Is there a thread for discussing the tactics and technicalities of it (Ange's style of football, so to speak), or just stick it all in here? For me there's a big difference between the man (obvious fucking legend) and the system which has some question marks over it.
Defending set pieces is something that can...
Whatever the next line up is I'd find a way to cram all of Bentacur, Madison and Lo Celso in. Either risk being lightweight in central midfield with Gio and Bents or put Madison out on the left and play Johnson on the right.
Son isn't a make shit happen creative player, he's an assassin that you feed chances to. He's not the problem, it's the lack of control in the middle and not being able to play through them.
So what's the answer to having no control in the middle? Go three in the middle? Get Bentacur on alongside Sarr and Bissouma? Madison on for Kulu, as Madison will drop deeper and help link things up? Replace Emerson with someone more creative on the ball?
Next week everyone will be calling him a hero. Week after calling for his head. He's a good player, not our biggest problem but the balance of this set up doesn't suit him today.
Kulu is ok if you have Bentacur playing in midfield as he's a lot more creative than Sarr and Bissouma or if the other side is sitting off us a lot more. If we can't play though them then you need players like Madison and Bents who are creative and can play on the turn.
