My personal opinion is that we will not play with a back 5 but rather a back 3 with the "wing backs" deployed as wingers when we have possession of the ball. If we are to push the defensive line higher up the pitch we need a bit of pace and I believe this Ioannou guy actually has some of that. I would then deploy him as kind of a sweeper in between McKenna and Worral. That could possibly work but I wouldn't be comfortable with pushing the line to high up the pitch.
