Should we play 3-4-2-1?

Baines and Coleman would play as wingers.

 

[Efcjake]

No. 3 at the back is just going to lead to more aimless passing in the back line between them.

 

[Fresh Prince of Belle Val]

No, to be fair we kind of do that anyway. With Barry slightly infront in the CB's.

Some day some manager is going to go back to the future and play two men up front.

And he will terrorise these central defenders used to dealing with a lone striker.

Rom and Kone.....the dream team up top for us.....

 

[BlueLlama]

That is a truly gash formationto be fair with player out of position.

Big no.

Whatever happened to 4-4-2, I'd like 2 up front and only 1 defensive mid.

 

[Alex Hindmarsh]

I always thought 4312 could be a shout for us.

Baines and Coleman provide the width, and it occupies the oppositions two centre backs with a mixture of pace and power. Means Barkley gets a bit more of a chance to drive from deep lying positions with E'too being the main creator. McCarthy and Besic to cover Coleman and Baines in the engine room. Flexible to change aswell.

Just imagine TWO Kone's now that would be frightening .

Yep I'm with you given the lack of decent wingers.
