re: I think I'm happier we're playing Belgium than Algeria

They suggested throwing Yedlin out on the same side as Fab, basically taking Bedoya's spot, and using both their aggressiveness out wide to force Hazard to track back and help poor Vertonghen.

I still don't think I agree with it as we'd basically be rolling the dice on Hazard not slipping through but it's an interesting thought and Klinnsman has already shown he'll pull surprises.

The problem is we'll have to actually possess the ball to force him to track back and we have shown no ability to do that this tournament.

Also, Belgium, unlike Chelsea, have other dangerous attacking options outside Hazard so the the old triple team him against the sideline that all the smart teams did against him last season probably won't work as well.
