Judging by the youtube clips i watched before he came, Veretout looked liked he was an attacking midfielder for his old club. I think he'd look a bit better if he was given more of a slightly free role.
To me it seems Garde is playing him in that role , certainly against Southampton he tried to go beyond Gestede for flick on's
I can't say i've noticed him playing any further forward to be honest. Now I've said that, he'll score on Saturday.
Sherwood likened Ilori to Can and said he could play holding midfield. Perhaps he's worth a go in there given Sanchez and Westwood are not up to it. We definitely need to try a few new things, that could be one, Richards at right back another and Kozak up top with Adama wide possibly. Re-integrating at least 1 of Gil/Grealish into the team too. There are options there, if we keep seeing Gabby, Gestede, Sinclair, Westwood, Sanchez etc we won't improve imo. We might not by making a few changes but the little promise shown by some of those other players suggests it's at least worth trying. Maybe even give Lydon a go, Gardner if fit, Crespo, heck even Bunn. I'd definitely shuffle the pack and then we'll at least have no regrets.
