The new manager’s inbox

[Linford]

All the noises I have heard is (once they took the plunge with Glasner and started signing players that suit his preferred style) that all new head coaches/managers moving forward have to fit the system we have in place and the players we currently use within that system.
Personally I think that is a good idea. It means we dont lose a truck load of money every time we change manager because the new guy doesn't fancy half our team and wants to bring in 4 or 5 of his own preferred players.
Dont want to play 3 at the back with wing backs? Then you're applying for the wrong job.

Amorim it is then!

Name one manager that has played that formation with success in the last 5 years.

Oliver Glasner
Ruben Amorim at Sporting Lisbon
Giampiero Gasperini
Nuno Espírito Santo
Antonio Conte
Vitor Pereira
Liam Rosenior

Pep also won a treble with a 3-2-4-1 system in 22/23, where Stones stepped up to join Rodri in a double pivot.

The end result is an in-possession shape very similar to how we play; 3 centre backs, 2 midfield pivots, 2 touchline-hugging wide players (Munoz & Mitchell) and then two dual 10s playing off a central striker.

I really try to avoid making these threads confrontational, but all you repeatedly do is demonstrate how little you understand football tactics and systems.

You've earlier claimed Conte's system at Chelsea was nothing like Glasner's, despite the systems being near identical. The basis for the claim is that you want to call Victor Moses a 'RM'...

You're now saying Pep didn't use a 3-4-2-1 system in 2022/23, despite the fact he undeniably did;
