I was expecting Kolarov to play LB, in which case, Son could have exploited the space left behind at LB, but it seems Pellegrini has covered that but also removed Kolarov's delivery threat from our point of view.Yeah I think I would have opted for Lamela too.
I was reasonably confident yesterday but the closer to kickoff it gets the less confident I feel. A red card and penalty (for us) in the first 5 mins would be nice.
