I dont think 3 at the back will benefit us going forward. Alli hasnt been as effective and you just know they will be all over kane like a rash. I think we will get swamped in midfield and pinned back. Go 4 at the back and frighten them abit with a press. We need somebody who can make that defense splitting pass or take on an opponent in final 3rd hence opting for 4 at the back and lamela/son.
I really cannot see winks starting guys.
So after much deliberation ive altered my previous team
--------------------Hugo-----------------
Aurier----Toby---Jan-----Davies
--------Wanyama--Dembele-----
------Alli----------Eriksen----Son---
-----------------KANE--------------------
Tough call to not include lamela but opted to leave out due to being worried for him getting targeted fir a red card.
Changed my mind on lb as davies is rightly no1 and is in fantastic form. His defensive discipline will be needed.
Wanyama for his extra mobility and because he is better at ball winning imo. They will look to control possesion in the middle so we will need our best/strongest cm pairing.
Son has to play as the defence is pretty static and slow. His trickery will be a huge nightmare for them so we need to look to get him the ball early and isolate him 1v1 with them. He also draws more wiggle room for kane and eriksen to work there magic.
I watch italian football quite abit and let me just say....you can not go toe to toe with juve playing there type of game and win. No way. U match them up with 3 at the back going all defensive will just play into there hands and get you beat. You have to bring something to the table that will contrast what the know best. First leg is crucial not to lose BUT not by being defensive but instead through attacking them.
