For me, he hasn't played a proper defensive midfielder.
I'd like to see him give it a go.
I'd like to see him do something like this against Cardiff.
We can go on about not replacing Lukaku, stones or even Barkley but the fact is, we've never even replaced Barry.
Yea, Gana is great at passing but isn't great at distribution so it's pointless playing him just in front of the center halves.
He doesnt seem keen on McCarthy or Schneiderlin and he's sent Benny out on loan.
He has to give one of these two a go and I hate to say it but morgan might be the best bet as he can string a pass better than McCarthy or Gana.
I'd also recall Holgate and Play Richarlison on the right in front of him.
Richarlison is better at getting back and covering at right back than lookman.
I'd put Davies at 10 because he works way harder than Siggi and can hold the ball up and find a short pass.
I'd go with Tosun up top because although he's not a great scorer, he at least looks like he bothers defenders.
I'd put Bernard on the left because he cant play anywhere else and when he's good he's very good. He could form a good partnership with Digne.
Against Cardiff, I'd go
--------------Pickford
Holgate, keane, Zouma, Digne
-----------Schneiderlin (or McCarthy)
Richarlison--Gomes (or Gana)--Bernard
--------------Davies
------------------Tosun
I get this post seems more like a game day post but if he made a few simple changes, there'd be a case for Silva in my eyes. He wont tho.
Bring on Bielsa
