Postecoglou is considering adjustments in player positions to compensate for the absence of three key midfielders. While he dismissed a complete overhaul of the team's formation, he mentioned forming creative solutions to enhance performance. Candidates for playing in advanced roles include Pape Matar Sarr, Heung-min Son, and Wilson Odobert. He emphasized the need to adapt within the overall team structure, potentially trying out new setups during the upcoming Villa match to determine the best course ahead. Postecoglou suggests minor adjustments rather than radical shifts as they approach upcoming matches.
"We've always had to try to find creative ways to cover the absences we've had and we'll find a way to do that again," Postecoglou said.
"I doubt you'd do a serious departure from what we have been doing in terms of our overall structure but at the same time you have to find solutions within the context of what we have available to give us the best chance of success."
