wink about this...it's mostly semantics. What I think we do have is the team to play 4-4-2, but with (providing he returns) Gudjohnsen (or someone similar) to link midfield and attack. Now, technically, he is a striker...so that would be a 4-4-2, and, as such, we could expect more goals from him than a midfielder. At the same time, he would be playing, in many ways, like a midfielder, so it would share aspects with a 4-5-1. Again, not for every game, just when up against the likes of Barca (in the CL final:grin.
Sorry to confuse, MND, I wasn't necessarily advocating 4-5-1, just seeking to show why it would have more chance of working than under Wandery.
My personal belieef about Spurs and 4-5-1, as stated in other threads, is that we really don't have the goals from defence and midfield to compensate for losing a striker. And, as others have said, most of our players are more naturally suited to a 4-4-2,anyway.
But, and I have had a lengthy discussion with someone on here
Only a couple of times for Barca and Mexico. He also said it's the position he prefers to play in.
If we could keep the ball anything like as well as Spain then we might pull it off. Although the 2 wide players in the 4-3-3 work hard and track back, so it really becomes 5 in midfield. It just so happens they're mostly in possession anyway, so the wide players don't need to track back so much.
