The best chance would actually be recovering Kalulu and moving Veiga to LB, but I'm not sure if Kalulu could be fir already. Trabsfermarkt says he should recover on 17.02
What sample size are you basing it on that you think Veiga would be better than McKennie or anyone else at LB? He’s been very good at CB so why mess it up, think Kalulu will surely not be fit for it either way, or at least not at his best and probably better to not rush it…

I rather we stick with what we know works and avoid new experiments in a make or break game.

I just think we will be better with McKennie in the middle.

McKennie starting in the middle also means that one of Thuram or Douglas Luiz will be benched because it’s quite predictable that at least one of Loca or Koop will start too, whereas that results in having to start Kelly at LB again, so i don’t see in what world that is a better scenario for us.

What a world where McKennie is our key player and we have to make the difficult decision on whether to play him out of position because he brings balance nobody else can, or play him where he's best hoping it will be enough to drag the team to a win.
Basically the question is whether McKennie playing in the middle can turn out to be more decisive for us than it would be to start at LB a player that seems to be a liability and weak link, not sure if it’s just because he is rusty or hasn’t adapted yet but he looks completely out of his depth here thus far.

Jesus....... Ehhhh......
Have to admit that Perisic talks like a normal person. Lang talks like he is retarded, has an IQ of 45 and thinks he is a gangsta rapper..
But perisic is an interista...
I'd smash his face for that.
Okay I get it! One or the other isn't an option for you. Though you choose who gets what. And The Doors tune "the End" playing in the background. Peter: "Lang" I want .... "Perisic" I want .... Enjoy!

It does look easy from that Pic, I'm not defending his performances at all, but it was really dynamic and chaotic play here. Pretty sure he didn't know where Kolo is, he got the ball through deflection here.
When I saw it live I was like why not to Kolo and if you shoot where the GK is - It will be wasted.
I mean I think he saw Kolo but thought he could finish it but it wasnt such an easy task considering the defender blocked the other side and the GK covered the corner well.
Anyway he sucked even if I dont hold this particular incident against him.
TBH We won despite most players not playing good enough. Gatti clear MOTM.

I would say even more, not only playing not good enough but also going for glory instead of teamplay, because it wasn't only that one play when a player should pass.

That was a response to those strange numbers, I don't understand them... American numbering is very weird, 112+ (what the hell is this?)

:p

If you're talking about the ratings of the Italian newspaper, they've been doing this for a long time (there are even groups of people who play games guessing these ratings).
