Prefer 2 b2bs instead of 2 dms.

More mckennie
they had their only sitter minutes after loca was subbed out

mckennie would play if he was in good shape. he's prolly chubby as fuck again

that said, this was a pretty short honeymoon phase. we need to do much more in attack, especially after bringing in multiple good attacking players

Gonna patiently wait. Only 4 games in, need at least 15 to see if he has what it takes. The thing that worries me how disjointed we look. A lot of times players are out of their position or maybe those are his instructions and the type of football he brings.

It could take a whole season to break the club from it's torturous spell under Allegri. So he deserves time.

Of course, it doesn't help that Jungtoli provided him 150M in useless players.

I think with Thuram healthy we might use him alone back there and 2 b2bs.

I think yildiz needs more help on the left. I general I like 5 attackers across more than 4 with just the ST and CAM offering in the centre

i think loca playing the cb from macs' playbook in possession is integral, that guarantees some level of stability. also i don't think luiz is a dm at all. funny how badly he handled the almighty empoli press though after years in the best league lol

imo yildiz will get the help if motta puts cambiaso on the left. for me he's still not a winger though

That is what he is asking for most definitely, lots of movements and interchangeable positions, which it can look great when executed well but that usually requires the players to have played together before or at least have an immediate understanding of when and who to cover when they move around, which isn’t yet the case because we’ve also been doing lots of rotation and are still early into the project with many new players joining in late…

Trying so many experiments simultaneously this early on is probably a bit too bold, although it seems for large parts to not affect our defensive solidity it does seem to create confusion in the middle and upfront more often than not.

Hopefully with more time and patience we will start seeing improvements in the way the players interpret the formation and their roles because atm something clearly isn’t clicking.

As for defensive solidity, not sure. Empoli had 2 great chances and whenever they went on a counter in the 2nd half, we looked exposed.

Somebody tell him that this is Douglas Luiz & not Costa. Why was he so far wide. We have no midfield.

I'm genuinely confused by this. He instructed Luiz to be left mid almost whole game until he was subbed. Very rarely did he drift centrally. And if he did it was to he a left AM stating close to Vlaho. It's like he fully wants to give the CM duties to Cambiaso and telling Luiz chill on the left/near box?


Odd way to use a CM nr 6 who is mainly a playmaking orchestrator in deeper CENTRAL positions in Premier League.
