Assuming that Mari and Chambers not ready for first team yet. Luiz offering cute balls over and through for Auba, natural cross field R-L pass. This is the most creative player you have with passing range, could support the defence better than what normally happens in front of them. Bellerin doing what he does well - driving with the ball, hence creating space for Auba and co. to run into as he drags defenders towards him. I'd instruct him to drive and lay the ball off if a pass is on. If not, he should shoot on goal. Target 10-13 goals, 8-10 assists per season. We know this brother cannot play RB good - so this might at least play to his strengths, and the burden of defence would be supported by the other two midfield players. Elneny sitting - never ahead of the ball. Saka and Cedric playing old-fashioned one and a half. So when one is forward the other tucks in and stays back, making a three man defence, and vice versa. Laca where he is to get those tap-ins that Sterling gets at city when the wing-back (Saka) cuts the ball to the back post in the type of passing phase Mikel wants to create. Balagun to create a spark like Lee Judges said - a fresh impetus for the team. I'd want Luiz and Gabriel in CD's tbh, but at the moment the midfield is so bereft that I feel Luiz should play there. Saka we know can play WB, so this makes sense because I want Tierney's work ethic in the heart of the defence.
