The one move that confuses me is cahill over Luiz for this match. Luiz being able to spot the long pass would seem great for at least keeping some threat on them if they play their possession game.
Even better the high pressing stops Ramsey and Arteta. Throw them off their game and you have essentially nullified Ozil. This makes Giroud a nonfactor.
I'm not convinced Oscar has completely gotten over his injury. And Mata on the wings would be suicide with them bombing up the flanks against our fullbacks.
I actually think this is the perfect counter attacking selection. Mikel in there to protect the back four. Pace and hard work in Willian and Ramires Lampard....for being lampard. Also this allows us to rest Oscar for midweek so we can be sure he is at 100%.
If it wasnt a flop it was pretty damn close to it. KDB is a lot better than what he showed today, but it is time for him to go somewhere so he can get into form for next summer.
