I was unsure whether to put Lallana or Ramirez in. Probably be Lallana actually. Also, Turnbull is out I've been told due to U21s duty. I've amended the team.
Really don't think we'll be seeing Cork, Schneiderlin and Wanyama together all that often. Everyone seems to be feeling a bit over-sentimental towards Cork, I don't think we'll be changing formation or tactics to accommodate him in the team; we need 3 CAMs to be pushing high up the field.
Turnbull hasn't got a squad number...doesn't stop him playing in friendlies, but I think he's back with u21s for this season now.
I think that's very true, but it doesn't change the fact that there's only room for two CMs in the team. The fact that Cork was so good last season and perhaps won't get into the starting XI this season just shows how good our depth will be this season.
Absolutely, he does a lot of unappreciated donkey-work and I'm sure Pochettino knows how important his contribution is. I still expect to see a lot of him.

Hi DTLW, will this app work on a pc?.... Maybe a dumb question, but I don,t have a so called "Smartphone"!!!
Both Yoshida and Ramirez start then! Obviously the feeling is they need game time, whether they're quite ready or not.
Shame Boruc isn't starting. Definitely our first choice, would like to see him play with the back four regularly to build an understanding with them.
