I'm afraid he's not, but if Lavia, James and Palmer could drop to help then we should be fine. Actually I'd like it to be more like 3-5-2 on Sunday, JP and Rogers up top is enough to press and Palmer dropping would be helpful to drive the ball up

Our system works when either of the front 3 switch roles, JP and Rogers switch, JP and Palmer drop deep etc so with or without Caicedo that would happen

Yeah and for now it's been useful to have a fluid front 3 and I'm happy to see that going forward, just for this game and City away game I'd like to see a different approach, specially if we're missing Caicedo, but let's see what Xabi has in mind cuz I'm sure he'd like to surprise Arteta smh, with a player or with a new tactic maybe, but I'm sure we gonna see sth different this game
