Everything's so muddled.
You're not going to move away from 3-4-2-1, that much is clear. You've just spent >£100m on Cunha and Mbeumo so they're clearly going to be the two behind the front man (Sesko, who also doesn't look a great fit to me for this system but that's another question).
So where is Captain Ratboy playing then? As a CM in a two where they're having to do a fair bit of defensive work and be disciplined? You must know he can't do that! Or won't, whichever. And you're sticking him next to Casemiro who looked done 18 months ago and is inexplicably still inked into the team. Where's the running, where's the energy, what is to stop teams running straight onto your backline constantly.
If I can see it and I dare say I'm hardly unique in that respect, how can he be sending out that muddle (leaving aside having Amad as a RWB, Dalot still somehow getting a gig, Dorgu looking like a posh Mo Camara, Maguire being your go-to attacking sub, etc etc) when a year ago he was amongst the very highest rated coaches in the world?
