Fair enough. Everyone has what he likes. I just believe United have ever played a 4-4-2 game more entertaining better than what we did to Newcastle with 4-2-3-1 in 2003 (6-2) and the 7-1 Roma thrashing.
Truth be told though, rigid 4-3-3 is generally bull and dead dour in entertainment terms. Even Barca and Ajax..the main 4-3-3 users around.. don't play that way. I prefer a fluid formation like a 4-2-3-1 that gives you the best, 4-4-2, 4-3-3 and 4-5-1 can offer. When whenever we've played it, it has worked wonders. For me it should be that for tough matches and European games with 4-4-2 for everything else. If Saha wasn't so i jury prone we would be doing that. I think we are currently one forward short of staying in such a mode.
