So Flamini in and Poldi out - we are still "a leetle beet short".

Flam on the bench means we can at least deal with 1 potential midfield injury. In case of no injury he can come in the 70th minute replace any of the other midfielders if we need fresh legs.

If Giroud stubs his toe we'll be f**ked though.

Or does Flamini solve the defender crisis as well?

By the way, are you a fan of Michael Mann (the film-maker)? If not, I think you ought to be.
