Lloris (C); Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Dier, Wanyama; Lamela, Eriksen, Alli; Kane Subs: Vorm, Davies, Carter-Vickers, Winks, Mason, Onomah, Janssen
Nothing unexpected in that line up tbh. Seems the best choice ... on paper we look defensively strong and very good going forward. Good to see us with a real striker on the bench too!
No excuses today, we really should be beating a weakened Everton side like this. Got to hit the ground running though. Bench is interesting, I assume CCV is there because Wimmer has a knock but I'd have had Trippier there seeing as both Dier and Wanyama can drop in as centrebacks and we have Winks and Mason who can go into midfield. Chadli missing out is a big one though, does he have a knock?
That was never a foul by Kane. Fair shoulder charge and he was stronger. Decisions like that really wind me up
I have decided that this season I am going to be mega positive. Can see us getting right back in this match. 1 all by ht Coys
Of course not it was just a 50/50 shoulder charge. It's the type of decision that generally goes to the home team. Why do we always start each season so slowly? This is basically the same first team as last year with the team that created the most chances, yet it's like we have never played together at all going forward. So frustrating. I was so hoping we would put a marker down today but it doesn't look likely at the moment.
