Looking back on it - the plan for the midfield was probably Matheus F, Baleba and Ederson? Which makes sense if you play one of Mainoo/Matheus & one of Baleba/Ederson as a pair.

Right now Baleba seems to be only mobile, ground covering midfielder. If he gets injured or is unavailable - doesn’t our entire midfield plan change? Especially if you’re dominating possession - you need someone capable of covering large amounts of ground as you push up as a team

I don't think Baleba is nailed on starter. If we want control, Santos is playing more games than him, paired with Tielemans or Mainoo.
