I really feel like nobody can have a clue about what Solomon will be able to provide in this system yet. I agree that he wasn’t particularly impressive thus far but Ange said that he was only just starting to get the system when he got injured. Essentially whilst I would be lying if I said I didn’t have a few concerns I do think he needs to be given the rest of the season to adapt. In theory he certainly has the skill set and he’s had dominating games and in the CL against the likes of Real Madrid in the past so there’s no reason he should be any worse then Jota and could even end up being better. Just need to give him time and let Ange work with him.All true however if Solomon is back he and Kulu can provide more of the guile plus Maddison & GLC.
Solomon for me is a poor man’s Jota, he should be good against the low blocks but next summer id like us to add Jota to really give us a great mix of options as I agree we do at times lack a bit of guile and creativity but Werner, Johnson, Richy and Son will cause teams big problems with their pace and movement the way we play.
As for the rest, realistically when Maddison is back or if we get another CM I think Kulu goes back to starting RW which should help with the balance of the front line but in the interim having Kulu and Gio starting in CM should help a lot with a more one dimensional front 3.
