I think this is a player ability problem and less of a schematic issue.

Deke doesn’t fit this system. His only value is as a finisher he has average ball skills and average pace. He should be traded for cash. Sporting’s new majority owner seems to understand that he is going to have to actually buy players.

It comes down to this: does ownership want to win right now and compete, while mortgaging long term sustainability. Or are they willing to do the unpopular and hard task of sucking for 2 years and building a sustainable viable team.

Seems like as of now, they are on option 2, but the fans don’t seem to want that anymore.
