Guaita, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Michell, McArthur, Gallagher, Zaha, Eduoad, or maybe !0 When Eze is fit, does anyone disagree with this.

Is there a system where we play a CDM (Luca or Kouayte) and Macca Gallagher and Eze? Personally I wouldn't break up the Macca Gallagher axis but I can see it happening.

Sort of. Although I wouldn’t say Guiata, Ward and Eduoard are quite at that level yet. All are only a couple of bad performances away from being replaced as there are very capable back ups. And Mitchell is largely there due to lack of a better option. To answer your question, I think the only ones that truly truly pick themselves at the moment are Andersen, Gallagher, Macca and Wilf.

Both Macca and Gallagher press and tackle but they don't really provide cover for the back 4. Or put another way If we set up like that they would be in different roles to where they are now and so can't have them there as permanent features until we have seen the different set up work. It's more than 4-3-3 - it's how players work within that system. There is a potential 4-4-2 0r 4-5-1 with either Zaha either up top or wider but that will look quite different to where we are now and would be choosing the side by picking the best players as opposed to picking the best balanced side. Part of the reason we are flying now is that PV has been getting the chemistry right by finding combinations even if it means omitting Olise and using Tekkers as a central foil for Edouard and Zaha as inside right and inside left.

What happens when Eze starts? You could go 4-3-3 with the three of them but it would be a very different system to the one we have now unless you see Macca as a CDM - which I don't really.

your assuming Eze starts on his return.... Vieira may not fancy him - or he's not returned the same player ...

The back 5 + Gallagher would be my only certainties. Add Macca while he's in this form. All the rest are competing, Zaha included. Olise is really excelling in his cameos and could be better than them all.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

It's a good question...no idea. I think horses for courses....some matches we'll get away with Macca-Gallagher and Eze in front of them. Others we'll need the steel of Luka/energy of Kouyate. That's the beauty of a decent squad I suppose.
