We still need the same positions as before last transfer window: Defensive midfielder (tenacious, high work rate, mobile and tidy passing), right winger (a proper, creative winger, but also one that knows the role and how to track back) and central defender (pacey, left footed and good on the ball).
Probably also a decent backup/attacking option for right back in the mold of Telles/Shaw.
In general, we need to improve our ball retention skills for the team as a whole. Bruno is amazing, one of the best in the world, and you can afford having a player like him that loses possession as long as he keeps his risky/creative pasing in the oppositions half (the nutmeg attempt against Leicester was ridiculous) , but it is too much when you have e.g. Fred in the same midfield who has an awful first touch and his passing is all over the place. We need to control games better - especially when we are ahead to avoid uncessary goals like against Leicester.
