The problem is tactics as well as line up.
Toby to replace Sanchez, Bale to replace Moura. Both were thrown out after the whole team didn’t turn up at the Scum. Victimisation
Son to come in for Vinny on the left, but not hugging the fkin touch line where he feels isolated. He must have more licence to roam.
As to who the third mid is and what they should be deployed to do, I’m torn. Either Lamela or Moura to hound Pogba will probably be the way he chooses to go, but both are incredibly inconsistent and often wasteful in great offensive positions.
I want to see Stevie again, who obviously needed a goal to go with his unselfish play- his miss at Anfield feels like a lifetime ago now...
But I’ll go with GLC, not sat back playing one twos on the halfway line but finding space around McFred. He can do an hour which will help with his fitness.
Irrespective of score line, the problem will come at 65 or so when Jose takes off an attacking player and brings on Sissoko or Winks or both if he can.
They will be bang up for it after OT but if they play a high line we can get in behind. Which will mean Jose conceding >60% possession trying to suck them in. This is his main tool so get ready for those long periods of boredom.
