Sooo... we are 11 games into the season.
Porro and Udogie have started both 11 games.
Between themselves they have 1 goal and 2 assists. So 3 goal contributions combined for 22 appearances for players that push extremely high and are supposed to help us on attacking side.
That is definition of total garbage.
Our wings are overcrowded and there are acers of space to be found behind the lines.
People keep sayin "oh, but what would improve when there would be another manager in charge?!?".
I can tell you my view-
First of all, new manager could keep the current pressing tactics, but stop with this absurdity with fullbakcs that is not producing anything. But their normal positioning would help in defensive side. It would be an upgrade that can be done as quick as flip of switch.
Another thing - solidify midfield. Play 2 deeper CMs that can take room away from opposition players so that they could not run straight to our box. Right now we are absolutely overcowded in some areas and leave others totally abandoned.
So talking of current crop of players, that is how I'd like us to line up -
----------Vicario---------
Porro-Romero-VDV-Udogie
-----Sarr---Bentancur---
Kulusevski-Madders-Son
-----------Solanke---------
yeye, I know, Kulu on the RW is not fully optimal, I know that, but this would be a next step in improvement - to get in a READY-NOW-RW in January window. And one fullback as well.
So in 3 steps we'd play totally different football that would increase our chances in a cup from current 0,01% to maybe like... 5%
?
Cause right now... I cannot stress this enough - our current system allowed even COLCHESTER to score against us. And also 3 sides from bottom 6 of EPL in Leicester, Crystal Palace and Ipswich. 3 games out of which we racked up massive 1 point.
