Going to be very tough for us.
Without Rose, Dembele, Dier, now Sissoko and of course Kane.
So,
Llrois
Davies, toby, Jan, Walker
Wanyama, Dele,
Eriksen, Son, Lamela
Janssen
And an inexperienced bench
We need to get a result in this game and without 4 regular first teamers and now Sissoko.
Certainly, it will be a touch match today.
Based on last match vs AS Monaco, Dele lacked physicality in the middle for the first half. So, I think starting Wanyama along with Dele would be a wise decision.
Although I would love to see Sonny as a CAM, but I also wouldn't mind seeing Sonny up top and Janssen subbed later. We also have Onomah, who just scored his first against Gillingham, available for a sub. Winks would be a good candidate for the final third in place of CAM. Not to mention that N'koudou is eager to play. Wimmer can be an option for a sub as well.
Since everyone on our Starting XI just had a weekend game and flew to Russia, they've got to be exhausted. I am hoping Lamela to step up this time like he did vs Gillingham.
On the same note, I feel like Poch may be using Lamela to shine in the Champions League and other Cups, while using Son to shine in the Premiere League. Just a thought.
