Can't wrap my brain around the Eriksen - Alli - Lamela at all. I could at least understand the Eriksen - Dembele - Lamela despite disagreeing with it, but this AM3 just makes no sense to me, despite being all players I favor.
Alli is actaully one of best attacking options - as much for what he does off the ball as it is what he does on the ball. He makes some fantastic runs, and has the right "attacking" mentality you want to see in an AM3 role.

Why does Poch have a problem with Bentaleb?
My hunch is that Bents might be a bit resistant to toning it down with the flashness and is giving the ball away in training.

OR maybe poch sensed the billy-bog-bollocks air Nabil was adopting and is exorcising it from him.

I actually think it's good for him.

Ben TAAAAAA Leb
It's not Benteleb

Can people start saying Bentaleb's name properly from now on.

What I don't get is if Poch has a problem with Bentaleb, why would he have him over Ryan in the matchday squad?

Genuinely confusing.
Mason has always had trouble recovering from injuries, resulting in minor niggles within the first few weeks of his comeback.

Seems to me he probably has got a minor niggle again, hope he doesn't have another yo-yo spell of injured and recovery again... (I am starting to fear for my adopted son...)

All true, but why does he have no pace on either side of him then to open up more lanes for him? Any if that is the reasoning for his inclusion, why must he be central over either of the other two? Like I said, I still can't wrap my head around the entirety of the three.
