I won't start Jota in the middle. He doesn't have the pace or upper body strength for counter attack. I will start Nunez and tell him to run. To push against the centrebacks, to track back and pressure their midfield. Nunez has a high work rate. Just that he misses simple chances and then scores the harder goals. Then I will sub in Jota in the 65th min onwards to wriggle through the half spaces.
I suspect... seriously suspect... Gakpo is fit enough to start against Southampton. It's just that Arne Slot is saving him for the return leg against PSG. Didn't even name him on the bench against Southampton. If Gakpo starts on the left wing, PSG is in for a nightmare.
