Wrong, I was making the point that when we play 4231 we have almost no midfield. I didn’t just use Barcelona 2011 to compare us to, I used the 2017 passing maps of Real Madrid, Manchester City and PSG to show just how bad our midfield play is compared to these teams. I was using this to advocate switching formations to 433.
Guess what? Before we know it, Max switches to a 433 and we start playing better football. Who knew that having an extra man in midfield could help us circulate and maintain the ball better.
