Contes options

Cuad has gone on a permanent deal to Juve. Could possibly recall either Baba or Kenedy or go into January market, whereas Aina is a LB not a wingback.

Aina s a right back, by trade all throughout academy, and an attacking one so given opportunity to play rwb then I don't think he d disappoint,

It's when one of our center backs gets injured, it's when we might struggle out loud, confident in cover for kante if needed, chalobah has been great,

True that we don't have a natural replacement to Alonso and we have two excellent candidates to do that on loan in Kennedy and Baba. Dunno where Conte wants to play Willian in this (wing back or forward) but if Alonso was out Willian may have to go there.

For Moses Willian is again an option. I really like Aina and think he could do a job there, so comfy on the ball and an athlete. I wouldn't really wanna see Azpi there. On left or right his strength is in defence and in a 3 at back formation he's better at CB for me

It's a squad not equipped to play 3-4-3, without the signings of Alonso & Luiz it would've been impossible, but it's worth sticking with and building on to go into next season if it's the formation Conte is most comfortable using.

I know the idea of playing the long game doesn't really apply with Abramovich, but I'd persist with this formation even if it forces us to pick youth players when cover is required. Going from a 3-4-3 to any 4 and the back formation on the whims of an injury/suspension, etc... will destabilize the squad. Stick with it, make a few choice signings in January, July & August and be ready to go into next season with a squad of players fully versed in it.

The 4-2-3-1's time is fading out. Time to get ahead of the game and push something different, and among our best players the 3-4-3 only alienates Fabregas.
