I think Poch often went too defensive while playing it, as in lining up two holding midfielders along with 5 defenders on the field. Drop Eriksen into the Dembele role and rotate some version of Dele/Son/Lamela/Lucas in behind Kane and its plenty of firepower on offense. I don't like using it against teams that are likely to park the bus but it just gives us the option. Plus Toby probably passes better than Dembele or Dier anyways.Wasn't the back 3 with Sanchez/Jan/Toby the formation we started with last season and we could barely score until we went back to a back 4?
