He can barely win a header like that and doesn't seem to favour playing back to goal.
It's as unfair as putting DCL on the wing.

Put him in that Mirallas role on the left, and I'd almost guarantee you'd have an upgrade in that position. He loves to cut in and shoot, and he can cross with either foot.

For me, DCL and Sandro have to be playing together and we'd instantly see something different (for the better).
Put an actual winger on the opposite side too, maybe then we could look somewhat incisive in our attacking play.

Hence eliminating the pace problem completely on the wings. We can play these slower lineups when we have a target man and a faster defensive line. We can't press effectively as our back line has to defend to deeply.

Brings me back to Koemans famous 'we like to press, we come to play attacking football' - followed by us doing the exact opposite.
As you've just said, our lack of pace and pressing up the field (or pressing at all) just means we are defending deeper and deeper.
Then we bypass the midfield with a good ol' hoof and lose the ball because we're so slow in trying to support.

Buying a Spanish forward and expecting him to play that way is naive in the extreme.

It worked for like 2 mins in the Tottenham game lol.... It's just not sustainable with the personnel that we have. Play with wingers and play for the counter attack you fat dutch baby... and DCL up top

This might sound like I'm a crazy hipster, but someone should tell him to play our Strikers in the Striker role (one of Sandro or DCL), wingers in the winger role (Mirallas, Lookman, Vlasic), and play one number ten instead of three, mental I know, but it just might work.
The decision he's made to expect 4 midfielders to replace Lukaku's goals is a bit mental, midfielders need a focal point to move play forward in order to get a goal scoring opportunity, otherwise we're just going to be passing it to each other in midfield all day like in that Simpsons episode.

Yes that's right. I said earlier though, you couldn't really call that a long run of poor form.
The ones who don't get you a striker? Ef them.! He's done it to prove a point and as were short

Im putting myself through the pain of watching liverpool v seville. Forgetting about the football skill and style. The speed,work rate,effort, intensity, will to win the game is the total opposite to what i see in our current team and set up. They seem to press with hugh effort as a team. We seem to do a half effort as individuals. Allowing crosses in etc etc. Needs to sort the intensity off the ball out. Did this lad not learn from the mistakes martinez made. He will get lynched at goodison if this lack of intensity continues.
