It's almost like they rolled out this formation yesterday.
Giroud
Werner Pulisic
Mount Havertz
Kante
Chilwell - Silva - Zouma - James
So asking a lot of Kante to do all the dirty work and distribution in the middle of the pitch. Especially since Silva isn't what he once was, and Zouma isn't exactly a distributor.

I think they should sit Pulisic back some. Similar to DVB at United, he's got the skill/vision, to perform as a holder, but there will be growing pains.
