To me what is more important than formation is that I want to see us press. Whichever formation that manager deems best for that I'm fine with but I want to see us press and have the ball more. Watching us sit back and watch the other team pass around us the last two years has been dreadful.
As for specific formations I find it hard to fit our players into one (as I mentioned in another thread) because we have such a mish mash of individual pieces that don't work.
I am moving more towards favoring a 3 at the back system because I have changed to think it is a better fit for Reguilon and it seems easier to get WB's than classic FB's now. I think we could keep Doherty as a back-up in this formation as well as bring Sessegnon back as well. Keeping Doherty isn't ideal obviously but we have so much to move out we likely have to keep some of the trash.
The biggest issue for me is that we likely need 3 CBs if we do that. Rodon could play in the middle or on the left but probably would want two new starters alongside him, Toby could do for another year but we need to move on from him. Tanganga looks like he would fit great on the right in a 3 at the back system but I am not keen on him and Rodon starting together. I guess you could keep Davies for the 2nd team as the LCB in a back three but that is pretty uninspiring.
