The 3-4-3 Amorim system provides time on the ball in deeper positions and draws centre backs out of the defensive line.
Hojlund—this is his game. The system is perfect for him; he should make these runs all day.

Amorim:
"I am improving the way I should play Casemiro. I am not putting Casemiro pressing really high, our team is well connected, that is helping Casemiro, in short space he can understand where the ball is going. I understand better the characteristic of the players."

The last one on Man Utd (for now)
This tactical camera gives an image of how the 3-4-3 can be exploited.
They can't get pressure on the ball. Zirkzee has a 3v1, including the GK. If anyone jumps, Brighton can find an easy pass out.

The build-up to the winning goal.
The attacking transition has been a huge strength of Forest's play this season.
Control it, and it takes a huge strength away.
Liverpool have the firepower to sacrifice their full-backs and ensure they take care of the Forest wingers in the attacking phase

At Anfield, from 60 minutes, Forest had numerous counter-attacking opportunities.
Nuno had sucked Liverpool into attacking with their full-backs with conservative, wide players, and then the subs (Elanga, Hudson-Odoi) changed the dynamic.

Forest went to Anfield and kept the dangerous counter-attacking wide players on the bench until the 60th min.
As the game opened up, they took full advantage.
Liverpool need to control these spaces when in possession. Forest are waiting to spring as soon as they win it back.

This leads to a Partey shot where Jesus follows in to score.
It's a goal Arsenal don't often score, creating in the chaos.

This was the case for the first goal.
Brentford can easily end up in a 7-3 or 8-2 formation when the 4-4-2 lines are so compact.

Brentford played with the most compact 4-4-2 low block you will see all season.
The problem with it against top teams is that there is no escape.
Want to play short passes to link before springing the counter attack? Arsenal will steal the ball back immediately.

The Amorim system requires centre-backs to step out and mark. This is one of multiple examples where the back three mark no players or one
This leaves them outnumbered in central midfield and ultimately leaves the centre-backs to solve more problems close to goal
