Nothing on the right, Cash has no-one to give it to so goes backwards, this is a game when Rashford would have been very effective, miss his speed.

It will be the usual last half hour step up I reckon.

Does it just totally go against Unai's thinking to go Malen right, Rogers left and Asensio central?

I'm sure when Rogers first came in last season he took over Ramsey's place on the left when he got his season ending injury at Luton.

Bailey was starting most weeks so we need to sort the right side out over the summer rather than just playing stop gaps there.

I'd be tempted to bring Leon on for McGinn if we're still looking for a goal with half an hour left. Also, Disasi for Cash who will not keep getting away with one v one's with Son. I'd move Konsa across to RB though, Disasi there would be worse than Cash on a yellow.

We need Bailey on to stretch the play.

I’m sure Malen will be on at sometime but probably for Ollie.
Do we think Bailey can make a difference at some point if needed?

We always struggle against a packed defence.

If any set up Bailey is made for this Spurs set up at the back, bring him on.

We’re getting the chances, but enough if the lofted crosses.

Stop over playing it. Stop trying to walk the ball into the back of the net. Be a bit more direct. Our movement hasn’t been great, and three or four of them seem below par. I hope Unai gets into them at halftime

Bailey was class against this lot in the cup. Let him funeral them all the way to Bilbao.

I wouldn’t bring him on for McGinn. I’d swap him for Kamara and move McGinn central.

Rogers' great chance and 2 half chances is about all we have created, would like to see Malen on early 2nd half.
