Lineup for Spurs

[@jolslover]

                             Fabri

   Christie    Chambers     Ream     Bryan

                           Anguissa

                   Cairney          Seri

Schurrle                                         Sessegnon

                            Mitrovic

Dropping Kmac is bold, he's the anchor of our side.

Hmm, While I agree to an extent I think it is bold to leave out a 30m signing who is most likely an upgrade on Mcdonald.

[Count Flapula]

Don't think we should drop Schurrle for AK, I noticed Schurrle made lots of positive runs that weren't spotted by teammates - he is very positive and tried to get in the box / on the end of things.

Once our players get used to where he makes runs he will get goals as has proved in his career. I think he needs time on the pitch for our team to get used to how he's plays and once we get as a unit I think he and Sess will be very able support to Mitro in the penalty area. Leaving Schurrle in the bench will only delay this understanding from building.

A players fee doesn't necessarily determine their ability, KMac would walk the french league, would he then be worth £30mil?

Think he's one of our most underrated players and I find it hard to believe any new signing would be an immediate upgrade, perhaps in time, but right now, with so many new players already in the squad, Kmac seems more important than ever.

Amazed at the claim MacDonald is underrated. My view is he's the most overrated player we've had in my near 30 years of Fulham support. He certainly didn't make quick enough decisions Saturday, got caught a few times, and mostly passed the ball 5 metres to Christie. I can see an argument for him sitting in front of the defence on Saturday, but he really needs to step it up.

Don't think we should drop Schurrle for AK, I noticed Schurrle made lots of positive runs that weren't spotted by teammates - he is very positive and tried to get in the box / on the end of things.

Totally agree. Saw the same as you. Just not on the same wavelength. AK's time will come, but for the moment he is best to come on as an impact player when defenders are tired. I doubt AK can sprint or play with a high intensity  all game.

[itombomb]

If Bryan is fit and we're confident he can get up and down, I would contemplate McDonald and Anguissa sitting, and Cairney or Seri playing as an inside-wide forward instead of Sess/Schurlle.

Which I leave out is dependent on who Tottenham play - our left side is likely to be under more pressure if they pick the same team - Aurier/Moura is a much bigger threat down the flanks than Davies/Ali.

I have no confidence in McDonald being able to cover Erikssen on his own (not to mention how Ali and others drift into midfield too).

I'm not as harsh on McDonald as that poster above, but he doesn't have the speed/body-control necessary at this level to sit in that position on his own.

[Statto]

I'm not sure Anguissa's work permit has come through yet

no idea how long the process can take but based on Muto for Newcastle recently getting his in less than a week, i'm assuming anguissa will get his by saturday

did vietto not need one if so he's came pretty quick ck

don't think so, based on the offal announcement not mentioning it, whereas they mentioned the work permit in the seri and anguissa announcements. i assume he's also got spanish or italian or some other EU citizenship somehow

[Skatzoffc]

I think Schurrle will start until he gets fully match fit. With AK coming on when he is tired.

Just an opinion but I think that is the way Joka will play it. He is very methodical.
When all of the players are fit he will assess them and decide who to drop.

COYW!

[The Rock]

We don't know enough yet. We don't have all our players yet either. I want to see Mensah, and to ask to see him at LB due to our injury crisis (if Bryan isn't fit) is an insane thing to say isn't it?

We will win 1-0 like our last time at Wembley, or lose 5-0. Our style doesn't permit otherwise. We don't know or have our top 11 yet, so I fear it's 5-0.

if you look on the online shop you can't buy an Anguissa shirt, this is probably just an over-site however they may be waiting until he can play before his shirt is available?
