What to do with the troublesome AM role?

[Snowflake Royal]

Elliott's failed to step up and is always injured. Doyle has failed to step up and has offered next to nothing.

What's the short term solution?

Rino, Savage
Wing?

I really don't see Wing performing at the tip of the spear so to speak, but others do, it seems?

Change of shape to play two upfront? Midfield is already porous. And who is that? Kelvin and MOM. Not really.

Who else can go in that 10 shaped hole?

Camara? Ehibhatiomhan?

Personally I'd stick Kyerewaa in that hole.

I'd like to see what Starman can do further forward and drop Rino in where he is.

I think it depends on what you want an AM to do. If you're looking for a 'do the unexpected' creative outlet, I don't really think we've really got one in the squad.

I could see something like having Ehibhatiomhan or O'Mahony playing in the second striker position behind a Marriott (or a proper centre-forward) would be the most effective thing for us - as it could easily shift into a 4-4-2 when attacking. Certainly wouldn't play them both together from the start of a match (unless Ehibhatiomhan was out wide).

That said, having a Wing or Savage playing AM would allow for us to shift into a more defensive 4-3-3. I'd possibly prefer it to be Savage, as he would have the energy to get up and down the park. Although I'm not sure we should be disrupting Savage at the moment with how he's playing.

I think the biggest issue with playing Kyerewaa there at the moment is our wide options seem to be fairly poor tbh, especially when compared to our alternative AM options, and he seems to be improving when playing wide. I wouldn't mind seeing Camara getting an opportunity there.
