Bouanga & Son's position issues
During the press, Bouanga openly says him and Sonny can’t play the way they did last year because the system has changed.Now he’s forced deeper, Sonny is pushed higher, and yet in moments where he has the ball… he’s still looking for him.
This clearly shows there is a dysfunction in the way players are told to position. The way they are "coached" is not working.
Also, even though Son is placed "higher", if you see his heat maps from last year and this year, you can see that Son is playing way deeper as a midfielder to create chances.
We need to position our attackers in a way where they can provide for each other and use their momentum together like they did last year.
