Part of the problem is that after losing Gundo and Mahrez, and Grealish and Stones being out a lot, plus Rodri's suspensions, we're lacking control. Kovacic and Nunes just aren't up to speed, which isn't a surprise, given all the chopping and changing we've had to do with injuries.HaalandPep probably need to try something like that until he gets KDB back. Finding the right CB combination will be key. Gvardiol was a big investment, so he needs to play. Moving him to CB and playing Aké at LB could be worth trying.
Doku---------B.Silva---------Foden
Rodri------Stones
Aké-------Gvardiol----R.Dias------Walker
Ederson
I suspect that formation would be more secure - but that's part of the problem - Stones and Rodri have only been able to start 3 games together all season.
