I dont think we looked good but I absolutely agree that 433 is a much better option for these players.I thought we looked good if not great in the first half. 4-3-3 meant we were actually winning a midfield battle for once. Winks sitting centrally, Sissoko and LoCelso coveting a lot of ground, LoCelso also getting forward. Typical three man midfield performance I thought. One holder, one ball winner, one box to box.
Second half we seemed to switch back to 4-2-3-1 which left Winks trying cover all areas and leaving gaps again. Sissoko looked kinda lost, and LoCelso was often too far forward.
4-3-3 just seems to suit us better, IF we can get the right balance for the roles. I was hoping NDombele would come on for Sissoko and see what difference that would make with our forward play.
The 3 across the midfield helps them as when we play in a two we always struggle defensively covering the space.
