From those with minutes to those without any, it’s not exactly the strongest area of the squad…

Amorim’s 10-shaped issue

Calciomercato.com’s assessment is brutal; put simply, the Rossoneri lack quality in their No.10s. So far, Alphadjo Cisse is their best option, but the others are ultimately makeshift. He isn’t struggling with the leap; in fact, he’s a leader of the squa d .

He understands Amorim and is best suited to play in the attacking midfield role.

Alexis Saelemaekers, Adrien Rabiot and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are square pegs in round holes. They work, but they’re far from ideal options. Of course, Saelemaekers and Rabiot have made an impact, too, but they’re better suited to their natural roles.

Then there are the natural fits, Christian Pulisic and Omari Hutchinson. The former is still recovering from the injury, but he’s ‘the only player in the squad capable of truly making a difference’.

Hutchinson is an ‘Amorini-esque’ player, who can start as early as next week, it’s just a case of finding the right tempo. After all, the attacking midfield roles are not cemented and that right No. 10 spot could be his for the taking.
