So my thoughts on Odegaard’s absence are these: Havertz picks up his pressing/attacking duties and Jorginho picks up his outlet/facilitation duties. I wonder whether we can use Jesus and Havertz as our front two tomorrow; the former has a great record in Europe and will press like a monster. Plus, I desperately want to see Jesus hit anything close to his peak form, jinking and juking through the final third, and that seems to put him in a good position to do so.
Good call
