The massive influence appears to be Eriksen.
Like Bro Imom pointed out, the linkage from defence to Bruno.
Bruno will do the killer pass once he gets the ball from Eriksen. Which is what I think Bruno excels in. That killer short pass.
I was trying to figure out what is the difference between Eriksen and Bruno.
Why both of them can co-exist.
With the forward portion settled, McTom can do what he was tasked.
Hatchet man in midfield and providing cover for the CB.
Probably this is what he excel in.
Lest not forget, he knows in case he fail to cut off the attack in midfield, Martinez will be behind him.
Probably ETH also was thinking of putting McTom / Eriksen in as a stop gap before Casemiro arrival. But I think ETH was overwhelmed at the success of that trident. Now he appears to have a headache....
End up Casemiro is sitting on the bench. But do remember McTom is rash and will tend to collect cards. So, Casemiro is still needed.
