Not coming out of this 3 ATB is fireable. It's arrogant.

When, at any point in this match, have the wingbacks been defending?

What 5???? Where do you see 5?

Starting a 3-5-2 with two players out of position and playing 3-3-4 is not safety. It's immature.

Thanks. Make changes to win. Right now.

What are you talking about?

Posters calling out the players have to look at the formation, what the wings are being asked, the space behind them, the stress put on Wilf and Youri, then ask why the tactics are like this. If I did this to my 16s, they would do me in at the half.

Horrible take. Watch the build up. Look at the passing lines. Or lack thereof.

Thank you! You cannot play a high possession game in a 3 ATB with obscenely high wings.

of course we are. look at our setup. This is UEFA B level lessons...

How do you propose the ball advances to the box in the first place?

They're trying! Look at the positioning of the WBs and the Newcastle lines.

Terrible take. Look at the passing lanes set up right now. All of the turnovers are coming because the wings are so up high and there isn't a 3rd midfielder to look to. This is awful to watch.

Where do you see a back 5?

So why go 3 ATB?

Sure. Or simply switch to a 4-3-3...

Trying to attack from a 3-5-2...

Over and over. You can't play 3 ATB and turn it into a 3-3-4.

A back 3 where you're asking your wings to push so high and not cover is going to leave so many holes behind. West Ham exposed nearly all of them today. 3-5-2 is not a 3-7 despite the side trying to play it as such.

Why do you think that was?

West Ham: 3 Back 3: 0 West Ham: 0 Back 4: 2

Shocking.

He's being pummeled by a squad with 33 year-old Mark Noble running the middle of the pitch.

They're also in a 3-7

Very good. How does that impact the manager's decision to completely shit in the wet bed with his tactics?
