When the starting lineup against Valencia was announced, there was a bit of confusion.
Is Ronald Koeman going for a 4-4-2 with Ansu Fati and Memphis Depay leading the frontline?
Surely if Sergi Roberto and Segino Dest are both playing, it means the Spaniard will feature as an additional center midfielder?
Koeman wouldn’t start Dest as a forward would he?
Indeed he did, and it was a creative decision that paid off.
With the long list of injuries, the big puzzle this season has been figuring out how to get the most out of the forwards.
