I think it's blatantly obvious that we are currently top-heavy. We have plenty of wingers, strikers (including too many number 10's), yet on our opening game of the season we had two academy players in our starting 11 in defensive positions. It's plain to see that we need a centre back, left back/wing back and a defensive midfielder. The only reason why we are struggling to go forward is because we can't build possession from the back, or defend.

Hence why I don't think we need defenders, we need to replace Young and Valencia as full backs, strikers are only heavy due to 3 reserves coming through, out of the attacking players, Zaha & Lingard won't expect to be ever present and I'd replace Anderson as well.
