Possession style against Nice
Sakai and Bedimo to run the flanks, protecting and attacking down the wings overlapping for Thauvin and Sarr
Doria and Cahill to be alert and protect our box, be strong in the air and play the ball out from the back
Sertic to screen the back 4, protecting from the oncoming attacks
Sanson to push on and look to move the ball into dangerous areas, working the defence hard
Lopez to work a roaming playmaker role, moving up and down with the play and the turnover of possession always being an outlet
Thauvin to work on the right flank using Sakai as the overlap in attacks and getting back as cover in defensive situations
Konoplyanka to Push on more down the right hand side and work the ball into the box for Ben Yedder
Ben Yedder is to push onto the defence and look to get in behind with passes coming from Sanson in the midfield area

80th - Cabella on for Konoplyanka to keep the pressure high out wide
85th - Sarr on for Thauvin to keep the energy up protecting the back 4

---------------Cardinale-----------
Klostermann-Kimbembe-Mere-Dalbert
--------------Koziello--------------
--Mboula--Bakayoko-Seri--Dembele--
---------------Werner--------------

Subs: Nkunku, Mere, Gomes, Sarr, Saint-Maximin, Holding

Marseille play 4123 so we're playing 4141 which is the best counter formation as it thwarts the opponents possession and with deeper wingers cuts of the supply to their attack.
Expect a physical battle in midfield but we can excel there with Koziello pulling strings. Bakayoko as B2B, take the ball forward and swamp their defence. Seri enforce, break down their attacks.
FBs keep their wingers on the wrong foot and block crosses, Kimbembe & Mere to play out to the flanks, don’t be drawn out of position, retain discipline.
Mboula & Dembele to avoid hitting balls into the box due to their height but instead hit diagonal through balls and also run into the space Werner’s movement creates.
Werner to never stand still, drag markers and look to cause confusion with the loss of Cahill at the back for them.


70m – Nkunku > Seri, take over role of enforcer
80m – Saint-Maximin > Mboula, fresh legs on the flanks.

GAMEPLAN
Today we're gonna play the 433 and look to target Torino's ageing back line. Look to use the pace of our wingers to trouble Torino's 3atb formation.

DEFENCE
Orban mark their main striker, Doucoure to do covering. Fullbacks make overlapping runs and get crosses into the box. Tousart's main role defend, cut passing lanes and close down attackers. Cyprien and Tolisso will be playing as b2b and will help both attack and defence. Make runs forward, play quick one twos to create space in middle.


ATTACK
Calvert Lewin to play quick passes with teammates and make runs into box. Interchange with Philipp to confuse oppo defence. Our wingers will look to use their superior pace against Pepe and De Rossi, who will struggle with our pacy attack. Kane play as proper old school number 9. Get on end of crosses and use expert poacher skills to get goals.

----------------Moreria
----Pepe----De Rossi----Chiellini
Alves---Dahoud----Benassi---Plattenhardt
----Robben------Belotti--------Falque-----


Tavares, Maoussa, Jagielka, Baselli, Harit, Jensen, Brewster

We have brought out the 343 this week, but we are going to press our arses off tonight, dont let the opposition have a breather at any point. We will also aim the keep the tempo as high when we have the ball, get the ball out to the the front 3 quickly.

 De Rossi will have licence to join the midfield if they look like they are getting outnumbered. The wingers will be using their pace and trickery to cut inside and try to draw their full backs inside, let our full backs bomb on, as they both have the energy to get back quickly, which will force either the opposition wingers to track back and stifle their attacking play, or leaving the defence outnumbered. When defending, we will hunt in packs, allow De Rossi to step into midfield to join the pressing if needs be.

Subs - 60 mins
If we are winning we will bring on Harit and Baselli for Falque and Benassi and purely counter attack, if we are drawing or losing we will bring on Harit for Plattenhardt, with the wing backs acting as wingers.
