Also the formation that we switched to against Chelsea wasn't 424. It was a 4213 with Kane in the hole (Mick McCarthy wink). Kane would drop deep and then join the attack late in the box.

Would you mind showing me because I've reread the quotes and it doesn't appear to be there?

Conte doesn't say we played 424. He says we played with 4 strikers.
Exactly. Strikers meant strikers in my book. What does it mean to you?

So, hypothetically, if you've got Kulusevski as a RWB and Son as LWB that makes it a 424 in you book??
Clearly not. There were 4 forwards on the pitch but they weren't all in the forward line since Kane was playing much deeper in a creative role and the Wingbacks were pushing up still.

I get the impression,you're being purposely obtuse so don't worry.

There is no wing backs in a 424
