Plus moving to a 3 5 2 bringing on the right ball controlling cm if we are 1 or 2 goals up but on the back foot would be so useful to have.
This is a great point. Something I think Conte is thinking about for next season and something I actually think he’d be implementing now if Skipp was fit. I don’t think he trusts Winks enough to do this. I can see next season with the likes of Skipp and new possession CM there on the bench, that Conte will solidify the midfield to see out games.
It’s why, although a strictly possession CM might not seem an obvious fit for the 343 now, having one would provide piece of the squad puzzle. It’s the reason also I’m warming to the idea of Tielemans, as although in don’t think he’d work in the 343, I can see him as a very useful player if/when we change to 352 either from the start or more likely mid second half to see games out.
