I've been wondering if we might look at a back 3 this season

  Konsa, Mings,Torres

with Garcia/Cash and Maatsen/Digne as attacking backs.

Hopefully, the best way to end the Mings v Torres debate is to play both of them.

I forgot how high up the pitch Moreno likes to get.

We're having a ton of possession, so its not surprising, I guess.

It’s not 3 at the back. Garcia is playing right wing. Bogarde at right back.

Garcia right wing sounds nearly as mad as five at the back. We need wingers.

it's effectively Torres, Mings and Bogarde at the back with Garcia and Moreno as WB

Every attack has broken down with him.

We look very blunt up front.

It’s exactly how we play when Konsa plays right back, rather than 3 CBs with wing backs.
