... In the meantime Unai needs to find a way to get him scoring whilst we keep winning. For me that means Malen on the right, Rogers on the left and Watkins in the middle. If we stick with a double pivot of Bouba and Youri (plus Onana and Bogarde as cover) that leaves either SJM or Buendia (and possibly Youri) fighting for the 10 role.
On paper it may look fine but in practice I don't see many crosses coming in from the right. If only Matty Cash could cross a ball we'd be sorted.
McGinn / Buendia on the left and Rogers at #10, and I'd agree with you.
You're right that we've got to find a way of exploiting his strengths, whilst he's still with us and the best current option upfront. I honestly cannot see him being sold in January.
I do wonder when Wilson is going to be given some gametime for the first team ...
As ever, the killer question is: who could replace Watkins and is available and affordable?
