i feel like the swap from Tierney-AMN to Kola-Saka really damaged the effectiveness of our build up play.

you get why you tell AMN to come in and get involved with midfield. You get why we tell KT to get up and get himself involved offensively coming round the outside as he's a major threat.

But when you swap out those players- i don't know why we are asking kola and saka to do the same thing.

I think kola can do a serviceable job as LCB in a three- but he's not the threat in possession that Tierney is- so i wonder how having him in those positions helps us.

Also- Saka is a threat outside- in the way that AMN isnt, and even more so than Kola- so asking him to come in and get involved in the midfield interplay, in order to allow kola to come up the outside, doesn't get out of him what it does out of AMN.

I feel like if kola and saka had more traditional wide CB and wing back roles it might have been better for both of them...
