How do we fit Kun in this team?

You only have to see the cameo appearance against Newcastle to see how he would fit in. He improved our attack no end in a short spell where he was involved in four good chances in 15minutes.

Look at the Marseille cameo - he popped up to feed off a goalkeeper mistake and score with his first touch.

His one touch play in and around the box is only bettered by a few in world football. There’s rarely any falling over his own feet or running the ball into defenders legs like you get from some of our other players (on a regular basis, even when they’re supposedly having a good game). Everything is much cleaner and precise when he’s up front for us, with better finishing than anyone else in the league.

I see the argument for the cameo role, and that makes most sense to me.

And I suppose rotation should be key, with the right blend for each occasion. The bursting into the box from Gundogan and Foden et al won’t work quite as well with Kun up-front, and I definitely don’t buy the idea that Kun will play deeper than he used to or that he has been trained to play that role now, but I can see there will be a space for him if it’s either a system with him or this system, but I can’t see both.
We can’t have Kev, Gundo, Phil bursting into the box, Kun up-front and Rodri back on his own to mop up!
Rotations I can see though.

A fully fit Mendy is still our most system orientated fullback.

Only if you consider his best ever form for which you have to look back 3 years. I’d have Cancelo ahead of him with Walker on the right. I’d also put Zinchenko ahead of him.
The difficult choice is up front trying to fit KDB, Bernardo, Gundogan, Foden and Sterling into four places assuming Aguero is in the team.

Mendy? That’s amazing even for you haha.

He’ll never ever come close to being our first choice full back ever again.
