Suso being best player means nothing if there is no offensive production and the often service does not exist. Spalletti is not a bad coach but he is not to make the big changes needed. For example 4-2-3-1 with Piatek and Suso in the 1 and 3 is not going to magically work just cause new coach.
Agree that there will be difficulties. BUT, it could work much better if he changes the movements of the players for example. Currently, our 433 looks like a "classic" 433, especially on the right side. By that, I mean Suso nevee comes centrally to receive the ball. He ALWAYS stays wide and receives the ball wide. Even so, when he manages to put in the cross, there is no movement in the box other then the 2 (or sometimes 1) players that are in there. No runs from deep midfield. Suso's crosses aren't terrible to be fair. He does put in several dangerous ones per game. We never capitalize because we don't have the numbers in the box and we don't have the 1 or 2 runs from midfield that many times go untracked and are difficult for a defensive line to deal with a they would have to pick them up very late.
Also, if Suso starts going centrally to receive the ball, he himself can become a run in the box if the fullback overlaps, gets the ball, and crosses. Automatically you have 3 players in the box (CF, LW, Suso). Add a late midfield run or 2 (let's say the ACM and opposite CM), and you are flooding the box with 5 players attacking a cross.
You still have 1 of the CMs back to cover, plus the 2 CBs and the opposite fullback (LB)...which gives you 4 players to break up a potential counter. Keep in mind, if the other team tracks all these runs into the box, they won't have numbers to start a counter to begin with.
Point is, the formation is 1 thing. How the movents happen is the important part. So a formation can look drastically different from the way the movements are interpreted.
