Re the defence; most pressingly the central areas. Coufal, if my memory serves, has tucked in at centre back before. A back 3 can at least in theory compose one CB (Dawson obviously) and two erstwhile full backs.

johnston Dawson Alese
Coufal soucek lanzini rice cresswell
Bowen antonio

Or

Johnston Dawson Alese cresswell
Fornals rice soucek benrahma/lanzini
Bowen antonio

Prefer the 442 for back line height.

Bottom line either phaff with kral in backline or play a LCB in a LCB role.

With lukaku a bit off, Alese could do well enough

False 9 system no doubt ; isn't rocket.Havertz will play it and/or Mount.

I see Alese played in the 23s so unlikely

Agree - Davy only opens his mouth to make a potent point ; he mentions Dec at CB as that is what he is going to play tomorrow vs Chelski.

I'd rather play ALESE who is a C/B rather than losing RICE or Soucek in midfield.

Dawson scenarios changed this we've no choice really but to play Dec. Cressy and Johnno also ok as temp replacements as was suggested not long ago here.

I assume he's playing tomorrow - any rumours on the make up of the rest of the team tomorrow?

No great surprises i suggest - mind you if David rests some men he is criticised.and if he doesn't.guess what?!

Surely the priority will be Thursday in Frankfurt. Maybe rest one or two where possible; injuries permitting of course anyway.
