The three CMs was always going to be a disaster as not one of them make runs past the ball.
You only had to watch Newcastle Friday to see what a real 8 does. Everytime the ball went wide, Longstaff or Willock made a run beyond the ball inside the FB. Now the ball is either played through to them or the big gaping hole they’ve created dragging one or two of the opposition with them allows Guimares time and space to do whatever he wants or Isak to drop deep and get on the ball.
Whereas we do none of that. FBs barely make an overlap and we get the horseshoe of doom. Dan Burn is better in an attacking sense than most of our lot.
Not sure why it’s still happening 3 managers on. JL even had success out the 442 but some reason ain’t playing it. Semedo outside Sarabia and Bueno/RAN outside whoever we decide to opt for on the left. Suits the front 2 and suits the CMs and certainly doesn’t impede the wider players like it did Saturday.
