Will we ever see the end of 4-2-3-1?

[Zezti]

Big fan of his "2-0-8" formation when we're needing a goal and he just throws on whatever tf and hopes for the best.

The rs are a good example of a team that plays 4-3-3 with no decent midfielders. They play 2 attacking fullbacks and 3 journeymen who can run up and down the pitch, and then 3 quick, skilful forwards. It seems to work for them.

Helps when you have clinical forwards as well

Mane and firminho goals today were both great finishes

Big Dom would have hit the corner flag

It's also more predicated on winning the ball back. Kinda hard to do that without 3 forwards.

I think until Gbamin is fit and we go in for a CM in January - its all about grinding out results the 1st half of the season.

We simply don't have the midfield 3 to go 4-3-3 at the moment - had Gbamin stayed fit we could have done it with Delph alongside him and Gomes pushed slightly forward but I imagine the plan was:

Gbamin Docoure

Gomes

The fact one didnt sign for us and the other is crocked isnt ideal for us.

You might not like him, but cancer is no laughing matter.

Bit harsh that mate

Bit sensitive

this is what’s wrong with people....ffs this.

It was a comparison on a forum.

Always looking to be offended.

He is a an infectious lump ffs

Silva is too intransigent to ever switch it up.

I just don’t think any of our strikers suit playing the lone striker role and Rich is uncomfortable out right. If he’s now gonna be insistent on Iwobi replacing Bernard I think we might suit something like this more especially with our attacking full-backs.

Pickford
Coleman Keane Mina Digne
Sigurdsson Gomes Delph
Iwobi
Richarlison Keane​
