I'd have put Nwaneri in for Odegard, left Merino up top and brought White into the line-up somehow - or even played Trossard in there because that's where he ended up playing anyway. Did you see our bench? Kids and Sterling. Nothing in reserve really. Do we have any more 5th place challenge matches in-between? Play the fucking kids, we CANNOT afford to pick up a single injury.
