In many respects it's always been our best formation. Two seasons ago we used it but far too often the full backs weren't allowed past the halfway line, which pretty much made it redundant against the better teams. The switch to something akin to 442 last season worked pretty well on the whole although I'd say the run in post Arsenal Tevez came into the line up which naturally gave us a player who would drop deep and the goals flowed.
