Do you like it or not? Is that something you can see us building upon and something that could work with some better options down the right side?
Personally, I see potential in it. It's a good fit for a few reasons:
I'd say we're probably a good RCB and a really good RWB away from having the right personnel for it.
I know our switch to this formation coincided with worse results. But we have to consider that the recent fixtures have been very tough (Arsenal away, Wolves away x2, Barca) and also some games were lost due to individual mistakes on our part and/or bad luck which can always happen.
What does the Caf think?
Personally, I see potential in it. It's a good fit for a few reasons:
- I think all our forwards prefer a more central than wide role when playing
- Playing 3 in midfield with wingbacks gives more freedom to Pogba/Lingard to join the attack
- It makes us more robust when we need to defend more during a phase of the game
- It's (probably) easier to find good wingbacks than wide forwards
