Back 4 ??

With sides turning last season's attacking back 5 into a defensive back 5 under serious pressure just by pressing high up the field I think we need to look at going to a back 4. Without Alonso and Moses bombing forward we're seriously lacking attacking threats and it's showing with our lack of goals. By going to a back 4 it gives us the opportunity to go 4-2-3-1 and actually look like scoring a goal. Hazard can be allowed a free role in the middle to get the best out of him plus wide men.

Personally I'd go with a back 4 as follows:

Alonso - Christensen - Azpilicueta - Rudiger

When we're on the offensive it would allow Alonso or Azpi to push forward and we could go back to a back 3.

Rudiger has played as a RB for Roma many times.

I'd worry with Alonso at LB, he's so slow it's unbelievable.

Courtois
Azpi Christensen Rudiger Emerson
Kante Alonso
Willian Hazard Pedro
Giroud

Back 4 to my mind can only work with:
Azpi, Christensen, Rudiger, Palmieri.

Alonso is a no no as a fullback, can barely defend as a wingback in a back 5 as it is.

Have we bought yet another injured player in Emerson?

Courtois
Azpi Christensen Rudiger Emerson
Luiz
Kante Fabregas
Willian Giroud Hazard

Would be sweet.

I'd prefer this line up
Courtois
Azpilicuetta, Christiansen, Rudiger
Moses, Kante, Ampadu, Alonso
Hazard
Giroud, Morata

Emerson is not injured, just not match-fit.

Been sitting on Roma's bench since beginning of November, prior to move.
