    That or 3 at the back, which is what I thought it would be when I first saw it. Presumably we'll be quite fluid whatever happens

    So Poch decides to rest Kane today, in favour of the Barca game. Massive gamble considering today’s results.

    Do we realistically stand a chance of winnning the CL? No.

    Do we realistically stand a chance of winning the PL. Possibly.

    Could backfire... big time.

    Llorente is starting against Barca, with the plan being they're so dumbfounded we're 2-0 up before they realise what's going on

    Their central defenders are Wes Morgan and Jonny Evans, who both run like I do. If they're vulnerable, pace is their biggest weakness. Playing Sonny and Lucas up top should work.....let's hope it does. We've got to rest HK sometime and this game presents a logical chance.

    I genuinely, sincerely hope you’re right fella. Happy to eat a large slice of humble pie if I am.

    We could go 6 points off the top...roll the socks up lads and let's get 3 points

    Hope Poch doesn't do that half arsed thing where he messes both line ups and both games with a very big eye on Tuesday.

    We need 3 points

    As I always say, "should" is a dangerous word, i.e. "It should be no problem if the Titanic hits an iceberg no matter how few lifeboats the hip has, how no ship is expected to have their wireless operators working past 11pm, or how the ship's watertight compartments violate the trade descriptions act"

    No need for that. It's all guess work in the end. MP's brilliant tactical changes have a record of about 50/50. Dropping Kyle Walker and Ben Davies and putting Sonny at LWB against Chelsea in the FA Cup Semi-Final being a particular case in point.

    Davies was injured in the warm-up for that game wasn't he?

    Still no reason why we shouldn't have moved Verts to the left and had somebody rugby tackle Martin Twatkinson in the tunnel before kickoff to ensure it was 11 vs 11 though...

    Now Kane is not playing, I suspect a 4-1 to Spurs!

    Not sure about the ref tonight, booked Dier already for getting the ball and just thought Sissoko was stronger there

    Leicester fans will probably be on his back all match as he's the same ref who gave Jamie Vardy a second booking for diving (that well known bookable offence...) against Stoke back in 2015-16

    Could this be our first PL draw of the season?

    Every other game today was a home win. Odds are a draw or away win. So nil nil it is!! :headbang:
