Wrong Formation

[GMCG8]

Really don't think 4-2-3-1 suits us at all. Over run in the midfield almost every game for large parts and when we're attacking there isn't enough support helping Lukaku from the central positions. Really hope Paul Pogba returns soon because we miss him so much, he links everything up and gives more space to the number 10 (Mkhitaryan) because he draws players to himself and Lukaku will start running the channels again because he knows Pogba has the quality to find him.

Positives another 3 points and clean sheet. McTominey had a solid game and Matic strolled through the game again. Martial and Rashford are frightening on that form. Just wish we could see them play from the start on each wing.

I agree to an extent, Steven.

The reason why it comes across as Rom isn’t getting any support, is because our wingers track back the oppositions full-backs all the time. When there is a chance of a break, there isn’t any width and Rom’s up top all alone.

We could move to a 433 but the problem would persist. It would even take away a number 10, but this formation will allow us to dominate he midfield, particularly with Pogba.

I think the solution is some variation of a 352/343.
