AFC Bournemouth v Manchester City

When Lerma or Billing have the ball in midfield who’s going to be the link man ?
Josh or Fraser need to do it otherwise we will see the ball just coming back the other way ...

Same as we’ve always done pretty much, it goes out wide. I don’t really understand the sudden concern with Lerma and Billing it’s no different to Surman/Gosling Surman/Arter only they’re better.
 
To be fair, on paper it looks like a very ambitious and positive 4-3-3.
Of course, given that the central midfielder is really a CB, we all know it can instantly morph into 5 at the back. But putting Ake in midfield, along with Lerma and Billing, could create a midfield fortress that City will have a hard time playing through.
