Alli is going to be good.

I still am not sure what formation we are playing. Seems a sort of 3331 (rose walker wing backs) dier dropping from midfield to defence. Bentaleb bossing midfield.

To me the 4-2-3-1 has morphed into a 4-3-2-1. As Dier wants to sit centrally and it opens up even more space for Dembele he's just primarily central now covering that area centre-right.

It's only preseason of course but same old signs at right back when we defend - always Walker is out of position and there is a man left over with yards of space

He has the pace to recover much of the time - but he has no positional sense and no ability to read the play or anticipate the danger, He always relies on his speed enabling him to defend re-actively and that will never cut it at the highest level

Walker's an awful defender. Always has been. He's not too bad in straight 1on1 situations, but in terms of being part of a defensive unit he's really very bad indeed.
