Bit more than "when called upon" as he pretty much played the second half of his career solely as a centre back.

Yep surely the semi final of a European competition is the time for risking players.

If you are going to risk Zouma then risk playing him in the semi final matches.
No point playing him against Arsenal and he gets injured again.

Steve Potts used to do a super job at centre half when called upon.

I hope we send out the entire youth team on Sunday to make a mockery of the EPL scheduling and fuck over Spurs….

Let's hope they dont try and target Dawson either by crocking him or getting him sent off..
Very cynical but wouldn't put it past a lot of teams to do so.

i just think moyes will trust cresswell there more, but i do think johnson could be a decent cb as he reads game well defensively

OneAll - agree with the personnel but I think Cresswell at LB is more likely.

I think starting against Chelsea with a back three/five spoke volumes. I expect that's how we'll start against the Sausage boys. Or it's the most un-moyes-like ruse ever.

Surely we set up like home and away to Lyon 4-2-3-1
Johnson alongside Dawson, Cresswell left back
Lanzini will be needed to pass to one of ours unlike a Masukau alongside anyone.

I think our makeshift defence did well to hold them pretty much for 89 minutes.
They scored when we were down to no CB's and playing an even more makeshift defence that had seconds/minutes to figure out positioning etc.
If there was anyone out of position then to some degree I wouldn't blame them.

I fear you may be correct. Scares the shit out of me old Arthur. Gonna be some proper arse clenching on Thursday.

On the clip on the bbc website match report Moyes was asked of he was likely to have any defenders back for Thursday.
I wouldnt have thought so was the answer
If Zouma has been training since last week as reported I am guessing he might be ready for Arsenal
Dawson & Johnson v Frankfurt
Zouma & Johnson v Arsenal

I wouldn't blame Cresswell for the goal. Lanzini was ambling back instead of busting a gut with Pulisic in front of him.

Lack of spatial awareness by Cresswell yet again and his habit of turning his back when the opposition shoots.

I thought we looked pretty solid defensively until the Dawson red card.
We rested attacking options.
So no reason not to be positive about Thursday.
