I think Bielsa just loves wingers and cant have too many.
Costa looks improved this season, probably a combination of 2nd season
of Bielsa and more space to operate in. I think he will probably stay in
the team for a bit and the swapping of Roberts and Rodrigo is just a
matter of it not working so a change being needed.
No.10 looks more of an issue - Bielsa doesnt want to play 2 strikers,
Roberts is struggling to deliver and we cant be sure how much Pablo will
play. Bielsa saw Harrison as the spare striker at one point, i suspect
he could manage No.10 as well - seems like a smart player.
It was interesting how Rodrigo and Bamford swapped places as the deeper
attacker vs City but generally there is a huge amount of space in
midfield when we lose possession of the ball and 4 players are on the
wings, so a more defensive minded player at 10 who can help Klich might
be the preference.
As to defenders - Llorente is apparently very right-footed and Bielsa
likes one left and one right footed CB - so i think Cooper is staying
put.

I think Rodrigo is looking better and better and could switch between a
No9 and a No10, giving cover for Pablo in the 10 position. Additionally
I feel like I heard a rumour somewhere that Bielsa is considering
Harrison as a possible 10, not quite sure I see it myself but IBWT!

I think you might be right. At the moment he's playing Roberts for 45
mins, then Rodrigo for 45 mins. Maybe he's going to do the same with
Costa and Raphinha ?

Maybe this is Bielsa acknowledging that a key part of his strategy means
wingers run themselves into the ground, so he’s doubling up on options.
Having looked at a couple of Raphinha (sp?) videos, I’d say Alioski and
Costa were now second choices, and agree that Douglas will probably go,
given he’s behind Davis too.
The Hernandez/Roberts creativity thing is a potential issue, but MB
seems to know what he’s up to :-)
