Archie Gray

I hate to say this, but if Romero is out for the season, and De Zerbi wants us to play out from the back, I think we might have to play Archie at CB if only to ensure we have some passing capability in our CBs. Danso is a better box-defender perhaps, but he is not a passer at all, thus we will just be going sideways all the time.
Archie at CB would at least allow us passing from that area, plus he has experience of the role.
We are going to have to get creative.

Side for Brighton???

Richy


Richy is not ideal as a lone striker but he offers me than Solanke right now who is bang out of form. Muani is not at it. Gallagher isn't either. Spence would at least offer some speed and presence wide. Xavi has to play. I might consider Palhinha over Bergy to start...
 
Gray has to continue in midfield, for me. If there is a concern about Danso's passing ability (and I think Steff overstates that, personally), then let Gray come a bit deeper to collect from him if need be.
 
Gray is too conservative but with good reason - romero is ill disciplined and richy tracks back but offers no protection.
sort these two positions our and Gray will be unshackled to create
