RA line up was a full on mistake.
We self destructed from the get go.

Which team in the EPL would worry about dalot and malacia as wbs ?
No threats from down the flanks.

Playing against a 4-2-3-1, you put the diminutive Amad as forward, just behind the striker, where opponent has 2 dms.
Flanks no threat, contain Amad and Fernandez.

Zirkzee, speed = 2. Threat self neutralized.

All Bournemouth had to do was to contain Amad and Fernandes = game set and match.
There was simply no threat in the line up.

Amad should have been wingback, with Eriksen or Garnacho as am/forward.
This way the threats are spread out and you have speed at both flanks.
I cannot fathom, why Zirkzee and not Højlund ?
With Amad as forward, you needed someone with strength and pace to hold and fight for space.
Just because you tell a player to do something does not mean he will be able to do it well.
Anyone has any idea what Zirkzee was doing ?

If RA still has not figured out his strongest line up and still tinkering around, then we are in some trouble.

I still feel we need a good CB, de ligt is not good enough to command the final 3.
Our attack fell dead simply cause our threats were easily contained, if our danger players force the defenders to spread out, we would have more chances at goal.

Amorim has underestimated what the EPL standard is like, and his 4-3-3 needs work when against 4-2-3-1.
Is malacia and dalot RA's Antony ? Just keep playing them and hope they get good ?

We don't need the players to get better.
We need Ruben Amorim to get real first.
