Hope The Arena has a wheely ramp for all these Chumps leaving on stretchers.

no idea...it wasn't strictly off-topic either, it just branched off from @davek & mine's discussion on the DDR book he was reading into something more generally East Germany, post-reunification.

Was actually a sound couple of pages from everyone involved.

I'll buy Dave a Pils if he's ever in Berlin, we can continue then.

Personally, I prefer a back 4, but can live with a Back 3...note; Not a Back 5 - if you grasp the difference.
But a proper Back 3 that allows 1 +4 Mid Field (hate 2 DMs )

But - as we all (should) know...Its formation to fit the players you have - Not have the players shoehorned into the formation du jour

If I grasp the difference? What a tit, if you follow me on Twitter or FB you can see my FA qualifications..... you can call it a back 3 but EVERY manager in the league knows you make that a back 5 by pinning your wingers high and wide!!!

If you look at the results and formations played, 4-3-3 is the system that suits these players best and is the system that gets more points so why does Frank keep going back for this 5 at the back monstrocity at every opportunity......

Are you seriously suggesting that in a 4-3-3 we would be shoehorning these players in to that system but not the 5-2-3? Absolute Chump, do you even watch our games or are you a kopite plant?

Gentlemen welcome to The Arena.
