I would have to imagine if Lamela is healthy and good to go they would have Son, Lucas and Lamela up front.

had kinda forgotten about Lamela, that front three looks pretty good. I like Spurs in the tie, having watched Dortmund a decent amount in the Bundesliga I think their record flatters their performances a bit.
shame Alli is hurt, this is the exact type of match where I think he'd thrive

Higuain couldn't help that horrendous defensive display unfortunately.
Lol i saw this the other day on instagram. Im shocked he never ripped his shirt off and burned it lol.
Isn't that what Favre is consistently all about though ? Making a fool out of his xG and driving football statisticians to despair in the process.
True. That said, the degree of overperformance this season (outperforming XG by .76 goals/game - +31 GD, +15 XGD in 21 matches) seems pretty unsustainable. They also seem to just not play very well for long stretches of games, but maybe that's a stylistic pattern that ties into the whole Favre-magic package.
In general I'm also skeptical of a massive Favre effect, given the sheer # of managers and teams and seasons some randomness is bound to persist over time and look real. I don't doubt there's some effect, but everyone was talking about how Burnley had broken the xG model right up until the shots started going in. Have a lot of uncertainty about that opinion though.
Would personally go Son - Llorente - Lamela
Not a fan of both Lucas and Lamela starting without an actual striker
Afraid so. Was quite tempted on Dortmund tonight but after yesterday I'll just keep my money away from the bookie.
I see what you are saying and it makes sense. I just figure Llorente has just been kinda "meh" so far. And to be fair, Lucas play seemed to have tailed off somewhat too i feel. But i just felt having speed up front mightve been more useful.
This is why im no manager though. Id be horrid at these types of decisions lol.
Since twitter linking is not working:
Subs: Keylor Navas, Vallejo, Mariano, Marcelo, Lucas Vázquez, Asesio y Ceballos.
Starting: Courtois; Carvajal, Nacho, Ramos, Reguilón; Casemiro, Kroos, Modric; Bale, Vinicius y Benzema.
Reguilon and Vinicius starting makes me happy.

Should be an interesting match this, Spurs vs Dortmund. In theory, both teams like to play attacking football so there should be a couple of goals.
As much as I'd like to see Ajax pull a surprise, I feel like Real will win... with more or less ease, but they will win. We'll see I suppose.

VAR in the CL is SO MUCH BETTER than in the Bundesliga, holy shit. WC was also great.
Also: fuck Real.
