You're not even following are you + forgetting what claims actually were
Claim was Bellingham was going to be moved to play in 4-3-3 to accommodate for 3 forwards - it happened
Thus far worked as expected - Bellingham playing reasonably well even if not scoring as much as last year when used as false 9
Yes it happened, and the result was awful. Hence Carlo moving back to last year's system
COPE BETTER
Nobody claimed that moving down to his old position would be without consequences
You, for once, claimed it will be a piece of cake, since tap-in merchant played there at BvB 'without problems'
That alone tells everything about your level of understanding
This is nothing but the next stage in experimenting trying to find best way to play without Kroos present in team
The experiment was what you saw until now. From now on, there is no more 'experiment' as the leak above clearly declares. It's reverting to the system that worked last season with Modric or some other md taking Kroos place,
instead of shifting tactics and formations.
You have a problem defining concepts such as 'experiment'
So far with Rodrygo is performing poorly - or rather, the other 2 are much better than he is while he isn't helping enough - Guler also not used as much (no one really knows why either) and best sub arguably for over a year has been Brahim
This means RW is likely to be used less in meantime and Camavinga to slot in at LCM
It's not that Rodrygo perfomed poorly. If that was the case a straight swap with Brahim or Guler would have been the solution.
Instead, the case is that the new formation unbalanced everything. RW is not needed
This is unlikely to be a go-to mechanism full season as means currently we're working on assumption Alaba will be fit enough to play CB - if not, Tchouameni would be moved down and Bellingham back where started in event of inevitable fatigue, injuries & suspensions. That or played together with other CAMs where it's clear as day he's the best CM while Camavinga used as CDM
Most likely than not, it will be the go-to mechanism.
If you are short of defenders, and Tchouameni has to play there, Ancelotti will pick Cama, Valverd, Modric/Ceballos in md, and won't change the diamond
We are here to see it.
PS: So far, you took a huge L.
Don't mess with things like tactics that you are short of
PS: COPE!!
Your tap-in merchant is not as good as you pose.
And he is not your father or son to always defend him (like you do with coward-y Zizou and some others as well)
