The Mount one was particularly obvious. He surely had to be the choice from the bench given how far off it he was vs Chelsea.

Garnacho has been the better attacker and defends space better.

He and Bruno won 5/6 previous Europa games when started at 10.

This was so simple to get right

Ugarte isn’t on his game at the moment but the corollary is Lindelof in and Amad to R10.

Interesting options!

But I’d go with the above and minimise risk against a high press

Amad was absolutely shattered after 30 mins. As we said in the preview, he should ONLY have started if 100% fit. Otherwise his impact from the bench is unique. Think Bilbao.

It is a terrible performance by him but it was *not* his fault.

Fernandes should have been nowhere near the centre of the park.

Mount should have been nowhere near the pitch.

These are easy decisions that a top class coach should recognise.

Was better tonight but for their second goal sadly culpable. Cant make his mind up whether to keep back line high (as he was deepest with Delap); rallies as usual and lets Delap get half a yard on him

Onana doesn’t stand a chance. If he dives early to right and Delap scores to left he’d be shot

Followed up by a poor interview. VvD blaming Oliver. He played the correct amount of stoppage time and allowed similar challenges for both sides.
