So would people drop Mane for the Chelsea match?
If yes, who comes in?
Could be Bob, and play Jota on the side. But Bob hasn't looked that sharp in any of the recent cameos.
Could bring in Taki I guess, but against Chavs, think their defense might fancy keeping him quiet. Like Taki, has en eye for goal, but gives away silly frees, still a bit lightweight and flits in and out of games.
AOC, thought for a bit Jürgen might give him a try in a front three coming in from the side, but he seems to be playing him in the middle, even though imho he's not good enough to play there against quality sides.
Origi would be an option, but is injured - and even if is back, couldn't be match fit.
So I'd probably start Salah/Jota/Mane again, for the reasons above.
Not ideal, Mane is on a poor scoring run and his form is not what we know it can be - but the guy is a warrior and never stops battling. Have to admire him for that.
At the same time can see Jürgen get criticised if we put in another poor performance, particularly if he plays the same players as Leicester. Personally not sure he has much choice though.
