After his struggles last year - but I would actually prefer Franck in that situation.
Vidal was Juve's #1 guy on penalties, same for Chile. Bad form I guess, or ball don't lie.
I'd put Thomas as #10, put Thiago back with Vidal in holding. Might even play Costa instead of Ribery. Wing play just lacked pace yesterday.
Not only Ribery was the option all 1st half and the reason for all those corners taken, Costa didn't even tap the needle when he came on. Granted, Bayern couldn't get out, but Costa looked out of his depth.
Starting to think he's checked out.
And thought we were really about to get screwed - because Javi was already off at that point. When nothing came out about it the next day, I figured it was fine. Guess not.
Lewy is good to go for next week.
Hummels may be good to go - fingers crossed on that one.
