Yes, the classic 4-2-2-2. The one Brazil won a few world cups with.
Which relies on attacking FB's but leaves you terribly exposed at the back, great for going forward though.
Only problem is, Roy ends up playing it as a defensive formation and wonders why we get kicked around?
Roys post match comments paraphrased:
Unfortunate to lose Torres so early so had to manage with what we had available. Blackpool are a good team and were up for the fight, we deserved something for our second half performance
rolleyes
and then criticises the quality of player who was at pool when he arrived.
Which is a own goal of epic-proportions, considering Poulsen was his signing and wouldnt even make a Championship player.
