Thoughts so far is that 4-1-4-1 doesn't make best use of the players we have. So far the 4 midfielders have been too deep leaving the sticker isolated. The "out" ball has often been up to lone striker and it doesn't stick, should be aimed at the wingers. I haven't given up on the system yet, as i don't think they are playing to system as the manager wants.
3-5-2
LB/RB Cash and are both very good going forward, using them as extra attackers a real benefit.
CB we have lots
Midfield getting the balance between attack and defence is the tricky bit. Semedo/Bostock look like they can play all round game. Carvalho/Lolley
CF Both Grabban and Mir look like they will be better with more support.
Downside is wastes Ameobi/Adomah
4-2-3-1 (The karanka system)
With decent holding options the key is to get the 3 up the pitch pressing high and joining the attack.
4-4-2
Key is getting the 2 midfielders in the middle right, again Semedo/Bostock/Sow look like they can be box-box
Having 2 attackers (at home) a real chance to score goals.
Overall I think the squad is stronger, but we haven't seen them click yet. I realize its still very early in the season.
