True, although the 4-4-2 is not that frequently used outside the British Isles. And even within them, teams are increasingly moving away from it.ShootersHillGuru said:
I think your statement proves my point. We are not and nowhere near a top level team.Chrispy51 said:
Apart from in almost every top-level team in Europe where a single striker and support players is preferred...ShootersHillGuru said:I'm not saying any one system is better or worse than any other but 4-4-2 is the most popular system in the footballing world. It's that for a reason. Any team that cannot revert to that system as and when it's required is deficient in either players or coaching.
The latest movement is back to a 3-5-2/3-4-3. I think on the opening weekend something like all but four teams played with a back three. But these things are cyclical.
Personally, if we were going to change formation I'd think a 3-4-3 would make better sense for the players we have, especially given our quality in depth at CB. DaSilva is very much a wing back, and I think Solly could do a job on the right, or maybe RCC or Barnes with their athleticism. Alternatively, someone like Fosu or Holmes could be tried on the right. Something Dortmund sometimes did last year in their 3-4-3 was play one full back and one winger, so perhaps something like that, especially if Solly gets hurt.0 -

I actually wouldn't mind adding a Danny Haynes style player now. We miss having a bit of pace up front, someone to get behind the two centre halves. Even just as a plan B sub option21

Have Arsenal got any players left we can borrow?3

Clarke really didn't get a fair crack when he was with us to be fair to him, not saying he is a world beater but seems to score goals at most clubs he played forElfsborgAddick said:3 -
Must be some loans available. where is Thomas Dreisden when you need him?3

You might be right but I still have flashbacks now of him coming on as a sub at the valley and running knees up to his chest going nowhere fast as he tried to chase a ball down. Either the pitch was a quagmire, which it wasn't or someone had swapped his boots for a pair of deep sea diver's, which they hadn't.Pelling1993 said:

Charlton have completed the signings of St Truiden duo, Igor Vetokele and Christian Ceballos on 9 year deals. The Pair will sign for a combined £8 million pounds . Katrien Meire, Chief Executive added " we feel that signing these 2 great players will boost us for our top 12 push. When we found out they were available , it was a no brainer in finally spending some money to get the club where it belongs, 9th in League 1. We hope the customers will now be happy"10

That type of striker would be ideal and KR has pretty much said that himself.AFKABartram said:I actually wouldn't mind adding a Danny Haynes style player now. We miss having a bit of pace up front, someone to get behind the two centre halves. Even just as a plan B sub option
But listen, you know what it’s like. Do we need anything? Probably that quick number nine in case we want to change things.

Danny Haynes had problems, too. I recall him coming on as sub, sprinting to the action on the other side of the pitch - and pulling up sharp with another torn hamstring!RedChaser said:

Shocking that's he's now playing for Cray Wanderers. You'd have thought that he'd either be playing for a league team (as he's clearly good enough) or retired through injury.harveys_gardener said:

Sad really but at least his hamstring issues were genuine unlike a certain Mr M Bent who had his personal sniper sitting in the Upper West called into action if he didn't fancy it after 20 minskillerandflash said:
