Something that has always bothered me and I'm sure many others is "Shoehorning" players into an XI to fit them in, which begs the question, do we decide on a formation and then fit the players in or do we decide who our best few players are and fit the formation to that?
Ole clearly prefers the 4-2-3-1 yet we have Pogba who I think fits best as a Mezzala or left of a diamond, so we shoehorn him in a #6 position.
The other method suggests that our best/ most stocked area is the non defensive midfielders, now Pogba, Fernandes & VDB, surely a diamond would fit them better with Matic at the base.
Question is then, do you fit the formation around your players or fit your players into the formation?
