Depends on who McKenna deems suitable for each match. |  |

Morsy - Phillips
Cajuste comes on around the hour mark.
Or some combination of the above, tweaked to suit the opposition. |  |

This feels like the obvious answer to me. There may be some games where we play all three. Possibly depends a bit on who settles in quicker out of Phillips and Cajuste.
Do we have a vice-captain if Morsy is told to go all guns blazing for 65 minutes with the exception that he will be regularly subbed off at that time? |  | | |

Cajuste to begin with but that might change. Morsy is incredible for us, but ultimately we can’t let sentimentality / loyalty risk our place in the division if there’s better players sat on the bench. That’s the harsh reality of football.
Wonder who our vice captain(s) are…. Chaplin and Wolf? |  | | |

We have so many leaders on the pitch, the armband could go to almost anybody.
Morsy's role as Club Captain is more important, setting the tone and the standards, being the link between Manager and players. | |

Another thought… have we signed Phillips to play CB as one of three who will step out with the ball? (Played there in pre season for city), then Morsy and Cajuste in midfield | | | |

Wouldn’t be a surprise to see 3 in there at points in the season. On yesterdays evidence we may need to change things early to keep to energy in midfield |  |

His interview when he joined suggested to me he wasn’t exactly thrilled to be playing CB for Man City in pre-season, I don’t think we’d sign a player of his calibre to not play him in his best position.
I think ultimately it will be Phillips x Cajuste - no way we’re taking someone on loan with a c.£12m obligation to buy if we stay up to not be a starter.
I’m sure they’ll both have to earn their place though. |  |

I agree. I think we are more likely to go 4-3-2-1 against the better teams once everyone is available. Cajuste can play a more advanced Midfield roll if required. When we play 4-2-3-1 then who ever is playing the best will start. McKenna will judge if Morsy can play the whole season at the higher tempo. I guess he will, but for McKenna to decide. |  |

Assuming Cajuste has signed, it’s not been confirmed yet by the club as far as I’m aware, then I think a midfield two of him and Phillips will offer more at this level. |  | | |

Phillips had also played in defence I believe! |  |

McKenna likes a bespoke midfield tailored for the opposition.
Nice problem to have.
Now let's get another no. 9. | | | |

Phil ruled that one out, purely seen as a DM here. | |

Not announced, but he’s all done.
Assume it’ll be formally announced tomorrow. | |

It's an awful lot of work for any two in midfield to be honest and I suspect we will see a three in there more frequently to avoid being overrun or simply played around. That’s what happened yesterday in the second half and it was too much for Morsy and Luongo / Taylor to cope with. The result being, our defence was exposed to more precise and quick passing in behind on several occasions. |  |

How you doing Fella. Trust all is going ok? | |

Having 3 will allow us to be a bit more pressing as we can risk the 5 yellow card suspension. | | | |

Would have thought Morsy and Phillips too much alike, both tough tackling holding midfielders. Whilst neither Phillips or Cajuste are permanent signings it must be in McKenna mind that both Morsy and perhaps to a greater extent Loungo will both need replacing within the next couple of seasons especially should we remain in the Prem. | | | |

Chappers is second el capitano. Though if he goes off as well, whose third. Or szmodics replaces chappers. I see Phillips and Jen's as midfield duo over time as younger to mass and morsy. |  |

I can see us playing three in the middle when we play top 8 teams. |  |
