that's the criminal part of his season
for the first few games he played on the flank, pretty close to the sideline. if you check his heatmap vs udinese, you'd never guess it was a 3-5-2. against cagliari or atalanta though, all over the place, zero effectiveness. i wish we could see him regularly as a winger in either a 4-3-3 or a 3-4-3. fuck, even a 4-2-3-1 would do, i can see loca + rabiot doing all right in a mostly defensive double pivot, that's what they're doing anyway
same with iling. that guy could be a very good winger. and he directly replaced miretti vs cagliari

i'd be fine with chiesa, vlahovic/kean, iling for a run of a few games if shit goes south and we need a change. (we'll obviously keep using 3-5-2 until those rock steady 1-0's keep coming, fml)
problem is the rest. 4-3-3: who's the 3rd cm? mckennie can't pass, miretti is slow and weak. 4-2-3-1: who's the am, miretti who won't/can't track back if played higher? any 4-man backline: who's the rb, the weakest position of the whole squad? at first sight 3-4-3 could look all right and would comfort kostic the best

I think Miretti would have to play there now and just be used as a runner to make space. And Mckennie at RCM to dunk crosses from Illing.
The problem is you might as well play Kostic at LW if you want a crosser.
Although I'm very intrigued by Illing. Could he actually play CM? Guess we'll never know because he'll be sold in January
