I think the problem lies slightly with the players and also their positions...
If it was up to me, I would have Eriksen drop back into that midfield pair alongside Bentaleb, I think that is the best shot we have at replicating the Modric/Parker partnership, Eriksen is quick with great vision, dribbling ability and can pick out a pass with ease, whilst Bentaleb can be the engine to track the ball down...
I have been a little more impressed with Townsend in recent weeks, he offers us something different from Chadli and Lamela as he has real pace, I would like to see AT play a few games out at LM more, see if we can get some crosses in...
Think we should then look to buy a second rapid winger such as J-PB, Depay or Kono, who can all cross, shoot and dribble at pace, BUT ALSO have the ability to switch sides and come inside to shoot...
Kane I feel could potentially drop in off the striker as his shooting from distance has improved tenfold, as well as arriving at the edge of the box to finish into the corners.
I then think a young quick striker is required in front of Kane to keep pace with breaking wingers and to have the option to play a through ball between the CB's where the striker will leave them for dead. Someone like Ings, Berahino (maybe) or Zaza perhaps. This striker can then also hold up the play and wait for HK to arrive on the edge of the box...
In conclusion...
Bentaleb/Stambo Eriksen/Mason
Kono/JPB Chadli/Kane Lamela/AT
Depay
Ings/Bera/Zaza
I think this is best shot of recreating that fast, flowing, counter-attacking football that we enjoye under Harry
