Pep has history in this respect
Of course it is,most teams in the prem put endless balls in the box,some play on the break,we play a high line and an ancient dinho isn't getting back,it's all about positioning which the player who is a specialist in that position does without thinking,we got lucky with LB stand in's,there is no reason tto think we will get the same luch,danny looks like he is off,ky is hopeless as a CB for england,we have lost vinny and to lose nico if he goes and we don't replace him is stupidityWe did it at LB. I personally don't think that in a Pep team that a "proper" CB is somehow more important than a "proper" LB.

Is Fernandinho really that much less agile than Nico or Vinny?
If it's all about positioning what makes you think Fernandinho isn't just as savvy?
One thing he will be better at is passing. And we all know how much Pep loves possession. Maybe with even more of it we'll concede less chances overall.
In terms of passing, pace, and indeed heading, I’m quite confident about Fernandinho playing at the back; he wasn’t too bad at left-back when asked. My only reservation would be that he’s been a little impulsive when tackling in midfield, giving fouls away to break up counters, and he’d have to watch that he didn’t do that when the last man. That said, I doubt he’d play at the back against the stronger sides.
We might not have a choice if we pick up an injury
I am surprised Juve would rather have Darmian instead of Danilo when Danilo is clearly better
Hope they reach a compromise
