Square peg in round hole does indeed mean the wrong person in the wrong place.
I did get thrashed by City in that formation, so I have taken a pragmatic view and reverted to the 4-2-3-1 formation this squad is more set up for (and I also use my favourite 4-1-3-2 formation). Results have been a bit mixed, but I am 4 points off the top 4, with the top of the table way in the distance, so it is quite realistic.
However, the January window saw me buy 'potential' (staying true to my imagination that established 'top' players would not come at the moment) that will allow me to move towards Amorim's system. I didn't spend all the money, either, but did offload a few existing players to create more spending capability.
Having reached February 2025 and the window shut, I'm just about to return to the 'Amorim style', so I'm looking forward to seeing if I can make it work.
Excellent result yesterday IRL. Maybe his focused training is already starting to work, although there might well be a reality check when they play Arsenal on Wednesday...

@CO88LER5 I actually think the Amorim formation suits the current squad quite well. There are plenty of players, who can fit several positions, e.g. Mazraoui as RCB/RWB, Shaw as LCB, LWB, Fernandes and Mount as CM/CAM, Garnacho and Amad as CAM or RWB/RM, Rashford and Zirkzee as CAM/ST etc. This provides a few good options to rotate and use these players in several positions.
I would have the LM/LWB as my first priority myself. Perhaps Alphonso Davies, if he is available, being in his final year at Bayern. Having already signed de Ligt and Mazraoui from them, this could actually make sense. Another option could be Aït Nouri, Miguel Gutiérrez, Alvaro Carreras or one of the Sporting guys; Geny Catamo or Geovany Quenda perhaps. The latter has mostly played on the right so far, but being a left-footer maybe he could also make it on the left.
