That would be the best choice, certainly better than the midfield diamond that's left Trippier open to making more brainfarts than usual
I don't get those saying Llorente replacing Sissoko is an odd choice. Surely bringing on Skipp in a like-for-like sub makes less sense, as he's far too raw at the moment?
3-2 HT. I'm pissed off with that, to be honest. Shambolic defending and naive tactics. Once we took the lead we should've killed it off, slowed it down and made a change. Trippier's been exposed all night and it was utterly predictable that he would be.
Rose and Trippier trying to out-**** each other. Trippier edging it at the moment. Pathetic from the pair of them.
Start going long to Llorente. Citeh play a high line, and any knock-down to Moura or Son is likely to pay off.
In completely unrelated news, Eintract Frankfurt have activated the clause in Luka Jovic's loan and have signed him for £7m Why do I bring this up? Mainly because that'll be this summer's main transfer auction, so can we stop pissing about and sign Ndombele please?
Go back to the start of the tie last week. Would you have taken having to draw with City over the last 45 minutes (by any score) to go through?
I don't even know where to begin. Not in a bad way. I've just never witnessed anything like that from Spurs. Not since the Gerry Francis era in any event. City are having far too much joy down the flanks. Not dig at Trippier or Rose as the core of the problem is how cleverly City move players off the ball. Wanyama isn't sharp enough to patrol the entire width of the pitch and with Sissoko off this could get worse. I would be tempted to bring Dave on for Alli and switch to a 5 at the back if only to have a spare defender picking up whichever one of KDB or Silva goes on the overload. Drop Eriksen deeper and get him pinging balls into Llorente for Son and Lucas to feed off. The current set up is making it extremely tough to get on the ball and take the pace out of the game.
With HK, Winksy and Mooooooussssa Sissssooooooookko fit? Yes. With fit players running out fast and nothing on the bench? Not so much,
I want them out, and any score that does it is acceptable. Just a scummy Sugga Daddy FC in Manc town.
