OK, so obviously the real battle will be in the middle of the pitch. That fat-sh!t-Benitez, has rested hamsik, obviously for the purpose of being more successful in containing Pirlo, also making him more error prone, losing the ball, giving them the chance to counter us right where we launch our attacks. Pirlo is our brain and also our Achilles-hill, when constantly pressed.
So what's the solution here?
One would be those long balls from Bonbon, I think this time there's a better chance of this working, with LLorente up front. We also need to go wide, so a good crosser, one of DC or Isla?! I'm not a fan of them but we don't have better options.
