Not sure I'd bring Todibo straight back in.

.........................Hermanson

AWB.....Mavropanos.....Disasi.....Diouf

Bowen.....Fernandes.....Soucek.....Summerville

..........................Taty Costalot

..............................Wilson

He did it for Man Utd.  But he was coming deep which isolated Taty.  He is good from deep but also probably the best attacking wise out of him Soucek and Magassa. 

We'd be absolutely mental to put Fernandes as the advanced midfielder, he's been ridiculous playing deep, controlling pretty much everything from our perspective.

Magassa, like Potts, will be used to give us 3 in midfield and stiffle their build up play. Unfortunately unlike the Mancs, BMouth are rapid on the counter but Nuno likely to stick with same tactics and formation in a “paint by numbers” stylee. Mad Paco might have other ideas though?

Is Paco the ying to Nuno's yang?

Bit of a curve ball, but I'd pick what is now the accepted starting 11 (Disasi starts) but just replace Pablo with Magassa, and have him playing the same role that Pablo has been.

He played for Monaco as a 10 a bit apparently, but regardless, the job in that role is to hassle the opposition, don't give the defenders/defensive midfielders any time on the ball, and pinch the ball if possible. Magassa can do that no problem, and he's also quicker than Pablo, albeit probably won't have the same energy. The role hasn't been about being a goal threat, so we won't be missing anything on that front.

Show's the lack of options, but I reckon that could work.

I think he might end up going with a back 5 by default, i.e he doesn't trust the likes of Magassa and Traore to start. Plus it saves him the headache of which CB to leave out.

If Wilson is better off the bench, and gives us that fresh legs up top second half which we need.....

Is it worth putting Summerville behind Taty and Diouf LW with either Scarles or Mayers LB?
