Martin Luther King had a dream - that one day wing backs and full backs would be interchangeable, and that Jim Goodwin would sign a holding midfielder capable of playing more than 180 consecutive minutes in a season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladdin Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I haven't been keeping up with all the changes close season. Are the two wing backs playing wide with of two sitting CMs in the 4? Are the two wider players in the front 3 lining up like inside forwards? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 3 hours ago, WhatDayIsIt said: With a 3-4-3 system you need to your main striker to be dropping deep. That way if he takes a centre half with him, this allows the two wide players to move into the space that has been left, leaving a 2v1 situation with the other centre half. If the centre half doesn't follow the striker and its a midfielder who drops off to mark him, then one of your midfielders needs to be running in behind, along with the two wide players cutting inside to again have a 3v2 overload. Well it's one way of doing it. My first memory of the 3-4-3 was Ivan deploying it in the 1994 Cup Final. As a kid I marvelled at the sheer simplicity and genius of it. Man-mark their two strikers and have Petric sweep up, and use the opposite winger as a second forward. Changed days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) Ryan Strain looks to have seriously injured himself when back-heeling the ball, which is just fcuking fantastic! Hope I'm wrong but had all the hallmarks of a popped achilles. Edited July 16 by ArabFC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
