Next seasons squad

Just basing off 343 which I think RdZ will execute next season. What do you think? 4231? 352? Whatever you choose the current squad isn't optimized, indicative of a loack of a grand plan.
a 3-5-2 would help us hide our lack of true wingers by utilizing the wingbacks to provide width and playing two central strikers.

We don't have 1 viable central striker at the moment, let alone too

3 at the back doesn't really allow you to press high either. Its a low block formation
 
That’s the main issue with playing a lone CF… unless they are competent at holding the ball up, creating their own chances and being able to get on the end of passes and crosses, then that can be schemed against.

Playing two strikers allows you to pair players who can complement each other, say a target man and a faster option to play off him. I could see a Solanke + Kroupi pairing working this way.

As far as pressing goes, it’s about responsibilities rather than positions. You can press high before falling back into your defensive shell.

We havent played 2 CFs since AVB sold van der Vaart. Its a pretty dead system globally this past 2 decades
