Thanks for driving into the Pirani thing. I still think he works so well as a late game sub, but it's going to be tough to not start him. Maybe instead of Murrell as a false 9 to see what that yields against a team of slow centerbacks.
DC should not be lobbing crosses right now. Early crosses work well for what we have available and will ideally create an alternative attack when Benteke isn't available or need a different threat.
In the pre-game press conference Lesesne specifically called out Fletcher's ability to assist in the build-up from the #9 position. If Badji isn't ready to start I think we might see Fletcher get his chance from the beginning of the game.
Re: lobbing crosses, I know what you mean, but they haven't shown much ability to do something else. The goal in the Revs game still came from a cross!
