Thinks for himself
I would absolutely love to see us go back to a classic 4-4-2
AWB----------Lindeloff--------Maguire---------Shaw
James--------McTominay----Fred?-------Left footed winger
----------------Martial-----Rashford-------------------
It makes sense to me. We have 2 very good defensive FB's who don't offer a whole lot going forward. So to counter that I would like a hard working right footed right winger and hard working left footed left winger. Of course, they can change sides through out the game just like Giggs and CR7 used to do. This would also give us 2 guys in the box to feed on crosses and they could be deadly on the counter attack. I just don't get why we are so dead set against playing this system anymore. It took English teams so long to get out of this system when the rest of Europe was playing some sort/variation of a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 and now it seems we are too stuborn to go back to what used to work so well for us. I know some will say it's an outdated formation, but there are still lots of teams that use it and use it successfully. It would also mean that we have less possession against the smaller clubs which would do well to open them up for counter attacks...
