If we get Fonte vs Blackburn I think it'd be
Marshall
Brayford Hudson Fonte Fabio
Dikagoi Whitts
Dæhli Mutch Kim
Macheda
Lewis, John, Turner, Gunnar, Burgstaller, Le Fondre, Guerra
If we don't get Fonte and fail to get another CB put Turner in and Eikrem on the bech.
Although I think Ole wants us to play more attacking football he won't go rushing in against a strong Blackburn side. He'll want to avoid losing the first game more than winning it. So pack the midfield and have players than can keep possession (Kim, Dæhli, Macheda) to try and take the sting out of the game.
Cala is suspended and Noone is injured so not sure why they are being included.
As for Dæhli in a free role, yes the kid is good and he's going to be exceptional but he's too light weight to throw into that role in the Championship. Really it's too much responsibility at this time too. One day yes, one day at a far higher level also, but not yet.
