"The reason Callum Paterson and Jazz Richards played in central midfield for Cardiff City and why it worked." [Walesonline]
Actually City played 4411 against Sunderland; Richards played left back and Patterson centre left midfield. To accommodate Patterson in that position Ralls, who normally plays clm, switched to centre right midfield. Come on get it right WoL.
Etheridge;
Manga, Morrison, Bamba, Richards;
Mendez-Laing, Ralls, Patterson, Bennett;
Hoilett;
Zohore.
You're both not wrong.
It started off with a back four of of Manga, Morrison, Bamba and Bennett. Patterson and Rails in the middle, NML and Holiett wide and Zohore up front. It surprised me that Jazz Rochards was playing a man marking job on their 27 Gooch. So it was a bit stranger. Second half, just after they had man sent off, Richards appeared to go to left back with Bennet further forward. Not sure what WOL said but that's how I saw it. There was also a lot of interchange when Wilschut cam on.
Richards didn't play left back in the first half, Bennet did. As said above, Richards was man marking GoochQuote:

...............................Etheridge

Even flash score app has it differently 4141 with Bamba between defence and midfield...
The mystery rumbles on.
Dont know what you were watching but after about 5 minutes I commented to my friends that Richards was playing left back and Bennett was playing in front of him at left midfield. Paterson was central with Ralls. Manga was right back. It stayed that way for all the first half and most of the second, apart from when Richards was caught forward, when Bennett filled in at left back. Also Richards did follow one of their players into midfield occasionally but mainly at corners or free kicks or when their attacks broke down. He then reverted back to left back straight after.Quote:

Apart from a few occasions Richards followed Gooch forward, Bennett was 10 yds in front of Richards throughout the game.Quote:
