With Ole’s preference for 4 at the back, I think we could try a 433 with Martial on the left, Cavani in the middle and Rashford on the right. Rashford strikes the ball well from right to left and delivers a really good cross from that position too. The way he strikes the ball will help him get good balls in to Martial and Cavani who are probably our better finishers.
I think Bruno needs to play as an 8 with VdB playing the same role. McTominay or Fred in the middle for the legs. Both Bruno and VdB have the appetite to win the ball back. We should be able to press well with the front 6 and retain a good team shape if our players can be disciplined. Bruno plays the role perfectly fine for Portugal and VdB was comfortable at Ajax playing any midfield role. We have plenty of options on the bench. It still baffles me that our coaches cannot find a system for all the talented players we have.

Greenwood, rashford and martial front 3 was the best thing to come out of the previous season.

Why change it?

Also good luck getting the ball to the front players with fred or mctominay playing at the base of midfield.

Fred/ Mctominay would only need to find Bruno or VdB. I think they’re capable of doing that if both play as an 8.
I’m not comfortable with the reliance on Greenwood. I also think we need to try something different given that we have so many options.

Everton will put someone in Bruno to nullify his threat and they have a much stronger midfield than ours.

I think Bruno is intelligent enough to find space. We cannot be over reliant on him either. The team needs to step up and be confident enough to play the correct passes.

Bruni may be intelligent enough to either find space or create space for others. I am not sure the rest are good enough to take advantage of it.
