    Well we started very sharp on Friday and ended up losing. So this is extremely encouraging

    I thought we keep being told we can't play 442 as the midfield will be ripped to shreds. So wingbacks aren't the answer either then. 
    What you on about.. Nobody is playing 442. Both teams have 3 midfielders
    I was making the point that posters on here are wanting to go back to 442 but it being pointed out that going back to the "old" system wouldn't work as the midfield would be over run.....but it seems  that we are being overrun playing with wingbacks. 

    Jeez......not hard to see what I was saying. 
    So you're saying that if we're getting overrun with a 3-man midfield... then we should try a 2-man. 

    I can see why I was confused.

    Pearce scared me then. I thought he was going to take the guy out and give away a penalty 
    If he got closer he might've done.

    This will be a shock to many but the Liverpool match just about shades this one in terms of quality. Although saying that, Man U wouldn't look out of place in our game

    No. Try again

    Maybe try 4 or 5......

    Also 442 means 4 in midfield. Or arent wingers/wide players allowed to move. Perhaps in netball or subuteo they dont.

    A Subbuteo goalkeeper is more likely to come off his line.

    And his throwing would be better, too.

    I dont think it's the formation that's the problem. Moreso the players & the manager.

    49 year old Wes hoolahan breezed through our midfield there. Beautiful stuff.

    We may line up as 3-5-2 but that’s not what we play.  We play 3 CB with a RB, a defensive Midfielder with 2 other geezers wandering aimlessly about, plus a deep left winger bringing a threat from a distance, and a big bloke and a runner up front.  Not sure how you would adequately explain that, maybe a 3 and 1 over there to the right - 1 with 2 looking about somewhere and 1 on the left side - 2 formation
