We have options

Needs us to be more fortunate with injuries and for Smith to play a system that suits the players he has available.
I hope we don't see 433 again, we simply don't have a forward 3 that it suits.
Sticking to 4231 would be my preference, it's a system the majority of the team is familiar with and to me makes sense given we have a plethora of number 10s. I would be inclined to go with Nunez, Cantwell, Ramsey with Dowell, Sara Onel as an options off the bench. One from two of Pukki and Sargent and then two from three of Hayden, Gibbs and McLean in midfield.

Alternatively, play the diamond if we want to play both Sargent and Pukki.
