Say NO to Ginger Managers
Gone are the days of the old back four, the 4-4-2, where the fullbacks sat back and absorbed pressure, before winning the ball and setting the wingers off to chase the ball. With the progression of football, we have had this change over the last few years where managers have played one man up front, with wingers playing as inside forwards and a flooded midfield of three. The increasing use of the 4-5-1, 4-3-3, 3-5-2, and shift away from 4-4-2 has seen the managers who are able to fluidly adapt their formation to best fit their opponents weaknesses or their teams strengths be successful.
This change has seen fullbacks take on the role of wingbacks, expected to provide support for the wingers as well as still performing their defensive duties. Out with the likes of Hibbo, defensively solid but not much give technically or attacking, and in with Coleman, Oveido Baby and Baines, replete with technique, boss tekkers, and the pace and sense of positioning to get back as well as forward. Think Cafu, but in Royal Blue. Boss.
But with these players pushing forward, and with us being a team that treats the ball like a security blanket, what happens when we lose the ball? Won't it be just the two center backs left stranded like Magaye and Andy Reid at a fitness session? This is where M. Chaussures Brun steps in. While we may start off with a back four, when we push forward and our wingbacks push up, one of our snide defensive midfielders slots in between the back two, providing cover, and meaning we fluidly move into a 3-4-3.
So with tactical fluidity built on defensive solidity the name of the football game, we, the School of Science anew are striding with "Arrogance" down a path lit with success and attacking freedom writ all on it.
With the faith in our solid foundations at the back,and James "the little engine that could" Macca snapping or sliding anything that moves, Barkley, Super Kev and Del can express themselves. The platform is laid for them to bring out the boss tekkers to beat a man, knowing that should they lose it the 4 Horsemen of Moyes, Round, Woods and Lumsden won't be charging at them bringing forth the end of days. Instead they have a smooth Spaniard, gesturing at them in a dapper jacket and long pants, encouraging them to do it again.
We sit 5th, a point behind fourth with a game in hand and six to come. Champions League, its no laughing matter. 6 on the trot now, and that winning run needs to keep on coming. But no matter what the end result, this year has been full of promise and hope, a renewal of the School of Science, and one of Everton Football Club. We have a progressive manager, a dressing room dripping positivity, and best of all, players stride with the ball at their feet without fear, playing the Everton way. Sin Meido.
