Which begs the question then, why is Simpson out in the wilderness and not suitable to play if Amartey is going to play the same way?

I had exactly that thought too. And I’m sure if Amartey proves to adequate Puel will have to deal with that question. The perfect scenario would be Amartey offers that same (or at least adequate) defensive cover and proves more attacking intent that Simpson to justify his inclusion (although still: it doesn’t really answer the question as to why Simpson wasn’t in the squad at all I. Some ways)

Amartey right back and I think he may play Ghezzal in front. It wouldn’t completely surprise me if Pereira played there and I don’t actually, see any issues with him playing RW if Amartey plays his usual way from the perspective of being less pro active with how he gets forward

I think Puel is going to try to get Pereira/Ricardo in anyway he can but on this occasion, I can see his thought process because he is excellent at dribbling with pace and having two right sided players, in theory, who can both play midfield and defence should, again ‘in theory’ make for a cohesive pairing.

If things aren’t working, I could see Iheanacho comingg off, Maddison moving across and Ghezzal being brought in on the left. Not that I don’t like Albrighton, Just have a feeling that Puel doesn’t
