Might work with Lo Celso on the right wing, wish Jose would have a go at that.
Having Lo Celso on the Right wing would provide more opportunities to Son & Kane and he defends well too.

He would be a better crosser of the ball than Serge but would he have the physicality to get there?
God, I hope we smash these mouthy Cunts. Can’t stand the fans. Can’t stand the club. Can’t stand that scarecrow looking cunt Vardy. Smash them Spurs!!!
Can't see it myself.
Always pick players in their preferred positions, which in Lo Celso's case isn't right wing.
There's Bergwign, Lucas, Clarke, Bale (and possibly Lamela) more suited.
If Stevie B is going to be benched I’d much rather GLC start on the right wing than Lucas or Bale.
We’d get to experiment Tanguy and GLC on the pitch together without sacrificing Sissoko and RW is a position GLC played a good amount of at Betis.
I want to see us playing as at United and Southampton. Smack them 4-1
I'm not sure we want experimentation in a vital PL game. Didn't we start the two of them recently in an EL game? A bit of a failure as I remember.
My view is that you always pick players in their preferred position
We all know that the problem we have is our back four has to have Sissoko and PEH in front of them to look secure. We are just setting up too defensively.
Son and Kane up top. only leaves 2 spaces. Seems most of us want GLC and Tangay to play together to provide some real creative progressive thrust in the midfield. Trouble is their one start together wasn't too promising. and it leaves the left back exposed.
Could we try a 3-5-2
toby - dier- Rodon
Aurier - GLC - PEH - TN- Reggie
Kane and Son
when one of the wing backs pushes on the other stays back. Peh sitting in front of the back 3/4. It leaves them a little more exposed but on the plus side we hopefully control the midfield and cut off attacks before they get to the back line and can be much more aggressive in progressing the ball.
I'm not sure this will work but i dont think how we have been setting up will win us enough games in the long run.
I may be over complicating things and a simple 4-4-2 is enough.

I think Reggie should get more time and Stevie B should be the one to make way for him. Reggie is not a natural goal scorer but with Sonny and Kane you just need someone to get the ball up there.

Why not? He's quite a scrappy, high intensity player. He'd also have a higher starting position than Aurier, and less urgency to track back.
Didn’t someone say Lo Celso played on the right side of attack for Argentina?
With the exception of Berg, I personally would like to see Lo Celso in the starting lineup ahead of Lucas, Clarke and Bale to be honest, maybe it wouldn’t work but trying to get our best players all on the pitch at the same time is something that’s worth trying.

No, in the last set of games he played on the left side. Something between a LW and left mid.
He'd drop deep to pick up the ball and play short passes to move forward, press the opposition when they're on the ball etc.
When attacking he'd make runs towards the by line, and make cut backs towards Messi/Martinez. He's got a decent pass with his left foot when crossing/passing left to right.
He’s not as quick or as strong as Serge but I do like him
They attack a lot down the right wing. I was watching the Brighton and Everton games.
I would say a 4231 is what we will see with Hojbjerg and Sissoko helping the full backs.
Need be careful however that Tielemans and Maddison don't get too much space in the middle. Cengiz has done better than I thought. They do have a weakness on the left however. Unfortunately we don't have RW that has shown anything consistent this season to take advantage. I would play Bale in this, Fuchs isn't going to get forward much so Bale won't have to track back much.
