The idea is to have 4 in midfield so it should have midfield control.Anyone who plays 4222 is rather clueless imho. It's 442 without the midfield control and defensive solidity.

4222 works fine but not when you play a winger and a striker in the middle 2Anyone who plays 4222 is rather clueless imho. It's 442 without the midfield control and defensive solidity.

I like your optimism, but I really think we will struggle again.Surely we won't play as bad as we did against Newcastle. Missing the two games cost us any momentum we had built. The two week plus layoff hurt, we looked like a team that had not played or trained in over two weeks. I fully expect a response today and a comfortable win.
We played 2 days ago. Good squad management tbf.Fred having an impressive first two games under Ralf is suddenly dropped?
You may get that somewhere in the FF but this is the Match Day thread. You're lucky you're getting full sentences.Silly me for coming to this forum to get quality discourse and to detox from the social media platform sphere.
I’m being reactionary myself - there’s some quality posters here to be fair.
so he just shouldn’t play it4222 works fine but not when you play a winger and a striker in the middle 2
Yes but it's not 442, it's 4222 with wingers. So we're not gonna have midfield control.The idea is to have 4 in midfield so it should have midfield control.
100%. And sure enough he starts while Rashford, Varane and Fred get benched just like that. It's VDB I feel sorry for. Anyway, we should be smashing Burnley with that team.The excuses made for Maguire are fairly pathetic. “Oh well he stays healthy” or “he progresses the ball well.” The standards are so damn low now for a CB at this club. Maguire will go down as one of our worst signings in club history. Sell him to the Saudis to recoup something and go for Kounde or De Ligt. In the meantime start Varane with Lindeloff or Bailly and we might actually see an improvement with our back 4.
We'll don't worry it's Burnley mate.Yes but it's not 442, it's 4222 with wingers. So we're not gonna have midfield control.
Not convinced it works great with a 33 year old Matic having to cover the wide areas either…but we shall see!4222 works fine but not when you play a winger and a striker in the middle 2
Some of these changes are because we've got 3 games in a week. I imagine Fred plays against Wolves, Dalot and Telles too.Fred having an impressive first two games under Ralf is suddenly dropped?
This! it’s so obvious but still you get the over reaction…HOW CAN HE BE DROPPEDProbably more to do with fitness, no? 2 months out so starting 2 games in 4 days might be a little much.
well that is why i worry, we haven't been able to control the midfield in a while, not even against the weakers teams in the PL. That's a real shameWe'll don't worry it's Burnley mate.
Probably just rested.Fred having an impressive first two games under Ralf is suddenly dropped?
I know he’s been poor but that’s harshExcept Maybe Marcus and Elanga we don't have any offensive option from the bench
Ralf needs a whiteboard session with Motorman, he’d soon sort this shit out.ffs 4-2-2-2 again.
I wanted 4-3-3.

Burst out laughing when I read that. Sums up my emotions perfectly about this line up.What a great/awful lineup. I love/hate it.
