And yet it was Mooy playing in the LAM position for the opening 60 mins :shrug: The fact that Trossard kept having to drift in to that position suggests playing Mooy there wasn’t working. Admittedly he did drift out wide once Murray and March were brought on in what looked like a 5-2-3/ 3-4-3...
I mean, Trossard has made a career of being a winger so playing him as a no.10 whilst a natural no.10 plays out wide seems a bit counterintuitive to me. Not saying Trossard can’t play the no.10 role, just that he’s more suited to wing play than Mooy, Gross or Mac Allister.
Tbf everyone was well below par today. However, I was of the understanding that Mac Allister is a no.10 but he’s being played out wide. It seems to be Potter’s new thing, playing central playmakers out wide instead of out and out wingers. Meanwhile Trossard was up top. Why he was playing there...
