“Interesting” – ESPN journalist notices new formation Rosenior is trying with defender out of position

Key Highlights

• But out of possession it was very different. Josh Acheampong, Benoit Badiashile and Tosin made up the back 3.
• Ahead of them, Moises Caicedo and Andrey Santos formed a very solid block of two.
• Ahead of them, it was Facundo Buonanotte and (interestingly) Jorrel Hato making up the two. Then the front three had Marc Guiu leading the line, flanked by Jamie Gittens and Alejandro Garnacho.

• We can see how it would work – Sanchez; Fofana, Chalobah James; Caicedo, Santos; Cucurella, Enzo; Palmer, Delap, Neto. In other news…One person not in tonight’s squad is Tyrique George, who hasn’t actually been on the bench since October.
• We’re all expecting a January move – but where is the interest?
