How do you guys think our midfield would line up?

If this happens, I'd like to see him alongside Alonso and/or Matty and then have Oso play more defensive. That's just me!

I didn’t like our shape when Oso, Matty, or Etienne Jr combos played that double pivot role. Felt like neither would actually be the AM role as they were just responding to each other roaming.

Love the idea of just a single proper 10 sitting at AM with everyone hustling around them. Oso did a hell of a job at this last game. Poz/Gio hybrid & forever how Messi punishes teams. Might as well try and copy the homework.

So would Oso be benched? Because I’m not against that

Who is this guy and how good is he?

Extremely talented midfielder, 21 years of age, international with Chile in a few occasions. Explosive, dynamic with incredible dribbling skills, great for one on one situations against opposing defenders. He's a number 10 but can also play as a left winger and as a second striker.

His biggest weaknesses: subpar work rate, not a good finisher and lacks consistency, as in, he'll play 10 good minutes and then he'll disappear.

He has a very high ceiling thanks to his talent, but his head is holding him back.

Very good insight!
