This is one of those games where I wish we had signed some more immediate depth at left and right back.
I suppose it's set up for Davies and Naughton but I want to see Davies in the prem.
Reason being I think Mason, Bentaleb and Paulinho should be the front 3 attacking midfielders. Historically Townsend, Lennon, naughton and Rose have pretty much overseen buildup where midfielders scoring has been scarce in the prem. And that is what I see our Europa team as: Blooding for the prem tussle.
IMO Mason, Bentaleb and Paulinho playing as the 3 AMs will bring more out of Soldado should he be fit.
Don't get me wrong, Rose, Townsend, Naughton, Lennon and Soldado have more than enough to smash this opposition. But building for the future I would rather see Mason, Bentaleb and Paulinho play along with the new signings.
One of which can play at right back apparently (was it Stam or Fazio that played at right back?) If Fazio played there I'd rather him in defense than Naughton. And I want Dier as a CB, again looking forward because Walker is going to be the long term rightback IMO.

If Fazio never played right back, then just swap him for Dier.
