The Griezmann problem (self.reddevils)

ggmu77 が 投稿

I apologize if this topic has been discussed already, but in this post I will specifically talk about the formations in our squad. We've been linked to Griezmann for quite a while now. He's been very good for Atletico and he also had an impressive performance in the Euros. But the question is; where does he fit in our current squad? The Euros already showed that you can't have Pogba and Griezmann in the same team without one of them performing below their standards. Pogba performs at his best in a 3 man midfield so this only leaves 3 players up top, assuming that we have 4 defenders. Griezmann has played as a shadow striker. Would we possibly pay a world record transfer fee for Griezmann just to play him out of position? I don't know. We don't currently play with 2 strikers and even if we did, then one of Martial or Mkhitaryan has to sit on the bench. So I've thought about a possible solution to this problem and I've only came up with one so far; the 3-5-2 formation. It would look something like this:

----------------------------de Gea-----------------------

--------------Rojo----------Bailly-------Jones------------

--------------Herrera-----Carrick-----Pogba--------------

----Mkhitaryan---------------------------------Martial----

----------------Griezmann----------Ibrahimović----------

This formation doesn't come without problems of its own though. There are no RB or LBs in this system, so no Valencia or Shaw. Valencia has been performing really well for us and Shaw has the talent to become a key player, despite his recent injuries. This formation would also leave the wings pretty vulnerable, it would mean that Mkhi and Martial have to track back more often so they wouldn't be able to run through defenses as often as they do now. I don't know if there is a way to utilize Griezmann as best as possible, unless Pogba suddenly starts performing well in a 2 man midfield. What are your thoughts on this? Any possibly solutions? I'm sorry if this is a low quality post but it's something that has been on my mind for a while.

Ibrah has a 2 year deal...consider that when signing a 25 year old forward half way through year 1 of said deal. Our main scoring threat has a shelf life that is short, you'll need someone to step in.

This is true but Griezmann has never played as a solitary striker, he's like Rooney, best when played as the deeper lying forward in a partnership

In that formation, you would need either wingers who track back immensely or WBs who are capable of moving forward and tracking back.

Martial's defensive work rate is abysmal. Teams only need to attack their right side to overwhelm us.

Griezmann doesn't do anything for United except make paying 100m for Pogba look useless.

I've wanted him since 2013, but now having doubts since our midfield 3 has looked so good and I don't want to see Pogba go back to being limited in a 2 man midfield.

The only way I can see getting the best out of him and Pogba is if he's able to play as a solo striker, but we haven't really seen him play that role before, and that's risky.

I think has the ability to play that role, but It would also require a shift in tactics and would mean choosing between him and zlatan.

IIRC Costa never really played as a solo striker at atletico either before a Chelsea bought him either?

I don't think there's a clear solution without risks
