Sandro Tonali Official

The issue could be solved by playing Tonali and Fernandes both as #8 either side of Bentancur. But then you're accommodating him at the expense of the other two.
Be interesting to see the heat maps as I thought it looked much like Bentancur being the deeper '4' position effectively in a single pivot yesterday.

But maybe that was because we had a lot of possession and he just held back more as a safety net, and others could move forward?
 
That's a very fair point/perspective.
I know one thing; today we did not need both Tonali and Bentancur and we also should not be playing Fernandes as a 10 IMO.
It’s as simple as looking at the players who have played and Tonali has been inferior so far IMO to bother Bentacur and Fernandes
That’s fine as he is a quality player and will play many minutes for us
I cannot work out how the manager things the combination of all 3 is going to be creative enough at the moment
