To be fair, SG says he is using 2 No 10s rather than wingers, with overlapping fullbacks.
So arguement may be over implementation rather than system
If you have a player who is as talented with either foot as Hagi is then your wasting 50% of his talent in the wings he was made for the center running at defender’s with Morelos drifting left or right shouldn’t be a problem for Hagi to string a pass or have a pop. He would then be a nightmare for defender’s.
As soon as Hagi moved to the centre against Livi he strings a pass to Arfield please, please keep him there.
