artursteppe Posted 12 January 2017 Share Posted 12 January 2017 I want 4-1-4-1 with NDidi just in front of the back four with the other four midfielders pushing further forward, just a slight variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALC Fox Posted 12 January 2017 Share Posted 12 January 2017 4-2-3-1 is fine by me if Cafu can play at 10 or as a winger. Ndidi--Mendy Mahrez--DD--Gray or Ndidi/Mendy--DD Mahrez--Cafu--Gray Could swap Mahrez and Cafu as well, then there's Albrighton who can still do a job when required. Competition for places up front though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighPeakFox Posted 12 January 2017 Share Posted 12 January 2017 We have to buy Cafu. Anyone whose surname we can shout ridiculously (Fuchs, Huth) is a mandatory purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to get width from your fullbacks in a 4-3-1-2. I wonder if Albrighton will get tried there as I don't see where he fits in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the left we're fine with Fuchs/Chilwell, but Simpson's footballing ability is too limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way 4-3-1-2 to doesn't fit the football philosophy we were trying to cultivate - turn around possession quickly and break with pace. We completely lose our width without pacey fullbacks that like to bomb forward which can only lead to us sitting even deeper and more than likely trying to stagnate the game and stifle the opposition. It feels more re-active. Change is obviously required as 4-4-2 isn't working the way we played it last season without THAT man in the middle. I'd prefer a 4-3-3 with our current personal at least that would give a little more width whilst retaining the 3 in the middle. Or perhaps even 4-2-3-1 but a number 10 and RB still required.

Yes agree 100% 4-3-1-2 leaves us very narrow unless Albrighton plays as the 3rd central player and drifts wide or the number 10 is Mahrez/Gray and is allowed to drift out wide to help. Chilwell or Fuchs are fine as they both are comfortable getting forward without it looking forced or unnatural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bare in mind this can be used to keep us more compact during away games and then change formation mid game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPinCarolina Posted 13 January 2017 Share Posted 13 January 2017 Am I crazy for imagining that if we could somehow have Fuchs and Chillwell on the pitch at the same time that our back 4 would terrorize opposing midfields with attacking intent?
