Spot on. Sissoko is good on the counter, not against busses.

Well Grealish did create our winner i guessWould love Grealish to play the Lamela role
To be fair we don’t know what Lo Celso will offer, I’m sure he’ll bring some creativity, but granted it won’t be on Eriksen’s level. Think the formation was wrong today, but even if Christian does go you still can bring Son, Dele and Lo Celso into this sideThose transfer window ratings change to 9/10 having seen what Tanguy can do. But also the rating if we lose Eriksen drops to 5/10. Far too reliant on him and GLC should be support rather than the sole creator. Lamela just can't be the main guy ever
I've always thought we needed an alternative good passer and lock picker. Losing Eriksen means its GLC or bust.

Problem with the team we’ve got no one off the bench who maybe able to change things. We need Sissoko’s strength in the middle for this one also. I’d probably bring in Eriksen for Moura as Moura would be good to bring on for the last 20 minutes. Agree that Jan should startOur diamond works against certain sides. It was grouse in the CL games against City and we arguably were on top in both league games v Liverpool last season with it, albeit no result came from it. However, against negative bus parkers like Villa it doesn't work and Sissoko, Ndombele and Winks was no.8 overkill.
We need to adopt a horses for courses model this season. We have enough options in CM and AM to be able to do so.
The switch worked this morning.
Assuming GCL and Sessegnon are not going to be ready for City next week I think we should go to the diamond again and beat City in the middle of the park, lose the CM battle to them and you're toast.

Do we need more width though, City are so dangerous down the wings. I’m thinking go with the three centre backs and two WB’s nowSimple change for this one Eriksen in for Lamela at the top of the diamond. The two beast Frenchmen as the muscle in the middle. Winks at the base
KWP and Rose will provide the width. Maybe even vertonghen at LB with KWP the one to really bomb forward while Vertonghen holds a little deeper on the left. Feel like Rose and KWP will get mauled by city but we aren't winning it 1-0 it's got to be a goal fest for us to stand a chanceDo we need more width though, City are so dangerous down the wings.

Yep, he's an inside forwardone that cuts in and plays mainly in central areas, he has no right foot so he would spend very little time out on an actual wing
I always hoped he could play as a #10 but that isnt looking possible. Redundant if not playing RW cutting in as part of a 4-2-3-1Yep, he's an inside forward
Just Vertonghen in for Sanchez for me and maybe Lucas to hold his spot for SonDour Newcastle at home. I don't want to see a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 diamond with 3 holding mids.
Attack, attack, attack.

The performances don't bother me at all. We're doing ok.We need a performance don’t we. We’ve had the results so far but something is off. Energy is still not there for me and this time we can’t put the blame on the players having no summer break
He's been raring to go after a suspension. Let's unleash the beast.Just Vertonghen in for Sanchez for me and maybe Lucas to hold his spot for Son
Results are the most important but good performances build confidence and will give an indication whether we can cut the mustard this season or not. So far we’ve had a good 25 mins against Villa and that’s about itThe performances don't bother me at all. We're doing ok.
