Manchester United's recent loss to Tottenham marked Ruben Amorim's eighth defeat after 14 Premier League matches, with the team suffering significant injuries to key players. Despite having nine days off between matches, injuries to Kobbie Mainoo and others crippled the squad. Although Amorim has consistently defended his choice of a 'back three' system, the underlying issues stem from player capabilities, not just formation. Historically, even flexible systems like the 'back three' were less common in the Premier League, pointing to a need for adaptability in style and strategy.
The narrative has focused on whether or not Ruben Amorim will change his system, but it's clear that the problem lies deeper than just formation.
Amorim's staunch defense of his 'back three' system has invited criticism, as it hasn't yielded positive results despite the mounting losses.
