Ideally he’d have found a couple of defenders to replace Sesko and Cunha

Playing Shaw at left back in a 4 wouldn’t stretch his fitness. Amorim was talking about not playing him at wing back.

Dalot is a right back, not a wing back.

Dorgu is not a left wing back

We had 3 left-footed CBs and couldnt progress centrally or down the wings.

This is all by choice.

Shaw and Heaven. There’s nearly half the outfield 10. Why do it?

We were just outplayed by Wolves at home with players unnecessarily out of position all over the pitch. That is the level of the manager.
December 30, 2025 at 10:26 PM
Outplayed by a Wolves team full of unknowns. We have a 6ft5 forward and no wingers to supply him. 3 central defenders marking no-one and passing sideways among themselves. It’s Amorim.

Really obvious stuff - why can Amorim not see it?

That’s it. Any minor improvement this season has been the running and off-the-ball work, we are as bad as ever on the ball. This approach sets a ceiling of 5th-6th.

wonder if he over-prioritises off the ball training as there‘s no quickness of passing or natural understanding of where team-mates are when on the ball

absolutely

Should start playing Shaw LWB esp when Martinez is back.

They were on my NME Britpop league table wallchart. Division 2 I think they were in.

Don’t question the system. We must have 5 defenders start each game. We must have no wide attackers and also must not try and progress the ball up the middle of the pitch.
