Man, I really hope Nwaneri is the real deal. If Øde needs a rest we will be leaning on the young lad heavily.

Pretty sure in one of the preseason games, think United, kai came on for odegaard and played his role. While its a big drop off its probably a lot better than relying on a kid in that role if Ode gets injured.

Recon Timber will end up as back up RB and Calafiori starting LB

One challenge with these representations is that they don’t capture all the positions where people could play, instead limiting to one.
Another problem is that the implication that there’s one formation. It feels like modern coaches think less in terms of fixed position rather than something else (relationships, etc)

Most of these players can play in multiple positions. It’s too simplistic.

I don’t think we’ve played with a double pivot since Torreira-Xhaka days. Also seeing Calafiori as a RCB cover almost gave me an aneurysm lmao

Wtf is this formation we haven’t played 4231 in over 3 years and we don’t even have the overlapping fullbacks to allow us to even if we wanted. Also Merino is a left sided 8/10 not a right sided 6

Is Neto cup tied? Can he play in the Carabao Cup?

It’s unfortunate that 3 of these are out on injury still. No striker on the bench when Jesus goes down is gonna be trouble. I just hope we survive against spurs with Jorginho and Partey

Probably add Miles Skelly as LB cover as well since he’s as close as Nwaneri to being first teamers

should be 1 dm and 2 cms but not a big deal

Arteta’s famous 4231

Isn’t Merino Rice’s backup, and Jorginho Partey’s?
I’m sure we will get all sorts of cool, weird pairings, but pretty sure those are, respectively, the 8s and 6s.

It’s nice to know we’re two deep at each position, and as others have said a lot of these players can play in multiple spots. Think Calafiori will start at LB at some point, and if he does we could have Timber/Tomi back up Saliba.

well we don’t play 4321 in or out position….
You forgot Tierney (I don’t know when he is back.
Also: I think Calafiori will play RCB.
