Two defensive midfielders in central midfield. Sideways passing. Number 9 who can't score..
Sounds familiar.
But it would create more fluidity. I doubt you'll see Wanyama/Dier when Dembele is back. It's not our best look.Because the idea is to give defensive solidity in the middle of the park, allowing the other players freedom to get forward.
Taking off a DM doesn't automatically make you a better attacking force.
Coming off the bench should help...Alli has got to wake himself up this season.
He feeds on scraps. he spends most of the match on his own trying to close down opposition defenders.Being a Sunderland or Crystal Palace player is hardly good for your development though is it.
