Of course Roberts was playing centrally in that system. Only two positions he can play in that formation is a an attacking central midfielder or off a main striker, both which are central.
You don’t need to be any footballing genius to expect Butler to field that formation when he’s set up with it in every pre season game so far. I mean come on Mick, let’s be serious here.
Butler signing another CB hints towards that as well.
There’s a chance he could do a complete u-turn and field a different system, but it’s highly unlikely.
