And they play like they did at Wembley!! My concern is Matic - always seems to play well against us whether for Utd or that slaggy bunch from West London!
Yep. Although part of me does want him to try and regain his place. The LB spot is much more closer in quality than RB, Tripps is leagues above Aurier but Rose and Davies both have separate qualities over one another. I thought against Leicester in the final game last season, despite conceding three goals, Rose finally looked like the Rose of old, was bombing it back and forth like a mad man, if he can bring that back to the side I’m gonna love the battle with him and Davies, two high level LBs.
Playing sanchez in a back 3 could have allowed tripper and rose to be more ruthless going forward down the wings than they will be in a back 4. This could have potentially pulled Valencia and shaw a bit wider/out of position, allowing Kane/dele/lucas a bit more space centrally. I think smalling and Jones would have struggled to cope with that down the middle. But in Poch I trust, obviously!
There is the possibility Dier could drop into a three, allowing Tripps/ Rose more freedom. What is likely set to be: Hugo Tripps, Toby, Jan, Rose Dier, Dembele Lucas, Alli, Eriksen Kane Could well be (at times): Hugo Toby, Dier, Jan Tripps, Eriksen, Dembele, Rose Lucas, Alli Kane It’s the beauty of having Dier. Such a key player for us. One of my favourites. Don’t think anyone would’ve guessed that about me tbh...
One man we need to have a good match tonight is Craig Pawson - That is a United side set up to stifle and Herrera will kick anyone who goes past him until he is booked so lets hope the ref is strong.
