Thread | Is the club locked into playing 4-2-3-1?
at 13:41 23 May 2025
Some other threads have touched on this, but would to dig deeper, apologies if done so already (couldn't find one)
I've read about the club putting in place a common system from youth to adult teams. Makes sense, especially an ethos and way of playing. But does it also lock us into playing 4-2-3-1 all the time?
Putting aside my personal hatred of a single person upfront and no wingers, there's 3 reasons I think this is nuts...
1) You're reliant on a position you can't afford. A striker who is big, holds it up, has pace, can finish. There are none, and if there are we can't afford them. Look at the problems Man U are having.
2) It's predictable - makes it easy for the opposition. Whereas if you mix it up you can surprise them, as I think we did vs Sunderland last game
3) You don't maximise the players you have at that time. As WWC said we have no fullbacks so maybe look at 3-5-2

Like many on here though Gab Sutton might have been at the apperol when he tipped the mackems for the title. Early days I know but they're flying out of the blocks. Hats off, suspect he made a good call based on a lot of hard work and research. Or he's from the future. |
