Yeah I think that sounds about right. Defense starting to look like:

Emerson - Romero - newCB - Udogie

Midfield going to be combinations of:

Bissouma and Maddison - sure things to start
...complemented by one of Gio, Bentancur, Sarr etc., depending on opposition

Richi in attack (as I expect Kane to go) and then any of the rest alongside. I like the look of Solomon

Yep its taking shape isn't it mate.

Add a CB or 2 and a top class goalscoring RW and let Son and Richy cover up top we could have a very exciting season on our hands.

No he isn't, lets not go mad here. Bentancur is easily our best midfielder when fit, followed closely by Bissouma. Lo Celso has a LOT of work to do to convince me he is going to make it here.

That's fair enough. They all offer something different, but imo Lo Celso could be our most important player this season. Such a clever player.

Yep he suits this well as at his age he doesn't have to run doggies up and down 60 yards he can just use his quick feet and good technical ability 1 on 1 and use his experience to know when to keep the ball vs when to beat his man etc, could be very useful under Ange's style of football, perfect technical player for 1 and 2 touch.

I try and be balanced in my views here as it's ore season and let's be honest it's the equivalent of playing a league two side .

Solomon looks great but it's going to be much harder to look like that against a premier League defender so I'm much more reserved in my view of him.

But with Perisic that quality is there no matter who the opposition is. If he has space he will deliver which is why I'm so enthused by this display. In this team he will get space.

Judging by this it's no surprise the second team beat the first team in the week. They just want it more.

If I had to guess I'd say our most important midfielder this season will be Bissouma who I think is going to be a monster for us. I hope you are right about Lo Celso, but he has it all to prove.

Lovely stuff Richi - he suits this system perfectly

Why would we spend large money on Toney when we have this guy?

The guy is a 9. The guy is definitely not a winger. Play him there and I bet you he'll thrive

IDK. It just seems more cohesive.
The sum parts were different against West ham but still better.
I don't know if the instructions are different. It just seems in both first halves we were quite reliant on individuals dribbling.
In both halves there have been good movement and third man running it just seems to be clicking better in the second half. 🤷‍♂️
