Before Gabby got injured, I thought we'd have a chance with our two CFs out given how well we defend. Then we lost our two LCHs and I thought we're gonna get gubbed but Yakob stepped up and looked like Stevie Bould and Boom-boom Keown.
But now we have Jorgy injured and Wigwam suspended so that's both DMs out. {At least Wigwam will be back for the away leg.}
I guess the only options are Benny Blanc at DM, or Dec there with MnM at inside left and Leo up top. {If Cala was fit we could try MLS at DM.}
If MnM did drop back to MF, he's full of confidence now. It's not like when he was trying to fight his way into the team after the pre-season injury. The fans love him, we know he can do the tackling and aerial duels. Those two assists last night were gorgeous, just what we'd want from an inside left. And he knows he can score now. Those first two goals he scored as a CF coming off the bench were the type of goals a MF scores arriving late in the box. And he'd be in the right place to get back post headers from a B cross.
