I’m not ready to give up on him yet. Who else out there right now could really turn this team around? I wasn’t thrilled with him sticking to a back 3 when Kelly got injured. He should have shown more tactical flexibility and switched to a back 4 when it was clearly needed. If he wants to be taken seriously and actually help this club, he can’t be a one-trick pony.
The 3-4-2-1 isn’t trash, but you need quality defenders to make it work. Setting Tudor up for success means: getting quality defensive reinforcements, signing a strong midfielder who can drive play and link up with the forwards. Locatelli isn’t it, Koopmeiners isn’t it, Douglas is, but clearly Tudor’s given up on him. So fucking sell him and bring in someone who will thrive in that role.
Our attack is the easiest fix, we already have some strong options up front, just need the cherry on top.
