Toby isn't back until early next month unfortunately. I think we'll see a back line of: Walker Dier Wimmer Jan Against the scum, but as others have pointed out Poch will really have to earn his stripes in how he manages 3 hard games in the space of a week. I'm becoming increasingly concerned by how much game time a number of our defensive players - specifically Jan, Dier and Wayama - are putting in. Dier looked knackered against Spain but now faces the prospect of 3 more games back to back. I worry that we'll see the same burn-out we saw last season.
My liver is not able to handle the last minute victories, neither is my head. Spurs membership needs to come with BUPA health insurance.
I suggest tis more "to do" with you not realising British Summer Time ended a couple of weeks ago and resetting all your domestic appliance clocks accordingly.

He needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat. I don't have faith in the Wimmer of this season. Don't think we can play the wing back game without Walker and Rose. Thinking outside the box, but could be a disaster...put Walker on the left and Trippier on the right. However this could totally nullify Walkers attacking affectivness as he cuts in on every run to get onto his favoured right foot. Hmmmm I'll be back with more suggestions.
Trippier can apparently play left-back, so if you were going to pick both he'd probably be on that side.
Injuries, and Ingerland running the Spurbacks into the ground, have prevented this. Wonder if we will see the "back three" formation used against the Goons.

I actually think Lamela could probably do half a job there. But trying someone out in a completely new role, away to chelsea ? No ta.
Gary Neville is currently analysing what you did re BST, on Sky Sports. Called it a "schoolboy error" , and said it would never have happened under Fergie (time) .
Instead of Son, perhaps? Son as impact sub? And while i'm at it CCV for Wimmer with the back shifting leftwards one
