Manchester United’s loss to Everton highlighted doubts about Ruben Amorim’s formation. Despite playing with an extra player, Amorim stuck with his 3-4-2-1 system, drawing criticism. Crystal Palace’s success with the same formation under Oliver Glasner emphasizes the importance of a balanced defense and center-back positioning, which United lacks. Harry Maguire’s impact on De Ligt’s positioning is discussed, along with Palace’s effective back three and United’s need for improvement. The importance of Palace’s flying wing-backs, Munoz and Mitchell, is highlighted, along with the significance of their midfield set-up compared to United’s. The central midfielders play a crucial role in setting the tone for Palace’s play.
