I think I’d lean towards a 4-3-3 / 4-5-1

Would rather have Nunez in the middle than Crnac on the right, and then use pacey widemen to attack rather than trying to play through the middle.

In that 4-2-3-1, I don’t see where the creativity comes from. McLean is good at early balls into space, he’s not going to thread a ball through a tightly packed defence, nor is Topic.
