They're a decent team but they're very reliant on Gomez, I think I'd play Onana in this one to help us box the midfield.

I'd bring him in for Buendia and let Tielemans play a little further forward and push Rogers to the left. Now we've given Malen a start I think we need to stick with him for a few and because I want the extra man in thge middle that would be my only change. If it isn't working I'd look to get Watkins on fairly early to play alongside Malen.

I was thinking yesterday that maybe an extra body in midfield may have offered us more control  than we got. I suppose it’s the balance between being secure in our defensive shape and then offering something going forwards so we don’t look blunt in attack.
