442?

1.Roefs
2.Hume
3.Mandava
4.Alderete
5.Mukiele
6.Xhaka
7.Talbi
8.Mayenda
9.Brobbey
10.Sadiki
11.Adingra

Sadiki works so hard he does the work of two men anyway.

I wouldn't be shocked to see something like that, then you can have Talbi and Adingra tuck into the middle to help support(which is what really confused Brentford, when Le Fee would tuck in and leave the entire wing for Reinildo).

Villa play very narrow. Would have been diarra central and le fee on the left again i think if both were fit.

Likely, I still think bringing our wingers inside every now and again could allow for 1-v-1's on the wings but it's certainly less straightforward now that Diarra(apparently) is out.
 
Surely Enzo comes in?
"We don't know [what his long-term position is]," admitted Le Bris. "We started the pre-season like that, with Noah, Habib and Enzo, and I think we didn't see the best version of Enzo at that minute.

We spoke together. So when Granit came in the squad, it was obvious that it was the best decision at that minute. We had the conversation, it was tough, but it was clear and honest.

And when the opportunity came off the left, because he used to play in this position before, it was easy for him. So sometimes we have one idea, one ideal idea in our mind, and maybe it's not the best on the pitch, because it's just a theory, and the pitch will show something else."

Doesn't sound like Le Bris fancies him in the centre but might have no choice.
 
Has there actually been an official club comment on this like? Or just someone speculating? Said before but think this kind of thing is daft. People were claiming Ballard had done his ACL when he obviously hadn't.
 
Maybe we see Gertruida come in at Xhakas position and Xhaka moves to the left side of the midfield?

I’m sure plenty were saying this was clearly his best position at both Arsenal and Leverkusen
