I still think our best bet would be:
-----------------Capoue/Sandro-------------------
------------Paulinho----------Dembele-------------
--Lamela---------------------------- -----Eriksen--
---------------------Soldado--------------------
We just need to work out how to use Paulinho and Dembele properly.
That looks very strong to me too. I would like to see Eriksen in addition to Lamela and Chadli personally, but adding Lamela and Eriksen for Townsend and Chadli in the team that played against Swansea seems impressive for sure.
I don't think we know that for certain by any means BY.
1. He played No. 10 at River Plate, and since he obviously had rather serious competition for that position at Roma, he played on the right. If anything the evidence suggests it was that move to the right that was unnatural to him.
2. He's a left footed player, so saying the right is his natural position doesn't seem intuitively correct. Left or central are more natural for a lefty....lefties playing on the right, or vica versa, is a somewhat new phenomenon in football.
Just out of curiosity, what evidence would that be?
A somewhat new phenomenon, but for players at Lamela's age it's very common. I think he suits playing on the right a lot better than he does on the left. If we play a 4-3-3 "without a no.10" it seems to me very likely that his most natural position would be on the right.
