As it was my 5k post and I hadn´t realised it I thought this might deserve a thread of it´s own as I think it´s an important point which got lost in another thread.
Apologies in advance for any disturbance to the site!!
Just watching an analysis of Barca the other day
They played a combination of 3-3-4 and 4-4-2
With the 3-3-4 this allows them to play with 2 wide men. Then they switch to 4-4-2 to defend. When attacking tippy-tappy style through the middle they STILL have 2 wingers who can attack
The key to this is Busquets who drops back into CD
I was watching Micah in particular and thinking he doesn´t have the skill to trouble oppo full backs. This is why the oppo allow us to use the present system as they are sure they can cope with it. They don´t think we are a threat with our FB´s
But if Micah played in a back three this would allow us to play 2 conventionally attacking wide men along with the 3 mids when getting forward. This I believe could be the way forward and would start to worry defences away from home much more.
The question would be who would take the Busquets role? Yaya? Or what about Javi Martinez? He would be perfect for that role - absolutely perfect
The other question would be left side. Would we give this role to Kola to bomb on and push forward pinging crosses in? I suppose we already have someone in mind for the right flanK ( Hazard ie)
This system could be the solution to Bob´s dilemma away from home where we seem to have been sussed out
