Eriksen, Sissoko, Lamela, Son, Delle, Winks, Dembele.

Sure, we have little to offer in midfield attackers.

odd that Dan and others don't realize that Davies is the obvious replacement in a 3CD if Jan is suspended (as long as Rose is back of course)

Also a bit of a manufactured problem the way he describes midfield and AM.
1. Winks is increasingly going to sub in for Dembele.
2. More often than not it will be Alli and Christian with Kane so the cover comes from Sonny and Lamela as well as Sissoko, Edwards etc.

This.

Likely to increasingly play 3 at the back, with 2 behind Kane

So Dele, Eriksen, Son, Lamela, GKN and Sissoko are competing for 2 starting spots.

3 spots if we play 4 at the back.

So I completely disagree with the article.

Right now Lamela is injured and Son hasn't found last season's form just yet. If Nkoudou or dare I say it, even Sissoko, could start to make a contribution then we're not badly off. Squad looks better post transfer window
