just to be clear, currently, sporting play wingers as wingbacks on both sides, not just one, both quenda and maxi yesterday are natural wingers, in his first season at sporting he played two natural fullbacks there, pedro porro and nuno mendes, he can do it all, he'll go with the best option for the players you currently have for those wingback roles, maybe an academy kid like he did with nuno mendes when he was just 17 and quenda now at 17, as long you're good enough to play, you're old enough to play
I think Hojlund is closer to Gyokeres than we think. He was made to feed the ball to the wingers. And on top of that the wingers barely passed or cross the ball to him. The way Erik had him playing was not really playing to Rasmus' strengths. He was made to be a target man rather than the forward he's capable of being. Hopefully Amorim has him facing the goal more, that would be ideal because he's got lightning pace, it needs to be utilised.
I actually agree with Joe on Antony
we (and everyone really) regard him as bad because we're judging him as a winger/inside forward like most wingers are when in reality he's a lot like Gosens; he'd fit the defensive winger mould a lot more if he played on his foot sided flank, and in a 3-4-2-1 that's really what the flanks are; not wing backs or full backs, not wingers or inside forwards - defensive wingers.
He's hard working defensively, and he's just good enough technically to play a supporting role going forward, Ten Hag even played him as a left back in our FA cup game against Liverpool when we were chasing the win last season.
Nobody's gonna want to sign him with the wages he's on, and we don't really have anyone else that isn't 17 years old right now, so it honestly couldn't hurt to at least give him a run out in that position till it's filled (or by him hopefully if he finally really takes to it)
He'd take some convincing, but Amorim is a charismatic man, pretty sure he could do it
There's your next advert Joe shave around the base to make it look bigger😂

The short term goal for Ruben would be to bring the best out of this squad for the rest of the season

Amorin gave debuts to 21 teenagers according to Statman Dave. Amass will surely get a chance at LWB. His game seems really suited to the position.
