I wonder how much of this Timber at LB was the original plan for Timber or Mikel reacting to Zinchenko's injury.
His first game was at RB iirc so obviously Mikel isn't opposed to playing him there. Curious because if we've pivoted to having Timber at LB long term that means we now need another RB as backup to White (so we are not reliant on Tomiyasu's fitness).
That first game at RB makes me think that this was not the original plan and the original plan was Kiwior, but then Timber looked better there. I think we're fine on RBs though — we've got Tomi and Timber and we can just play Tierney / Kiwior if both Zinny and Tomi are out and White needs a break
