At a guess, because we could cover the left wing with JBL and WO has the ability to find shooting opportunities around the box.
Whether it's worked or not??

Re: Chelsea v Everton
I would say our defence isn’t world class, but we still have some elite players in that back line. Stones, Walker (world class in my opinion). Then Maguire, Chillwell, Shaw, Guehi, Lewis, Tomori are all top players. Depending on how we set up we could blow opposition teams away this summer. Maybe s...

This has led me to rewatching a few times (aware I'm overanalysing this now).

I don't think I am. The quotes from both Mcguiness and Cathro both imply the use of studs as the first touch to give then a slight advantage in being able to play both ways.

Yes, 100% effort, but positioning and decision making aren't good enough. We'd sell him at a loss.

Re: So do you drop Muric after two massive costly howlers?
The last two goals we have conceded are down to Muric's lack of concentration, nothing else.
For all the weak performances we've seen from Trafford I really don't think he'd have messed up as Muric has in these last 2 games

Re: Striker, Left Back, Defensive Midfielder
I think it would be good to take Trafford out of the firing line. I also think it would help his development.
Muric would start as No1.
Cooper is excellent, and would provide a serious challenge to Muric.
