The change from 4231 to 433 to 352 shows he can't work it out

4231 requires you to dominate the ball and AMs who can thread a ball - he thinks we can't do that and have lost the one player good at the through ball
So he planned for 433 and bought wide attackers...
But that got demolished against better sides and Watford because we can't dominate midfield without a proper DM in the 3.
So he went build from the back 532 - 352 but it means his best new signings don't get a look in and we carry no threat as we don't have the Vardy like quick striker to play off the back line.

Personally I would rather go down playing attacking football but confidence looks shot either way and I fear it's too late.

I am worried we have thrown away our identity as an possession based attacking side so quickly
