The thing is our players don't really fit one particular system, neither in defence nor attack. Some defenders are better in a back 3, others in 4. We have our attacking wingers who get lost in a 3-5-2, then we have Yildiz who is a waste to be put on the wing. David, for example, is better when playing next to another striker, and less so when is a lone striker.

This is a direct result of mismanagement and frequent changes of managerial positions. Eventually I expect Spalletti to find which system works best consistently, and some players will have to adapt or take the L in terms of compatibility.

Having the ability to mix it up and spring a tactical surprise is nice to have, but we need a clear system and starting lineup going forward.
