We have some very good players, but it could be argued that the current 343 system won’t see them at their best.
There are a number of players who appear to be out of position in the system .
Anderson has proved to be a huge miss and neither Richards nor Guehi look so assured in his absence.
Guehi has been moved to the centre of the 3, but although a very good defender, he doesn’t have the presence or passing range of Anderson.
Our passing from the back has become very ragged putting us under unnecessary pressure.
Munoz, JPM and Eze don’t look look the same players without Olise , who fitted the 343 system perfectly bringing the best out of his teammates.
There’s no point trying to replicate last season’s system if players are played out of position.
I watched Nketiah closely yesterday and most of his work was done outside the penalty area, and in fairness he did this well.
However, when he really came to life was inside the penalty area where he scored one, had one cleared off the line and set up what should have been a simple finish for Eze.
We need him in and around the penalty area throughout, not drifting in deeper or wider positions.
Kamada does’nt appear to suit the current system being neither one of the 2 central midfielders nor a front 3 player.
It could also be argued that Lerma doesn’t suit a 2 man central midfield as despite his energy, he’s too loose in possession.
Some on here have suggested that the system could be changed to 352 or 442 to suit the current squad and I wouldn’t be averse to trying alternatives.
