I think we're way too slow getting going from the back and we struggle to hit any sort of rhythme. Much as I love Romero, he needs to up the pace when we have the ball. I assume we'll have 3 in midfield, in which case I think they need to get closer together in order to ping the ball around quicker. I'd like to see Skipp at 6 with the other 2 pressing and chasing. Dier often resorts to long balls from the back when the players in front aren't offering options, and more often than not that just means coughing up possession. I'd definitely play Lenglet in this one since he's the best passing CB by a distance.
