Pep would be happy with a team full of superbly gifted midfield players, he obviously can't have that, and as he has learned in his first season, you need a decent defence, so a full back that can defend, and deliver crosses is what we need, I wouldn't worry about the full/wing back taking either Sané's or Sterling's space, all players should be able to interchange positions when required, this is what Pep wants, a fluid team that cannot be pinned down to a set formation

With Silva, Silva, KDB, Gundogan and Fernandinho, we do have a pretty good midfield. If we can get Fabinho I think we'll be fine. Then it's up to the players to step up and establish themselves as world beaters. Pep can't do that for them, he can only show them the way.

He's mentioned a fair bit about physicality & even 'heading' as a desired quality as well as the confidence VK gives when he's in our box, so perhaps he has quickly sussed it, as Mancini did.

Didn't he suggest mid way through the season that he had to rethink his ideas as other teams were happy to forgo possession and look to go aerially.
He mentioned it was impossible to control the game as he'd hoped due to the amount of time the ball is in the air.
