In theory - yes. That's a really excellent group of attacking players that should be the envy of most clubs in the world.I feel like our options for attacking players is the strongest it's ever been.
Lo Celso / Ndombele
Son / Moura
Bergwijn / Dele
Kane
I mean it doesn't get much better than that for a club of our stature in terms of attacking options, just the rest of the areas in the team are not stacked in a similar fashion.
I think the problem is balance. As we don't have a set system, a balanced midfield, or good attacking fullbacks, we're almost always having to compromise in some way.
- How do you fit Lo Celso and Ndombele into the same team while still having defensive balance?
- What is Alli's best position, and if we play him there who misses out?
- If we play Lo Celso in CM and/or leave out Ndombele (both of which we have done a lot) the team still seriously lacks the incision and creativity provided by an Eriksen-type player and we give the ball away a lot in forward areas.
In short: the talent is there but I still think we're struggling to fit all of the pieces together and seriously need a proper DM and better fullbacks in order to get the best out of it.
