Actually think there’s been glimpses of want Sima’s got when he drifts into channels and out wide, definitely doesn’t look like a striker. So unsure on why Beales been playing him in a front two. 

Because he didn’t have any other striker fully fit. Lammers was playing as the 10, Roofe wasn’t ready to start, Dessers was barely fit too.

That all changes with Danilo joining now as well as the rest having had more minutes.

What else was he to do? They’re just friendlies.

A proper manager would go 4-6-0.

Probably more about getting the rest of the team to work on the shape and style and asking Sima to do a job due to lack of fit strikers if that is going to be the preferred system going forward.

 

I think we are planning on being able to mix it up between 2 or 3 up top this season, but realistically the majority of our team are used to playing a variation of 3 (under Gerrard then Gio and Beale) but 2 is a change for them so most of the time has been spent working on how the defence and midfield work in that system.
