Another big disclaimer which alot of people are not alluding to is
ETH used to stack 4 attacking players leaving the midfield wide open. Yet we were not prolific scorers.
Amorim is stacking up defenders, leaving a midfield 2 out numbered, yet we keep conceding goals with 6 defenders on the pitch ( back 5 + goalkeeper).
Amorim has not addressed midfield issues that's why things have collapsed.
Sadly, this formation won't work in EPL.
Even Arteta tried it, he finished 8th. Saka was a wingback. He changed to 433 he became a challenger almost immediately.
The danger we have now is, we might spend another 500m on a system which will only deliver top 4. Yet top 4 was being delivered by 'Ole Ball' without all this shenanigans of needing new 11 players.
In short,CURRENT the profile of EPL opposition, the dynamics of competition in EPL, a team of 2 midfielders will never be top WINNER team for a 5-10 period. Other team will find you out.
Sadly, It looks like Ashworth might have been correct.
- Probably Amorim is a level below PL standards.
- Probably 343 is a level below PL challenge. ( yes Chelsea won the title playing 343... It's Some 7 years ago. Also Leicester won the league playing Counter attacking Football a season before) Both teams collapsed thereafter.
- EPL has been won and consistently being fought for, by teams playing 433 since 2017.
- You can not consistently perform in EPL with only 2 midfielders. Never in the current times. Yes, positioning might differ but you need 3 pure midfielders in title winning team.
- With 2 midfielders, you will get overrun frequently.
