I have no confidence that we can get a result against citeh. Wish I was more optimistic but.....
With our current injuries at the back it could have been a simple fix if we didnt have a 3rd of the squad defunct.
Id have gone with a back line of:
............................Lloris
Dier.................Fazio.......Kaboul..........Jan
Taking current poor first team form into account, we could have had a midfield of:
..................Bentaleb.........Capoue
............................Dembele
And a front line of:
Chadli.....................................Eriksen
..........................Kane
Could have even played Capoue at CB and put Stambouli CM with Bentaleb, or played Kaboul RB, Dier LB and had Jan CB with Fazio. Also would have had the option to play a front line of:
.............Ade..........................Eriksen
............................Kane
But because we "dont have the players", I guess it will be:
...........................Lloris
Dier..............Fazio........Jan..........Vlad
...................Bentaleb.....Mason
Lamela..............Eriksen............Chadli
........................Kane
Chaldi and Vlad to get raped, Kane left wandering around in the wilderness while Eriksen politely jogs around, Mason to get steamrolled off the park while Dier has to come across to cover the ailing high line leaving us wide open on both flanks. First sub on 70....Paulinho for Lamela (who has actually been alright today)
Chasing shadows, first shot on target in the 57th minute, 3-0 City.
And thats my positive take on it.
