Its not 5 at the back.
Its 442.
Coleman Right Mid.
...whatever it is, it’s not surprising we can’t get up the pitch. This team in this shape is incapable of taking the game to the opposition. It’s not about attitude.
Sigurdsson again in this odd deep lying left midfield role doubling up on Traore means no way out on the left. Coleman gets the ball infield and looks out wide to green grass so passes back. Dreadful balance, all geared to not conceding.
Its a bit like an away game where we might just pinch a goal but until we play an uncomplicated back four ahead of a midfield containing two orthodox wide players then it’ll continue to be more of the same.
Square pegs & round holes aplenty, very odd.
