    What the lineup says to me is that rotation will continue, come hell, high water or City. It is brave, tbf. It does make sense not to make the same mistake we made last year in burning players out (debatably). The idea is that we won't need a hold up man against a team that will play football. The problem is that we will to relieve periods of pressure. On the bright side, it's a team with pacy players for Lamela and Eriksen to pick out. COYS!

    Wanyama is too many "hospital" passes / much red card magnet to control the Citeh MF.
    Rose and Walker could have a lot of fun today though.

    I'm wondering if we're going to have Lamela/Son switching up front like they were against CSKA.

    That said, I'd prefer Janssen up front to keep their centre backs busy to free up space for Son/Sissoko/Lamela - and as soon as I type that out I see a potential problem with our squad, namely how we can't really get Eriksen, Lamela, Alli, Son and Sissoko into the team at the same time without playing a couple of them out of position.

    Indeed.
    Time will tell whether this is an inspired line-up or it will go as we fear it will.

    Alli will be benched when Dembele comes back.

    Son with the early nutmeg. Should've picked someone out instead of shooting, though.

    Bright start, but then we start trying to play it out from Lloris when it's not on. Stupid.

    Son's got to go across the goal, again. Playing well, but wasting chances.

    Sissoko getting in on the nutmeg action. Is that something that this squad trains on heavily? It's bizarre.
