He wouldn't sit around trying to get an over-the-hill, unfit, nonscoring journeyman over the line. Definitely not. Instead he'd emphasise that a point is better than none. We are where we are. Let's at least try to get a point on the board, and go from there.
We have three good centre backs when playing a deep line (Sakho, Tomkins and Dann are all capable), and we have a plethora of full backs to choose from. Plus we have some decent defensive midfielders; Luka and Cabaye are more than capable, plus the useful addition of the left-footed Riedewald. So let's tighten up the midfield, and try to grind out a 0-0. It might not be pretty, but let's frustrate Man Utd and Chelsea. We are capable of doing so. Even if we lose those 2, let's do the same away at Newcastle. We need to get on the board as soon as possible, but a point to stop the rot will be better than none.
Let's try to be positive, by being negative. Let's be hard to beat. A tight defensive 4-4-1-1 or 4-5-1. We can get out of this mess. COYP.
