I’m getting hammered with work just now and would always rebalance the rest of my week around the game but am I fuck racing back and forth tonight to be served up with shite
Not often I am on a different page from you mate, but I always assumed the reason many managers like 4 2 3 1 is that it gives you 4 to attack quickly, but also 4 to defend (8- 6 + 7 -11) the 10 coming back as well when needed making five. My belief is that it is not the system that is wrong but the players are not switched on or good enough to play it. We have to remember the hellish number of injuries we have as well.
Most of the problems on Sat come down our left side with Borna and Silva (who both attacking wise did not bad I thought) but defensively were poor.
It is all about opinions but I don't think it is the system if players could do what is required.
