We play Ipswich after this god awful international break (Australia play Saudi Arabia in a crucial qualifier in an hour so wish us luck). You’d assume we’d play 343 so I wonder if this side might start/be the best one…
Onana
Yoro De Ligt Martinez
Maz Casemiro Ugarte Garnacho
Amad Hojlund Bruno
I’m not sure how good Garnacho would be as a left wingback but online he seems to be in all the line ups so perhaps that’s something he’d be good at. And maybe I’m being rash putting Yoro in the line up but maybe he’ll do an Antony and be great in training in the next week. How would you all alter that?
Amorims first line up?

Greenwood is a much more gifted technician and manipulator of the ball than Rasmus so I don’t really see that being on the right - especially in a role in which he’d be expected to go inside where the game is more congested and intricate - would benefit Rasmus or the team. He’s a talented young CF that needs time to develop and improve his game at CF.
Amad should definitely be the right sided attacker. Interestingly, Mason Mount’s best season for Chelsea was in Tuchel’s 3-4-3 playing in the left of the three. We might see Mount & Amad off of Rasmus and Bruno & Ugarte as the central midfield pairing.
That would certainly be our most energetic formulation in those positions and could meet the intensity requirements Amorim places on those players.

Rasmus is actually skillful. He often does neat little tricks on the ball to create space.

He just isn't 9 material, can't hold the ball up for toss. Can't win anything in the air.
Seems weak at times.
Id rather he just get game time but away from the pressure of the 9 spot.

I wonder if he might try Garnacho as a CF. He can lead counterattacks and knows where the goal is.

Does he have to hold the ball up under Amorin's style/formation?

Not sure we have the players for his 3-4-3 yet, unless Bruno is a false 9 type... That said, didn't Sporting lack a focal point striker for his first few years?.

We will know in a few days. I'm mini "Amorim out" simply because this is destined for disaster. Amorim seems to have always been their target. They should have brought him in and started adjusting accordingly.

I know Dalot is shiiiit, but I’d prefer him at wing back than Garnacho.
