Ktf1 - I think the main problem with 4-2-3-1 last season was getting the ball to the 3. If we were to play that now, whoever played as part of the 2 would have to be able to both hold position and play good forward passes. My temptation in that situation would be to play Choudhury and Tielemans, accepting that Tielemans would play some misplaced passes to the likes of Maddison and Gray in a fluidish 3.

We need to work harder off the ball, those 3 would need to be looking far harder for space than we have previously otherwise it's just Puel ball with possession going sideways and backwards.

Surely Praet and Choudhury would be the 2?
Tielemans and Maddison would have to be dropped or played out of position though. And we’ve all seen just how successful Maddison playing wide has been.
Just can’t see 4-2-3-1 working. Nullifies all our best players.
