Puel's Diamond Formation

Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello all !

I'm french, sorry for my poor english (as bad as Puel's).;)

 

Compared to Leicester, Nice team had different player's profiles, their diamond was based on fast midget midfielders with good football IQ (Mendy, Koziello, Seri) and Ben Arfa had a lot of freedom, playing anywhere on the front line.
They played 4-4-2 in attack and when they lost the ball, if they couldn't recover it within a few seconds they switched to defensive formation 4-5-1.

There's a good webpage about Puel's tactics with Nice, the funny things is the conclusion, the writer thought although the tactics were good, they couldn't reach the top 5 because the team level was average, they finished 4th (2 points behind Lyon and Monaco).

It's in french, but you can grasp some of the explanations through Google translate :

I like the look of this side and you can be flexible both attacking and defensively.

Exactly this. Fuchs can swap with Chilwell. Gray can start right side against more defensive sides. Slimani or Ihenacho can also parter Vardy, whilst Shinji could do a job at 10, as could King (if desperate). When Silva's available we can also play a flatter 3 in the middle if required. Maguire can also bring the ball out with less fear about leaving someone 1 on 1 with Wes. 

 

This is suits us so much better.

please no more Fuchs and we may as well have Albrighton replace Simpson rather than have him on the bench.

Albrighton surely cannot be at rb, 1-on-1 he'll get ripped apart
