I just think football tactics have gotten way too complicated for their own good.
Step 1, play a style of football that switches the crowd on. This is different at different clubs. We had Amorim sitting there tweaking on the edges meanwhile the entire crowd is falling asleep because Harry Maguire has more ball at his feet than any of the attacking players.
Step 2, play the best players in their best positions and deal with the rest afterwards. Amorim's 3-5-2 didn't suit any of the centre backs, full backs / wingers, or centre mids. Murmurs are coming from the camp as well that the players barely did any ball work in training, just stood around being lectured on positioning.
It's only after you get the first two right that the tactical genius comes in any use, to eek out the last few percentage points of performance.
