I've come out against three at the back so many times but I don't mind this, mainly because its only 3 at the back in certain phases. I think in time Reece plays where Azpi is and then you get a whole lot more flexibility.
The weakness of it at the moment is that if you assume Mount doesn't play in the two, you have 5 or 6 players for two positions.
Pulisic, Ziyech, Cal, Mount, Werner anf Havertz all arguably belong in the 3/4s. Cal's been shifted to wing back (really right wing) to accommodate.

But that means currently Reece is on the bench.
Mase, Cal and Reece should rotation permitting be the first three names on the team sheet which leaves only one position left for the 3/4 positions to be shared by Pulisic, Ziyech and Havertz.

But because of the club politics, because of the short termism, the chancea are that 1 or 2 of those three will miss out because someone needs to justify a transfer outlay.
No academy player survives the spell Werner's having. Or Pulisic. They're being loaned out or discarded.
