Bentancur playing well and being such a stark upgrade, shows that we needed 4 players in the window as a priority, rather than the 3 some thought.

But 3rd goalscoring attacker, creative mid, and RWB still desperately needed.

We are run like a dumpster fire with no plan. Levy has never planned on how to build the team. We flit from one player to the next and with no real ideas the same with managers. We have no idea as a club and what we want to be.

Bringing Bentancur and moving one of Winks or PEH out for a more attacking/creative skilled MFer would have made a lot of sense and made the window so much better.

Bringing Bentancur in wasn't a problem but bringing him as the only MFer in was.

Such a poor window for addressing our needs and like you say we needed at least 4 players and brought in 1 to address what we needed.

Yeah; Bentancur has been better than I expected; but the window still wasn’t nearly enough.

I got loads of Disagrees for my meltdown on transfer deadline day; and I wish I’d have been proven wrong.
 
MF has messed up here: we don’t seem to have the players for WBs, so need to put an extra body in MF and play through the middle. Whether that’s to take one from the back 5 or one from the front 3 doesn’t bother me (I’d take one from the front 3 as all our defenders are woeful, but we’d probably never score again).

Ho hum.

I agree the 3-4-3 doesn't work but the 3-5-2 is the best option.

Davies and Sanchez have shown they are even worse in a back 4 than back 3. The WB's won't look any better or worse than they do playing in a back 4.

Our midfield is terrible so trying to rely on them more to move the ball up the pitch is a nightmare.

In reality there is no good formation for us because our players suck but 3-5-2 is the formation that makes the most sense with what he have for now.
