I've made a similar post on a different site but interested to know whether anyone else thinks we should try a 4-3-3? I'll explain why in section starting with the forwards...
forwards:
I think a front three of son-kane-lamela/whoever is fit enough, could work, son too me is a player who likes one on ones and as the left winger he's going to be asked to do that constantly, he's also very productive on the ball and knows how to get the ball into the final third, and it would allow kane to drop deep simarlarly to what he does for the england side
on the right wing i'd prefer lamela for now because I do think he's a productive player and can help all over that side offensively and defensively but I do think it's a position people should start looking at, we really have no quality there. I'd also really like to see sessengon tried there eventually
midfield:
I've said before but I do think a midfield 3 would suit all of our midfielders. currently we have no real 6 to play cdm but I do think sissoko if asked to just sit back defend, get the ball to the other midfielders, and protect the back four would do very well there. I think he could be a ball winner for us but Im worried about whether he's too clumsy
as the two midfielder in front of him I think all our options are perfect fits, ndomble wouldn'tn be asked to do as much as he's aksed now in a pivot, which i think would let him get forward and be more creative for the team. Winks has been struggling in the pivot all season and I think it's down to him being asked to do more than he can do. Take away alot of his defensive responsibilities by having him next to two more people I think he could do very very well. finally GLC would absolutely do well as a number 8, he reminds me alot of KDB and I do think he could provide an offensive threat from deep
defence:
i think a back four of davies - sanchez - foyth/dier/toby - aurier/foyth is what we should be using this season anyway, but I think having the fullbacks not being asked to provide the width all the time would allow our defence to stick to defending. at this point we don't have the defenders to build from the back so I think we need to focus on actual defending
let me know what you think
