Ironically, it looks like the dreaded diamond could be the right formation for us. The difference is that with Ndombele and LoCelso we have 2 CMs who are crisp passers and can also bring the ball forward effectively. The Poch diamond was such a dull affair with no cut which only served to get the ball to Eriksen. We have some much better creative options from deeper now.
I think the bigger problem is that overall the team didn't work hard enough to press leaving the side midfielders to cover too much ground - that was certainly the case when we got tonked by Bayern.
