i still think only 1 stayed wide at any given point, but i do agree with the rest of what you are saying
All I remeber is that Glenn Hoddle tried this with us, when he was in charge and it was a complete disaster ( like the season). Howeer, Ramos is clearly much better at ensuring a clear understanding of this formation ...
3-1-3-1-2?Except that we didn't play a 3-5-2 on Thursday.
3-1-3-1-2?
in this formation, are players like Routledge and Lennon surplus to requirement?
I like the 3-5-2 formation, but also the 3-1-4-2 is interesting.
Chimbonda, Dawson, Zokora and Bale.
See, yanno, a back 3. :up:
:wink:
Do you not feel that Lennon could play in the hole? If he gets the opportunity to drop, turn and run centrally at the CB's he would win us countless free kicks.
My idea of a workable 3-5-3 is 3 central defenders ( maybe King, Dawson and one from Rocha, Gardner and Kaboul or hopefully someone better in Jan ) and the midfield 5 should include 2 wing backs ( who could well be Chimbomba and Bale ). No place for Lennon though unless given one of the 3 CM positions. Playing 2 attacking full backs as part of a back 3 with Dawson maybe ok if you are chasing the game but I don't think it could ever be a realistic starting line up.
