I said a few pages back we was in a false position.
From my understanding phil has been trying to help people and they have not been listening. The impression i got anyways.
People can blame the formation all they want but its by far the most simple formation to play. With 4 at the back formations for example you need at least one midfielder playing a very defensive role not getting forward at all and jsut sat in front of the back 4. You also need the rest of the midfield to help out the defence.
When we tried play 4 at the back we was 2-0 up the midfield wasn't holding its postion or keeping the ball well enough and we ended up going 3-2 down and only a late goal saved us from defeat.
In my experience team who play 4 at the back often just charge forward and leave them selfs very open at the back.
The only other 2 formation i can see working in this club are 4 3 3 with the dm just sat deep protecting the back 4 and the 2 cms getitng up and down the pitch helping both attack and defence. Or 4231 with 2 dms sat in midfield controlling the game 3 cams and a st.
So as i said any change in formation is going to need disciplined midfielders who dont just charge forward every chance they get. Cause you dont have the protection of the 5 just sat at the back.
