No way do you start Endo against such an athletic side.
Jones can consider himself unlucky not to start. Him starting with the other 3 regular midfielders, that may have worked. Like many I thought the Man City away game was going to be the blueprint for tough Euro games, but Slot never went with it despite us being dominated in possession.
The baffling selection is Jota. You could almost have scripted how it would go. Against the old, lazy PSG, where the 3 superstar fowards never tracked back and they were easy to dominate, then you have a box finisher like Jota playing. When its backs to the wall you need more than just a finisher up there.
Thought before the game the only question mark was Jones or Nunez depending on what formation he preferred, to go with neither and have the lightweight in Jota made absolutely no sense.
