Of course they are a decent side but Justin has been a key member of their defence. As we have found to our costs losing one or two key players can have a domino effect and suddenly the whole machinery is not functioning as it should. Without Justin their defence is more vulnerable and I can see our attack having some joy tomorrow afternoon.
It does have the feel of owners that maybe reconsidering their future with the club. Don't think they've really understood how much it would cost to stay at title winning level. And then the Pandemic, which also ties into the Red Sox having huge losses (Red Sox will always come first for FSG, its literally tied to their name). We've always known they're a profit driven group.
Think we will see Hendo and Kabak as CB's today, would prefer Kabak and Phillips to leave Hendo to go into midfield with Thiago and Widj.
Industrial line up. Protecting the CBs? Interesting flexible line up for Leicester too. Could be 343, 442 or 451 but suspect they'll go with 433.
That’s the best line up we could have come up with the players available. Shame that both Fabinho and Thiago are not fit. Thiago is at least on the bench.
