Agreed we need a good back up cm with pace and power.

I still think he’s best in a deeper role. Preferably in a double pivot. Would like to see him and Tonali together with an athletic and technical attacking midfielder in front of them. Purely when it comes to player ability and style someone like Cunha would be perfect and it would also help Isak as well as giving more variety beings able to be really dangerous from central areas instead of going wide all the time.

 

im not expecting to see us go similar to 4-2-3-1 but I REALLY think it would be the best way to go. Especially when you consider what we already have as well as what we need going forward.

Think Willock could’ve been in for JL yesterday as a runner in the 10 role of a 4231. Then bring JL on in the 2nd half and revert to our normal shape. 
Would’ve allowed Bruno & Tonali to play closer together as a deeper midfield 2. 
Been thinking for a while they’d both look good there.

Anyway, didn’t happen.

I mean I get what you guys are saying but we’ve won 18 Pl games with 3 man midfield setup on top of a cup. We’ve won the most games in the league outside of Liverpool and are sat at 3rd place right now. We were handedly beaten by a team needing a response after the CL exit and had fresher legs in key areas than us. A team that has only beaten us twice in 3 seasons. Not many top managers chop and change their formations when they are at the top end of the table either.

^ also want to add our world class manager is sick in hospital. No matter how good the setup is it’s going to eventually be a problem for any club.
