This has to be the team with all the injuries we have. Only option would be to play Sagna at CH instead of MDM. We can use Fernando off the bench to give someone a rest, Yaya possibly and we don't have much else. Kelechi and Kolarov will be on the bench with Willy plus three younger players.
I don't consider Sagna at CB as an option, i think that was purely to give MDM a much needed rest he won't ever choose to play him there unless it's forced upon him. The only real options we have right now is Clichy or Kolarov and Delph or Fernando. As i mentioned in the Sunderland game, Sterling started on the bench so we had legitimate options, for that same reason more than anything else, Kelechi will be on the bench this weekend. Wouldn't be too surprised to see Kolarov on the left wing a fair bit over the next month too. Leg saving subs will be made wherever's possible. What we need more than anything is a few games where we fly out of the traps and score a few early goals which would allow us to game manage.
