Personally I think Werner could do a better job at ST than most probably think. He has similar characteristics to Ange's typical system striker. I think if he has less to think about he will finish in the box. However, I agree that I really liked Sonny there for his finishing as well with pace around him. I would love to see those two be fluid/interchanging throughout. Hope we come out ready to run, with the 2 week break I think the least we could ask for is just consistent pressing since we do have some fresh legs on the bench.

Son back up top so if Richy is missing 2/3 weeks.

Thankfully porro is only a week away.

Sucks for Richarlison, but would assume this forces Son into the middle which might end up being the better option any way?

So play him out of position when he's currently trying to get back up and speed in his favoured position.
I wouldn't play Bentancur at all but if you weigh it up, his defending is better than Emerson's ability to play football

rb in this system is basically midfield anyway, especially against a palace side who are likely to sit back.

i'm sure bentancur himself would rather play rb than not at all.

With richi out, it would be great to maybe get Lankshear on the bench.
Probably will have Scarlett on the bench who's a bit more senior. But if there's space for another striker on the bench then sure.

Reckon both will miss out, but if one makes it, I agree it is more likely to be Scarlett.

Think Sarr is a better fit for RB and gives us a bit more creatively with bentancur in the 8 role

He'd also have a lot more ground to cover playing RB in this system as he's still a RB when we are out of possession of the ball. He's currently struggling to cover the ground in his favoured position.

U21 team v Everton for tomorrow will be announced about 12 noon so will get an hours advance warning on whether there is any chance of Scarlett/Lankshear being on bench for 1st team.

For right back position Ange has always trusted Emerson , why would he suddenly experiment tomorrow.
