Personally I see Wharton and Gravenberch being similar. They are both comfortable receiving the ball in deep, tight spaces and progressing upfield 30 yards with no bother but neither have shown the ability to press high until the pitch like Macca or Szoboslai.
I think this is our last season with Salah, Allison, MacAllister, Gakpo and Konate.
And the transition will still be happening at the start of next season and I still think our evolution to a 4-2-2-2 is happening.
