Re: Formation - Style

I have often wonder over the last 14 months as to whether we'd be better off going to a 3-5-2 formation, the squad to me seems to suit this setup really well over-all with some exceptions of course but our biggest struggle has been creating clear chances for the strikers - being a little slow/sometimes not as direct as perhaps we could or should be


The trouble with a 3-5-2 would be how best to accommodate perhaps our two most flair players in Gray and Patrick Roberts - but in 4-2-3-1 we seem to ask one of our strikers to play against their main strengths.

Is it formation thats the problem or have we not recruited as sensibly as we should have - needing a LB and a CAM seemed like vital things over the summer to most of us and we still seem to be lacking in those areas
