Like I said earlier any formation only succeeds with the right players in the correct positions. Tonight does NOT fall under that category. It definately feels like he's shoehorned players into this system tonight.

Friday night was a master class in everything that can go wrong with 5 at the back. It forces us to play a high line as the wing backs have to go forward and one cb usually plays advanced as well. That causes us to have loads of possession and not create anything but then the opposition get through our "defence" on the half way line and score with almost every attack. Our high line pushes the rest of the team further up till there's 21 players in the opponents half, and no space for anyone and none behind their defence. With 5 at the back our defence don't know when to attack or defend and we look far more likely to concede. Lets have 4 defenders who know they are there to defend and lets have our attacking players attack. 1
lgfualol Posted 10 May 2021 Posted 10 May 2021 Matheus Pereira? Decent stats at West Brom, would probably be much better for us (when we're on it). Plus he's Brazilian. 1
