Yet again for third gae in a row, result s have given us a chance to get up to top 4 level with Chelsea. i'd love to see RA just play Mainoo with Cas and Bruno, having Cunha and Mbeumo up top.
Cas sits deep, Bruno and Mainoo ahead, wing backs either side and lads up top freedom to move, interchange etc. Gives us more legs in midfield but still an attacking side.

Amorim has made it clear that bruno and mainoo are competing for 1 position.
Considering bruno is captain and never misses a game, that means Mainoo will not play and needs to get a move in January.
Hopefully its a loan so Mainoo can come back if RA gets the chop.

Your post RedCon encapsulates why I think all this talk of formation is far too blinkered. The implication of that change is that Amad is dropped. And whatever anyone thinks of Mainoo, Amad has done much more to prove he belongs in the starting team.

Sent that prematurely. I assume you're not asking for Amad to be dropped but I think it'd be inevitable if we've two CMs that aren't good at tracking. It may work but it also could exacerbate our issues by exposing Casemiro further.
It moves the no.10s further up and create a gap. However the merit is that it may ensure Cunha stays wider left and improve our biggest problem area atm.
