The problem you need balance in your team. Hazard is a monster but you need a winger across him that can defend, we also had Fabregas who is awful at defending but magical creator hence we have Oscar who was a workhorse with decent ability between the lines.

I think defensive organization is not really our main problem it is more on our pressing. It looks very unorganized, with good pressing your backline won't get exposed as much because either you will get the ball or they need to clear the ball more. With bad one, it is a disaster waiting to happen.

That is a lot to ask. Hazard level is the best player in the league.

Nah pulisic should be fine, you want player that run behind. He can let player like Barkley, Pedro and Willian to be on the ball more

Conte fix our defensive problem by playing two destroyer in front of 3 CB. I don't think we will do that. But we need to fix our defense, Salzburg attacker had tons of touches in our penalty box. But honestly I want to see us playing a more normal game. It was a game between two unorganized high pressing team. Usually team with better player always win.

I was concerned when Lamp said that we want to play faster. Our transition defense was quite bad last season but we play slow possession football that limit transition opportunities to both side. Conte solved it by playing 5 defender protected by 2 destroyer. Lamps still has tons of homework to do with this team.

I am more concerned with their approach. We need a game against team who play 9 man behind the ball

It is a bit worrying. Our pressing also need work, it only looks good when we won the ball otherwise it was a nightmare. The only good thing is Kante is not playing. Offensively, hopefully like you said gladbach play a more conservative defense so we can test our offense against a deeper backline

This is all good and fun but Salzburg need to stop with this high pressing so that we can try playing against 9 men behind the ball

I am not sure that due solely to Sarri or the fact we have kova and jorgi in midfield.

Our transition looks absolutely brilliant. Barkley drop deep, Pedro play as no 10 is fantastic combination. Pulisic is absolutely destroying them with his run behind but Salzburg is playing a high pressing game against a better team in us. It is a bit suicidal. Defensively, I thought our midfield get passed too easily which worrying but should be much better with kante back

Offensively I can see Barkley play there, maybe not mount, ruben is a maybe but I don't think so.

I think that is the way lamp want to play. The two winger sit narrow most of the time. It has been the case since first pre season.

My concern is midfield. Ruben won't be back for a while. Anything that we can get from him this season is bonus. We need to wait on kante. Otherwise like today, we don't have any cm on the bench at all. That is worrying

Not sure what do you mean by this?

If Ole want to play diamond then Dybala and Bruno make sense, although i am not a fan of that formation. But why move Lukaku if you want to play diamond. Whenever Lukaku play as right forward/wing he looks quite good. Don't get me wrong AWB is better than dalot right now especially defensively, dalot is better offensively but my point is having two young rb mean one of them will not develop.

I can see arsenal playing similar style to pool. Laca drop deep and let the winger attack the space behind him. I don't think emery fancy Ozil. But against a weak team he can switch to 4231 bring Ozil in as no 10. It is similar to pool, shaqiri as RW and salah as striker.

I am confused with united. With Dybala you are kinda forced to play 4231 with pogba as double pivot. What is the point of Bruno Fernandes then. You have dalot, what is the point of signing AWB. For me United case is quite simple get a very good CB, if you think Fred is not the cm that you need then get another cm that can play both end. Sign a lb because Luke shaw is too injury prone. If Ole does not fancy Lukaku then sell him and sign a RW. Then you probably will be in top 4. For us, I will wait till September to give any expectation to our team. Our pressing will be much2 better than last season. Hopefully that will help us create more goal scoring opportunity. Our goals output has been quite poor for the last two seasons, that with imo the best player in epl in our lineup.

They will probably play 433 Auba laca pepe Torreira/guendouzi ceballos Granit

It is weird. I understand if dalot is 24/25 and you can see that he is just a rotation level player, but Dalot is 20.

That makes tons of sense

But united case is weird. I am not entirely sure about their signing policy I thought they signed Daniel James to play as RW but I saw their pre season and he play as lw. AWB will solidify their rb but it just mean dalot can say goodbye to his career. I thought they will sign a cm and a CB. But they haven't sign neither

I am surprised that United hasn't made any more move after such a disaster season. Losing Herrera is a big blow. I freaking hate Herrera. He is a diver and cheater but he is discipline tacticallly and work really hard and has very good knack on tactical fouling. That is how you compensate Pogba lack of discipline, play two good defensive cm behind him and let him do his thing

Interesting signing. Kean Bernard - Sigurdson- richarlison Can be really2 good. But losing Gueye is a big blow, he is like Everton's kante
