I think Hakan should play as the CAM and Paqueta deeper. Paqueta is underrated here anyway, he came in tired and not used to serie a and instantly changed our team for the better. Not super great individual performances but having another player capable of moving the ball into good positions helped Piatek score right off the bat. His injury and suspension toward the end of the season was correlated with a big dip in form and less goals scored. Had he played and been fit during the run in, I think we’d be in top 4.
Also, correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read a lot of tactical analysis that doesn’t agree that Giampaolos CAM is more of a forward, or even that he prefers a creative second striker. Yes the CAM stays high and must find space between the lines, but I’ve seen that he sometimes likes two more classic strikers up top, and that they stay very high and isolated, not swapping with the attacking mid too much. They need to stay high to draw defenders out, there’s no width, so someone needs to stay high and open up the field for the midfielders. In a 4312 that’s vital.
