Moura and Eriksen are the game changers for me. The manager will probably give them 10-15 minutes to sort themselves out else on come Llorente.
I'd want Rose on there to run at them - we're playing too much in front of them rather than running in behind, particularly on the left
Now when Llorente doesn't play, all of a sudden we put crosses in. Difficult to make sense of that. We need him on I think. There is no room centrally. The only way to create chances is through crosses.
And Eriksen needs to sort himself out. Awful both today and on Wednesday. We need him close to his best in this period.
You could arguably say Winks is doing a lot of what Eriksen would normally do. Could just go Eriksen for Llorente (if we're not getting joy playing through middle) and drop Lamela back a touch. Retain Sissoko's ball recovery's then.
I'm not sure that Lamela's non-scoring, non-assisting ability warrants him being on in place of Eriksen. Sissoko has done well in winning the ball back as you say, but I'd rather the extra creativity (and actually them having more of the ball might help us)
Try "shots on target"!! Jeez. PoorWow 6 games with out a first half goal.
