I don't get this hire, 3-5-2/3-4-2-1 with this squad? So we're just going to bench Conceicao, Yildiz, Gonzalez and Mbangula?
He usually plays at least one winger in that 2 up front, so can see Yildiz, Nico, Conceicao beign put there.
There is also 343 which he was playing at OM sometimes. He will have to convert someone to Wingback probably anyway - we have only three guys who could play Wing backs - Cambiaso, Alberto Costa and Weah. We will probably see McKennie as LWB, since Cambiaso is crippled by injuries lately.
for the 3 up front we will have Vlahovic, Kolo, Yildiz, Mbangula, Nico, Conceicao and Koop. My guess is that Mbangula and Conceicao might be the guys who are typical wingers and will struggle with Tudor, rest should be fine.

BTW Tudor is wise choice from the PR perspective - Curva will now probably be back to support the team as he is club legend and it would be really stupid for them not to be back.

Welcome and good luck, it’s obviously not going to be an easy task but i’d like to believe that it just can’t get any worse than what we’ve already witnessed, so i do expect him to eventually take us over the line and reach the minimum objective.
I've said this to myself so many times before & have been surprised how far we are capable of going to dig ourselves deeper into the shithole.

We're 5th now. If you think that finishing 6th, 7th, or out of European competitions places is worse than where we are atm, then yes, it can definitely get worse.

Doubt it can get any worse than what we’ve seen so far under Motta, or even more so i doubt we would have been any better off continuing with him instead of giving ourselves a reset with a new face at the helm for this final push, at least this way there’s some renewed hope of maybe salvaging something, remains to be seen how it will eventually pan out i guess.

I don't care if he plays 3-5-2 or 7-1-2, I just want us to have an identity. A game plan that the players actually stick to, we can sort out the rest later. It's the foundation we're lacking at the moment.
Yep. This is all about setting the ground work for next year. Players getting some confidence back and us getting results. It will also allow us to evaluate certain players with another coach.

Our flaws were primarily attitude-based.

He's coming to sort that out. Tactically this squad won't need too much fine balancing to beat Cessena or whoever it is now once the players get their arses in gear.

It’s not only down to attitude. The players looked confused tactically and also technically limited - and don’t even get me started with their physical abilities lol
