So 4-2-3-1 is mooted as a possible set up against the teams that defend deep, at the very least.

Nunez
Diaz/Jota? - Bobby/Carvalho - Salah/Elliott

It depends on how we see ourselves actually breaking down a deep set defense.

PLaying in front of it is clearly no good and corssing form deep is no good. Its really how we get behind those defenders and get them turned imo.

4231... not really but....

343... park fabinho beotween the two split cbs who both have pace. have two players in CM. Thiago and AN.Other. have the two full backs play like wingers. as in get down the line not be stood infield.

I'd really be wnating players to ull wide though fomr the 3 to really help. We need two in the box and one wider to create the overlap.

Tbf I think formations aren’t as big a thing as before really. So flexible in how things are that rarely even line up in a 433 and when we bring a 4th striker on, it’s a bit of a mix where people play.

Obviously tactically have positions, but the front 3 generally move around so much that hard to pinpoint an exact formation.

If he signs, don’t see us changing much and will think diaz Nunez Salah will be first choice with Jota cover on left and central and firmino cover for middle.

Now, the more interesting one is Carvalho as he does seem a more number 10. So interesting see where he fits, I assume will try mould him into the RCM role where pushed on a bit more. But in a 4231 you’d think he would be the one in that 10 behind Nunez with diaz and Salah either side.

surely we could have called coutinho a no 10 as well. we have no slot for a 10 and certinaly not a firmino whos slowing down nor a 19 year old prospect.

our no 10 is PRESSING :)

Carvalho for me is LW.
Elliott for RCM.

jones lets see if he figures out that moving the ball is better than hogging it.

Say crossing from deep, Nunez looks a threat in the air. Big and powerful and scored few with his head from crosses so maybe it’s an option for those kinds of crosses that we currently don’t have tbf

Think this summer could be a big transfer window for alot of teams across Europe.

Seems to be a lot of contracts either about to run out this or next summer.
Like they're all been holding onto these players until they can understand the fall out from Covid and are now in a position to make the changes.

A lot of players playing the game for a big pay day as well.

Or by contrast a lot of players the clubs couldn't get rid of cos nobody wanted the risk (see pogba and jones)

For whatever reason it certainly is a big season of change.

The mbappe decision certainly upset a few agents
 
If he has gone to Brighton last summer, may have to move this summer again. Brighton were not in Europe last season, maybe no one will notice.

Nunez deal not done. They want 80m plus 20m add ons, we won't go above 75m with add ons. Wait for Utd to step in with a 95m offer plus add ons.

If the player can't wait a season to play CL or completely misses the point that he should be the one helping to get us there, and we need to pay more for the deal and he still doesn't want to come to us, then I hope we walk away.

This is typical btw, the hype around the player is overshadowing whether he's worth it at all? Nkunku looks an equally good prospect and probably worth channelling our efforts towards.
