How do Mina and Gomes get in the team?

[Saint Domingo]

Easy, Davies and Keane get dropped mina and Gomes come in

Keane has morphed into Baresi in the minds of some because he’s been okayish recently. If Vardy has finished better he would have punished what was actually a pretty poor display from Keane yesterday. If Mina isn’t better than Keane then we’ve wasted another 30 Mill. I’m sure he’ll be miles better though.

I suspect a creative centre mid of some description will be a priority either in January ( loan maybe ) or deffo in the Summer.

I`ve mentioned it before, Demble at Spurs isn`t getting a game and would be a great loan / short term signing, until someone of quality can be brought in long term.

Levy wanted 60m for him. That's not a realistic signing. They certainly won't loan him either.

This is were the exit from the League Cup or whatever its called becomes a problem...ideal time to see how good Gomes and Mins really are. As it is,they may have to wait for an injury to Davies or a centre back,unless they show in training that they are exceptionally better than the current incumbents. Nice problem to have,but not disrupting momentum is the important thing for Silva.

Got to get fit first.

Lot of paper talk about a mass clear out at Spurs in Jan, Dembele being amongst them.

The clear out, is to give them funds to strengthen, due to the new stadium costs etc.

Has to be davies and keane.

Keane : yes he has improved some what from last season but is weaker than zouma, lets not overlook how he misjudged a long ball and vardy easily beat him for pace even though he had like 5 metres head start, vardy was clean through and should have scored. He is slow, very slow, id think mina is at least as good as zouma so we should improve theoretically.

Davies: has energy and can tackle, but his passing and creativity while better than gueye's is nowhere near what gomes has shown in the past. He will still have a big part to play but for his creative and slick passing, can also beat a man an inform gomes would have to be ahead of him.

We can always go 3 at the back. Fully fit first 11.
Pickford
Keane Zouma Mina
Coleman Digne
Gomes
Walcott Sidgersson Bernard
Richarlson

Unless there's an injury or suspension and as long as the team performance is up to scratch they start with cameos like Bernard did
He seized his chance, while Lookman for instance hasn't.

Bizarre there are people on here saying we should drop players from a winning team for 2 that haven’t even kicked a ball for us yet.

Not a fan of changing a winning team and dropping the captain tbh.

Think they will appear from the bench and try and win themselves a starting place from there.

Never change a winning team. Let the players know that if we win they play.......

 

[peteblue]

Isn’t it nice to have a thread like this.......

They won't come in for the Palace game but Mina will be in for Keane before too long.

 

[mccole]

We could go 3-4-2-1

Pickford
Keane - Mina - Zouma
Coleman - Gueye - Gomes - Digne
Bernard - Gylfi
Richardson

 

[WA Toffee]

Do Colombia have any games this weekend, and if so, is Mina in the squad?

 

[JL94]

One thing that needs to be taken into account is that Zouma isn't our player and isn't really likely to sign for us after the loan. Think we should develop a lasting partnership at the back instead of landing ourselves back in this situation at the start of next year

There isn’t a lineup without Gana that would be our best lineup.

Regardless, I’m not sure some of you realize how good Gomes is. He’s not going to sit on the bench behind Davies. And I like Davies.
