and the other thing is that although MT says MJ is behind Nicky Law, when Law is out we have played (naturally) Atangana,Collins and Taylor in midfield. I think MT’s emphasis on the physical side of the game means that MJ’s (lack of) height counts against him.
Still 4-4-2 though. Four at the back, two upfront, and 4 somewhere in the middle.
looked more like 3-5-2, with Jay behind the front two to me
was it? From the line up I assumed it was the usual three at the back, Williams and Dickenson as wing backs, Collins and Atangana as holding midfielders with Law/MJ playing behind the front two.
It was....
Not from where I was watching (my sofa)
Yep. I was gonna say that. If Law isn't available or is subbed it's not always MJ that replaces him.
Do the pictures get lost in some kind of Indoneasian translation centre on their way out to you? We played 3-5-2 as we have done for most of the season. Sweeney, Martin and Parkes at the back with Williams and Dickenson out wide at wing back/ wide midfield (depending on your perspective of it). At no point did we play with out and out full backs to play with a back four.
Nothing, we were playing with five or six going forward most of the game. Michael, check your internet provider because they are clearly sending you some garbage............................. either that or you're just talking garbage (it seems strange that the two blokes at either side of the world talk the most cr@p).
We set up the same way in 90% of games. Most people would probably consider 2 wingers (Williams is not really a wingback, is he), 2 strikers AND someone with a 'free role' is actually quite an attacking line up.
