Agree but i don't think Jose plays those 3 together. He hasn't even tried PEH/GLC/Tanguy as a 3. I'd like to see him give that 3 a run before i could have any confidence he'd put Sabitzer in there.
I think the main issue with that midfield 3 was fitness.
Lo Celso entered this season injured (and has had obvious fitness issues throughout) and it's only recently that Mourinho has trusted to play Ndombele for 90 minutes. I have no doubt there were times he probably would have wanted to play that midfield but probably realised that due to fitness issues, if one of them DOES get injured, the other would have to be played with no alternative.
For example, if we sub Ndombele off now, who replaces him (if not Lo Celso?) - we have no one else in our team who can attempt to create something or move the ball forward in the same way.
Sabitzer, Lo Celso, Hojbjerg, Ndombele and Skipp for me is a really good choice of midfielders to choose from in that they all press well and all look to play the ball forward - we could perhaps MAYBE do with another, but I think Winks as 6th choice is serviceable.
If we can sell Sissoko, Lucas and Lamela in the summer - bring in Sabitzer and a wide forward who also has the ability to play up front then I think we'd be a lot better off. Whilst also freeing up a spare foreign spot.
And then of course in defence, we could do with getting rid of Sanchez, Aurier (if he doesn't sign a new deal) and Danny Rose and then improving centre back and right back.
We may just need one summer to really get a squad Mourinho wants. But I wonder if Levy gives him that opportunity
