It is strange that the last goal came from
- A RWB stealed the ball in the left flank
- A LWB crossed from the left flank, near the line
- A LCB headed home near the right spot
At least 2 players were at the "wrong" side, and all 3 were higher than their normal position.
I think it is a good hint about how we play under Allegri: quite intricate and creative.
Saelemaeker's energy and tactical awareness are known; but for a newcomer like Estupinan and a "brainless" Pablovic could cooperate like that, Allegri has done a good job.
Of course, some positions didn't perform well enough, not just the b2b duo and CF but also our star, Pulisic.
But I think it was due to the complexity of the new system, and the high demand for each player, especially the b2b and wing backs who must support both phases: attack & defense. So I expect a quite similar lineup, despite the introduction of Jashari and Ricci.

Jashari injured in training and is out against Lecce. Just a knock, nothing serious.
Edit: Could be out for an extended period. "Serious problem" with right fibula reported, a fracture is feared. If so it could take 6-8 weeks to heal and the pain and swelling can be present for months...
SkySport: Probable XI against Lecce: Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Musah, Loftus-Cheek, Modric, Fofana, Estupinan; Gimenez, Pulisic.
Banter era XI.

"Green table" is your friend, so even then... it is possible...
