Without wishing to get into name calling with fellow posters, perhaps it’s better to examine the core of the debate on Glasner.
Some are unwilling to even engage in the debate i.e ‘Glasner is our best manager in years’ ..’ he sees the players in training ‘ ….’he’s far more knowledgeable than a mere fan’ etc.
Some will engage in a debate and provide reasons why the system does suit our squad and point out that it’s not a rigid system as there’s flexibility built in depending upon whether we’re in or out of possession.
Some on here are of the opinion that our current squad would suit a back 4 better.
Nobody can say for sure because we have not tried it for any meaningful length of time.
It’s probably uncontroversial to say the wing back system suits Munoz, but not Mitchell.
It’s also fair to say that the system does not appear to suit Nketiah or Kamada , although no doubt some would say they’re not good enough regardless of the system!
In my view the system does not appear to get the best out of Eze as he operates in a very narrow area of the field making it far easier to contain him.
Back in the day when I played (a long time ago sadly) talented players were told to ‘find space’ on the field so they could best influence proceedings and hurt the opposition.
Surely this would be possible to achieve within a team structure.Let him drift and find the gaps.
I also don’t like a 2 man central midfield.
It leaves us frequently outnumbered and places huge demands on the players selected.
I also feel that Guehi and Lacroix are more than capable of forming a very solid partnership without the need for a 3rd ( often redundant) centre back.
It’s rare that we encounter more than one striker in any event and it’s noteworthy that, 3 centre backs or not , we still conceded from a header on Sunday.
I’m not saying Glasner is a bad manager, or suggesting I know more about football than Glasner.
I’m just suggesting that it would be interesting to see us play with a back 4 and extra man in midfield.
