Honestly think a change in formation is needed. 442 with Havertz and Werner the forwards. Puli and Ziyech on the right.

Havertz as a CM doesn't work is spot on. Limits him too much. Doesn't bring the best out of him, in fact, it brings the worst. If Frank doesn't want to play with #10, then only RW or CF for him.

Timo needs to play through the middle for sure but that depends on the fitness of Pulisic and Ziyech. Kai is interesting man, I feel he needs to touch the ball more in high positions but he's not going to do that when Ziyech is the creative hub of the side. I trust Lampard and the staff to get the best out of him eventually but I wouldn't expect anything special until January/February when he's fully fit and his usual second half of season rise kicks in

Frank needs to think and see how we can accommodate. They’re great players and I still believe we haven’t seen what they’re capable of yet. I don’t know what you guys think but I think moving Ziyech in the midfield and Havertzon the side might work. Or Maybe we should try to ease them in like we did with Pulisic last season...
