So many misconceptions about football put together

No. Just no. To all of that. The 4-2-3-1 is very different from the 4-3-3. All the midfield roles are different. They are pretty much the main examples of opposing football ideologies. VERY different midfielders are the ones needed to make a 4-3-3 work. Of formations that are similar, the...

Exactly. None of these formations are blowing any other away on a large scale. Its just about choosing the right systems for your players.
