Pickford
Patterson-Mina-Tarkowski-Mykolenko
Doucouré-Gana-Allan
Gordon-DCL-McNeil​
As much as I personally prefer 4-3-3 as a formation, I cannot see Frank deviating from 5-2-3, he has been burnt too many times by this lot to not have significant protection at the back.

I think Gana will play in a two with Iwobi and then two of McNeil, Dele, Gordon and Gray as inverted wingers. It allows Patterson and Mykolenko to provide the width, which I think particularly suits Patterson and his defensive limitations.

We have also recruited for the 5-2-3 formation, so would be weird if 4-3-3 became our default.
 

Pretty clear we won’t be seeing 4 at the back for a while based off pre-season

I’m expecting

Pickford
Patterson Godfrey Mina Tarkowski Myko
Gueye with one of Doucoure/Allan/Iwobi
McNeil DCL Dele

Chelsea will probably come too soon for Gueye so probably Allan with one of Doucoure/Iwobi and we may see Gordon start over McNeil first game

Think I agree with you on this. Apart from I see it very much as a 3 at the back, as opposed to 5. Not trying to be pedantic when I say that. I just think that the full backs we have are very much focused on attacking
