one central midfielder needs to destroy, and one needs to create.

Heh, I love that. One must destroy.

Don't worry, with Sissoko in there, plenty of play will be destroyed.

Perfect example of a midfield duo that destroyed/created

 

[Ken]

OH SNAP!!

Was that the sound of a record breaking? Now we're stuck with a broken record.

This transfer will only make sense if we still have money left to buy a LB, RM, CB and CM too after we get Dzeko. It doesn't matter if we buy him for 5M, 30M or 50M.

No, a 4411 involves a deep lying striker and a traditional midfield. The wingers defend and attack one central midfielder needs to destroy, and one needs to create. In a true 4231 the wingers abandon their defensive duties and are effectively wing forwards. To play a 4411 successfully you need 2 incredibly fit wingers - kuyt esc. For the 4231 you dont. You need 2 defensive central midfielders. Infact, they are completely different formations

What if one winger tracks back and one doesn't?

What if one winger tracks back and one doesn't?

Then it becomes a 4-3-1-1-1. And if one of the fullbacks is more attacking, then it's a 3-1-3-1-1-1.

Then it becomes a custom formation

a 4-3-3 almost

Then it becomes a custom formation

In that case, a huge number of systems must be seen as 'custom systems' and so there is very little point in arguing about what label to put on a formation, unless a team is playing in a really orthodox fashion.

Oh, unlike the other formations that are pre-set? Del Neri just picks one from the FIFA approved tactics list and the players then automatically know how to play?

 

[IrishZebra]

Formations relate to the players position on the pitch and not their role/instructions...

 

[The Curr]

:dielaugh: at all of this.

custom formations are for teams with players with special roles , case in point Barcelona

Wonderful.

he explained it better then me

Your welcome

most notably our creativity!

What if one winger tracks back and one doesn't?

Its still a 4231, it just means one winger is fitter than the other and its less offensive, it doesn't change the fundamentals. And going by that argument anyway you could say there is no such thing as a formation anyway. Rendering our discussion redundant

Formations can only give vague ideas.

It's the players and the tactics that make a system.

Dzeko's agent has denied Dzeko saying what Bild 'quoted' him saying yesterday btw.

Was obvious.

I wonder how these publications can get away with these outright fabricated "stories".

 

[Hust]

Good stuff here boys.
