It’s really he needs to be played centrally - whether that is at No.10 or in CM. He’s just not as effective out wide.
Wild thought that you pay good money for top prospects and they look like good players!
Would be interesting to see a midfield three of the above in a 4-3-3. Despite all three perhaps being natural 8s, there is arguably enough defensive tenacity and offensive creativity between them for it to work. Before Fabinho arrived, Liverpool played a midfield three which had no recognised 6, so it can be done.Hopefully Jose can find a way to fit him, ndombele and fernandes in the team, could be special
Options are great though. We have too many number 8s though. It's crazy. Particularly as personally I think a n8 is Winks' best position.Will be an interesting conundrum for Jose when Tanguy like Gio proves his quality, as both our summer signings are probably #8s and a pivot of Lo Celso-Ndombele is probably too offensive. Therefore the only way to put them both in the team is to either force Gio out wide (where he's less effective) or play a 4-3-3 with both central. However, if we did the latter then Dele would either have to be dropped or moved to false 9/out wide. Will be interesting to see what Jose does as I think Ndombele and Lo Celso are both incredible acquisitions and are probably both too good to be benched.
Yep, we obviously need a dm but if Lo Celso is to be considered an 8 I’m starting to think our attack is in more need of reinforcement than our midfield. Lucas isn’t good enough to be a consistent starter and Lamela still flatters to deceive more often that not. I think we need another wide forward/winger option this summer based off Jose’s work with the system so far.Options are great though. We have too many number 8s though. It's crazy.

You see, another option would be good. But I'm happy there as well. The main issue is we need someone to really give us structure, and we also need to be coached that way. The forward line did well without a striker, they just didn't take their chances and we struggle to get hold of games in midfield.Yep, we obviously need a dm but if Lo Celso is to be considered an 8 I’m starting to think our attack is in more need of reinforcement than our midfield.

Imagine certain people on here were writing him off earlier in the season ?????
Argentinian dark arts- embrace it Glebbers, it scares the opposition because if they do take him down they could get sent offI love him. What a player.
The only thing I don’t like is the way he stays down pretending to hurt after every time he’s hit
I think he would play Alli off the left and Son off the right.Mourinho has proven he is not afraid to change his mind on players. If Ndombele gets fitter and gets a good run of performances in until the end of the season then Jose will be strongly considering a switch to 4-3-3 with Alli's place under threat.
Less than two weeks agoIt was literally a couple of weeks ago in some cases. Embarrassing.
I'd terminate Lo Celso
