I don't think either Winks or Ndombele can play as the most attacking mid in a 3 man midfield. Not natural for either of them. We're relying on GLC or Dele. GLC is injured, and Dele isn't performing. We're really fucked there.

I was assuming GLC to play as part of the 2 man CM role - with the alternatives being Winks or Ndomele - as much because we need him more than as part of the attacking 3.

Personally I'd play Son and Bergwijn alongside Dele to support Kane - Bergwijn being probably both more creative and a better goalscorer than Moura, so get a little creativity in tyhe side.

The issue is we cant have a £60m creative midfielder on our bench and not play him, as the rumours are ow that he's staying.

Are you proud of that table?

That table is nothing to be proud of, but I don’t see it as the egregious thing some are claiming it is. Look at where Villa, Brighton, and Fulham are, and explain how none of these teams seem even remotely capable of finishing in the top half despite chucking this kind of money around?

To me the most glaring thing that this table reveals is basically that our non-investment in 2018-19 in comparison to Liverpool’s full investment that summer is the main difference between our squads. They spent 127m more than they brought in from transfers that summer, and we famously spent 0. They are 115m ahead of us in spend.

We were on the same level as Liverpool going into the 2018 summer and they made the squad investment to take their squad from top 4 contenders to PL and CL title contenders. We didn’t and we’re still paying for this now, and we look like a team that is in rapid decline. We needed another summer of investment like last summer to take a leap, and we simply haven’t done it, and aren’t going to.
 
The commentary around PL is hilarious


Chelsea starting two new players and look rusty: they really need time to gel together

Spurs start two new players and look rusty: meltdown, sack Mourinho

I'd like to see the table which shows each clubs debt to their owners, plus interest.
