We’ve already got very good attacking players the problem is they’re one dimensional and easy to shutdown when we don’t have two flying wingbacks and a man mountain in central midfield.
Last season Kane, Eriksen and Alli were lethal and feared. This season they’re easy to nullify because Davies, Rose, Trippier and Aurier to an extent, lack the pace required to trouble the opposition and/or any end product. Without a committed and fit Rose and Walker’s pace we no longer strike fear into the opposition.
Son gives us something different but to get the best out of him we need to have a balanced line up. Stick with 352 but play Rose? (Sessegnon if and when signed) and Aurier, and stop reverting to 2 sloths or 1 quick and 1 slow.
I agree that we need another player in Son’s ilk but we’ve brought a lot of our troubles on ourselves this season by fannying about with our full backs, line up and formation every bloody week. If it ain’t broken why try and fix it?
