If we take out Stefan Bajcetic due to his fitness concerns, then it’s quite a balanced spread of minutes across the unit of players and with Thiago Alcantara still to add to the equation – it’s only going to get stronger.

It’s no surprise to see Dominik Szoboszlai at the top of the minutes played, with his performances and fitness being instantly recognisable for everyone.

The game against Tottenham is somewhat of an anomaly too as the manager wasn’t really handed the chance to rotate within the game, due to the two red cards we received.

Having Europa League and domestic cup games means all the players are getting time on the pitch to adapt to our style of play and it seems clear that Harvey Elliott is the man for these competitions so far.

It’ll be interesting to see how this develops throughout the season, as we may also see a change to who holds down the No.6 role full-time but one thing we certainly have is strength in depth.

It’s a refreshing insight into the options we have to hand and how good our business was in the summer.
