Alas, I would have to agree.Unfortunately I doubt we'll ever solve the set piece paradox
Interesting that you say occasionally Chadli because for Belguim he is ahead of Dembele for that role, he has been brilliant at playing smart balls to Benteke and the in cutting wingers of De Bruyne, Hazards and Martens. He has been playing that role for the last 18 months and the fact he played in the middle on saturday makes me think he may play there for us more often than people think
Some people seem to think that 4-3-3 is a certainty. Firstly let me say that there are many more learned people than I when it comes to player info and specific info on strategy and tactics, Having said that, I think we can all agree that no one can say with any certainty (even you Snarf you fucking freak) how we will shape up next season
One question i've often deliberated over is the differences and similarities between 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3. My understanding is that those formations have more in common with each other than they have differeneces. My take on these 2 different formations is that in a 4-2-3-1 you can have a natural number 10, playing behind Buffalo soldier, but in a 4-3-3 the more advanced player in the MF 3 I would imagine would be encouraged to get forward and join the attack nit st the same time he would be expected to pixk the ball up and drop back deeper.
Very interesting read indeed - may I ask what your background is?
How about Townsend?
Him in a 4-3-3 counter attacking role would be devastating IMO.
I don't think there's any need to spend £30m on another player when we have potential like Townsend here.
where would you play Townsend?
just general 16 year old lad who enjoys watching and studying football
Which Castillo?
So much for the 433 eh ?
I thought the fullbacks were a little weak.

I missed the first half of the game (personal reasons) but in the second half they didn't have too much on an influence in the game, I heard Danny Rose was poor, from what I saw he wasn't at his best, his execution in the final third was off and he got too caught up with this little scuffle with the Espanyol winger. I personally thought Walker was ok, his direct running and charges through the centre was pleasing to see and he never made a defensive error It was also interesting to see him deployed in a flat defensive 3 man midfield in the final minutes of the game when Kevin Stewart came on!
