James Maddison

FFS. Our only two midfielders with a bit of creativity and offensive drive in them, both injured and out for the season, basically within a day of each other.

This on top of going a lengthy period without centre backs, having our entire left side out injured and having fielded our fourth choice goalkeeper out of neccesity.

We really need to go down the Chelski route and stockpile at least six players for every possible role in the team.
 
We will have to rely on Biss as an 8, Deki as a Madders, and Bentancur as the 6-ish. We can start with Tel and Johnson, I would want to make sure Richy is on the bench in case Solanke breaks...Moore and odobert are both going to be very important...

Kulu needs to step up massively then.

Maddison would be a massive miss. As much as I can be critical for him because of his inconsistency he is really important to us because when he plays well we play well. He can dictate the play/be the orchestrator. Kulu is not that type of player, he does his own good things from the middle but Maddison not playing would be a big loss for us....

Not quite sure what Gray can do in midfield. Done extremely well at cb, not so great at rb. Only clips I've seen him play in midfield were for Leeds v Chelsea and he looked very accomplished passing and running with the ball. Think Ange will go with Bentancur and Bissouma with Kulu in front of them.

Odobert will be key in the second half if its still 0-0/1-0/Spurs winning and they have to attack and leave space

We'll lose the game if we play with an 8. A double pivot is the only way we are progressing. Bent and Biss pretty much managed that in the first leg, but it needs clearer coaching.
