Get back to 433 and stop repeating the errors of 20-21
As the title states
This is 20-21, playing midfielders in defence and squad pegs in round holes all over again
We're not getting the best from several players, because Jurgen's repeating his mistakes of 20-21 when he equally panicked and made daft decisions and in complete honesty, made a right pigs ear of things. The difference this season is, there are 3 or 4 teams who are FAR better equipped to keep picking up points while Jurgen's doing this that will see us miss out on top four if it isn't already beyond us if he doesn't kick his own arse into gear sharpish
He messed it up playing Elliot at RCM, that caused severe issues with our already under par press and counter press and for Mo and Trent
Now he's changed to 442 or 4231 to accommodate Elliott, making Nunez, Mo and others square pegs in round holes
Just accept Elliott isn't a midfielder, use him as a sub to give Mo some rest in some games, play 433
Alisson
Trent Konate Van Dijk Robertson
Henderson Fabinho Thiago
Salah Nunez Carvalho
That's probably our best 11 right now, that's better for all the players, playing positions they are used to supported by players they are used to in those positions - I'm not Fab's biggest fan and there are options to play midfield without him without having to include Elliott now players are coming back
Jurgen just needs to take stock, realise he's panicking again and throwing the baby out with the bath water again just as he did in 20-21 and calm down, be sensible, play players with a history of performing together who know each others games very well and try and build some momentum and confidence
