My main point of reply was your bit about players in multiple positions, hence the Zinchenko and Rico references. The rags do not have the players to do thst.Amorin has a style he has played for his time as manager, alwas 3 at the back
martinez, deligt, mcguire
I dont think that is solid enough to play that way with the midfield they have ahead of them.
Most likely why he wanted to come in the summer and have his type.of plyer come i. when he does, trying to turn these clowns into a functioning defence, now he is stuck and if it doesn't work will soon have the players having him by the balls because defeats will weaken him tgey willl go back todoing as they please performance wise as has happened for years
I agree about a back 3 being preferred but if that is your back 3......
Martinez has been found wanting in other set ups so I can't see a back 3 suiting him.
Delight is a scruffy Jim signing and the jury's out and
Maguire has been on the transfer list for 2 years.
So to play his way the first thing Amorim needs to do is sign two players.
To play a back 3 needs the rest of the team to work. If he can make that happen, he deserves his wages
