That is the problem. Both play as a winger. We do not have a centre forward except for Endrick
IMHO we need Right Wing, someone who would stay on RW all the time(when attacking off) and you can count on him.
When Vini was benched by Endrick last game, Rodrygo left RW just to double LW like Vini and Mbappe and we had lord and carvajal there
The funny thing is that this is the same heatmap as Vini and Mbappe last season at their respective clubs but nobody stopped to take a second and look at it.
In fact, if you look at stats, Vini was on par with Mbappe in most metrics like dribbling, carry and passing, and he was far superior in pressing.
But the decision was already made for Mbappe long before Vini became the de facto best on this position in the world. Fans still can’t accept that adding someone they adore so much can only make a team better if there’s space for him to shine.
It’s a matter of time before they understand though. JK they won’t 😂
Vini’s map is clearly wider than Mbappe, who likes to drift towards centre more often. This heat map almost justifies Vini playing as the true LW instead of Mbappe. Our current 4-3-3 with Vini as LW and Mbappe as the 9 should theoretically work. But it isn’t working right now. I would say this is largely due to the individual players not playing their best football rather than Carlo not getting the tactics right.
A more suited way to accomodate both would be in a 442 with Vini as the LM and Mbappe as the Left Striker. In that case we would need a Right ST too. Rodrygo may be?
Mbappe isnt even a true RW. He plays anywhere between RW and ST position. Their positions are justified. 4-4-2 will do wonders as mbappe can also play on the right.
Let’s say mbappe sucks why isn’t Vinny scoring more? When Jude comes back in yall see that the chemistry mbappe and Jude have will let both of them shine because Jude isn’t selfish like Vinny.
Can someone tell me the name of this graph site?
Now show the heat map of rodrygo
i think playing 442 and rodrygo as the LM would benefit the both. Vini played as cf last season way too much and he did great so i’m hopeful
And Benzema’s heat map would probably be similar since he rotated to the left a lot.
People are incredibly impatient and want immediate impact or assume that there’s a problem and start jumping to conclusions (speaking in general, not specifically about OP).
Chill and let Ancelotti and the players adapt and build some chemistry.
Just play 1-4-1-4 formation, attacking football carlo.
People need to relax.
Finally someone sees the problem. I always hoped we went for Haaland because we need a person who can finish the thousand chances we make in a game. We just bought another LW. Rodrygo is also primarily a LW. Our attack is sparse on the right, no proper striker. Without Kroos, ball progression has become difficult too.
I’m not saying it’s over for us, but this team will take more than a few games to get used to each other. Or we’ll have to give up our famous 4-3-3 formation to make a sort of 4-2-3-1 formation with vini and rodrygo on the wings, belli as cam and fede + tchou as cm/cdm.
