does not really change much in our attacking options.
When we play 4, Rose and Walker still push up to provide width. If anything, it hurts our attack, because now we have 3 in the back, plus Wanyama who are not part of the attack.
It allows players like Vertonghen and Alderweireld to bring the ball out from the back which forces the opposition to challenge. In those cases it gives us another player moving into midfield and occasionally into attack without compromising the back line to any great extent. I don't see how it hurts our attack.
