So that’s amad an mbeumo back now then. Just mazroui left in the afcon. Been watching a few games and amad has been good hopefully he can carry that on. Where will we play him now though as his wingback role has now gone and he definitely can’t be a full back.
Right side with mbeumo on left? Cunha might have to miss out especially if Bruno now plays in his natural position. What we think?

Great to have them back. Can't have enough food players to choose from. City and arsenal are next 2 league games then we play 5 games against teams lower than us. Not that that means a whole lot this season. Every game is hard so the more players we have available the better. There is goals in amad and mbeumo so that's another plus.

Totally Ken, excited to see amad back in his more natural position. he's done well at wingback but he was probably our best player last season from that wide right position. Having him further forward will hopefully be a plus. His driving runs could be very beneficial for the rest of the season.

Having too many good players and choices and players to bring off the bench, I really really cannot get my head around the “where will he play? ” questions. We need a squad, we need a bench, and we will have one.

I'd be loathe to drop Cunha for anybody if I'm honest, but something will have to give when everyone is available. I think Amed would still be on the bench for me out of the lot, perfect impact sub.

Just thought I’d get others thoughts on where amads best position is now, seeing as we will be adopting a new formation. I know we need a squad and I know he won’t always be starting, just thought I’d gauge opinions on where he’s best attributes will come through.

If 4-2-3-1 I think Amad could be in the middle of the 3. Or on the right with Mbeumo up top. I don't think playing him left is a good idea as that's where Cunha is best. We're weak in CM so I'd continue to have Bruno in there.

I think Amad is the one who might struggle to get into the starting 11. In a 4-3-3 he’s competing with Mbeumo for the RW spot, and is too dependent on cutting inside to play on the left. He’s the player that I suspect will be most disappointed with Amorim going.

4-3-3 then front trio of Amad, Mbeumo and Cunha I guess. You know what formation is likeliest to be able to play all the good attacking players we have. It's 3-4-2-1. Wait a minute.
