by far out biggest loss for the Spurs game, does so much work in the midfield really gives all players more freedom and relieves pressure on the whole team, easily one of our most important players

Hope we can at least have him back and fully fit for the return leg, lately he has been crucial in balancing our midfield and arguably one of our most important engines in the current 4-3-3 formation.

He will definetely be missed...

Big loss this one, we do really need to look at our preparation
far too many muscle injuries which is very odd because I feel like we actually rotate players quite often
For some strange reason we rotate our fullbacks quite often, big part of all the other rotation tends to happen because Allegri is forced by bad form, injuries or misconduct.

Khedira Marchisio Pjanic is still a decent midfield. The problem is the pressure: who will be running around hustling Eriksen, Son and Alli off the ball?

Noone of them have the physical conditions/ability of Blaze

Some reports say 30 days.Marchisio isn't in shape to play two games .If he plays against rats he won't against Spurs.Both matches are important.On the other side Sturaro is a joke of a player.Would prefer Bentacur.

im really starting to get worried. These injuries are problematic, to say the least.

Without him, we lose the remaining athleticism in midfield. Seems Mandzukic is gonna have to play LCM as well besides his LWB role

Expecting the first leg to be a defensive deathfest

No one. 'cause that would be a losing strategy. We need to shut down space thru tactics and organisation leaving little room between our backline and midfielders. Eriksen is the only one who is good "on the ball" together with Dembele. If Eriksen is forced to move outside to get space, he won't be a threat. Even with Matuidi we would never win a "running competition" against Tottenham. The pace and movement of the front four with Dembele is their biggest strength.

Lost muscle in the MF. Lost creativity without Paulo.

We are gonna sit deep, very deep all game long and counterattack with Pipa... look promising

Play Asamoah in CM against the shitty rats and play Marchisio against Kane and co. Bentancur is too chill of a player to play as cover for Matuidi, he is the type of player to thrive especially when playing with a player like Matuidi.

I guess Max will play Benta against the rats and Marchisio against Spurs.
