Our game against Leeds once again proved that starting both Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo is our best option right now. Starting Mbeumo off the bench with Benjamin Sesko starting as a lone striker didn't pay us well. When Amad and Mbeumo are on the pitch together, there is a level of unpredictability and directness that keeps defenders on their toes. By leaving Mbeumo out of the starting eleven, we lost that outlet, and the service to the front line became predictable and easy to cut out. At least to some point now, we can agree that Šeško is always the best coming off from the bench. He has that "super-sub" energy where he can exploit tired legs with his height and movement, but when he starts, he often gets swallowed up by fresh defenders who have the discipline to mark him out of the game. He thrives in the chaos of the final thirty minutes, not the tactical chess match of the first sixty. Michael Carrick needs to avoid overthinking the lineup. We are at our most dangerous when we have our most creative and clinical wingers stretching the play from the first whistle. Putting Šeško into a starting role just for the sake of having a traditional striker up top isn't working if it means sacrificing the chemistry between Amad and Mbeumo. Let's stick to what actually creates chances and puts points on the board. ❤️✌️ --- *Football news by OddsFlow — AI predictions, verified and timestamped*
