Re: now that we have...

you CAN play with wingers and wingbacks - you just tuck the wingers inside slightly. then when you're attacking you should have 5 players involved

So you have 3 centre backs, 2 defensive midfielders, 2 wing backs who play wide, 2 wingers who aren't on the wing but are attacking midfielders who are quite wide, and one solitary striker without another attacker within 50 yards of him? Nurse, nurse, we've found another one....

Nonsense

I mean there are plenty of examples of teams playing like that.

Pep when he was at Bayern with Robben and Ribery either side of Lewandowski

LOL

Elite players playing for elite clubs who 90% of the time come up against a low block so can afford to play with so many attacking players.

Weve only just learned to pass it from defence to midfield, we havent quite managed to coach attacking plays that create overloads for our wingers / full backs and yet you think we could play with wing backs and inverted wingers. :hehe:

Dream on.

I was watching Morison on Tuesday speaking to his assistant in a mouthpiece during the game who was then speaking to the analyst who was sat in the grandstand watching the game on an iPad and playing back the previous passage of play and relaying it back to Morison.

It really helped :hehe:

that's just one example off the top of my head.
do I really need to trawl through all the clubs playing with 3 at the back in the EFL to find someone at a similar level to us who is playing a similar system to this?

Plenty play 3 at the back you are talking about playing 3 at the back, wingbacks AND wingers. Its a nonsense. The only way to play it with our squad is with 2 x 10s (Colwill and Swayers) and a striker or 1 x 10 and 2 strikers. We have not just signed 4 actual wingers / wide forwards to then play a wing back formation and use those wingers on the inside. Simple logic really. Youve clearly played too much FM.

Sheff U is the one that springs to mind at our level who did something left field, but not what you are suggesting. Wilding played 3 at the back and the centre halves overlapped the wingbacks. 3 in central midfield and 2 upfront. They did not play with wing backs AND wingers.

You couldn't even do that as you'd have no defensive midfield cover unless your attacking midfielders or wingers provided that.

Youd have 2 in centre midfield as suggested by RJK in opening post. But then he also suggests Ralls should be dropped, which again isnt very logical as hes the captain so cant see Morison doing that either.

[J R Hartley]

Re: now that we have...

Furthermore, I dont think weve loaded the squad with central midfielders and wingers to then revert back to a wingback style formation with 2 in CM. Morison likes to have 3 in midfield regardless of wether hes playing 3/5 at the back or 4 at the back.
