I love 3-4-3 anyway, but I think it matches up really nicely against a defensive 4-2-3-1 where you need to dominate the ball and create chances.

Doesn’t have to be if you get the wing backs up and press into midfield with the CBs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. We control the game so much more when playing 3-4-3, would help to quell any early nerves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) It's fine if you play it all the time, not so much when you've only ever used it as an adaptive system to play on the break or due to personnel availability like we have. Think part the reason we struggled second half against Chelsea was because we'd been set up in a 3-4-3 and then suddenly had an issue with the extra man and needing to be the more proactive side. I don't think I'd want to play it at home to Everton personally. Edited May 23 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Yeah I can see that justification to be fair. If Trippier is out as well I think we probably are best going with 3-4-3 it just doesn't convince me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it confirmed they are missing their first choice defenders? Dont think we have 3 cms good enough to play 4-3-3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 There's another defender out as well, isn't there? Should be interesting with a patched up defence. Just hope Doucoure doesn't turn into Eusebio on his final game for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 3 hours ago, buzza said: We seem a lot more comfortable playing the 3-4-3 or 5-2-3 formation and get a lot more overlaps down the sides. Everton have a slowish defence and with Braithwaite out I would be up for keeping this same formation. If Trippier is back then a 4-3-3 is decent, but it´s the left side middle of the park that bothers me; I don´t like either of Willock or Miley in there, they don´t elevate our game in any way... If Everton have a defence which lacks pace then we need to hit them with pace. Might be a factor for starting Willock over Miley if either of them is being considered. It was infuriating watching crosses coming in against Arsenal when we had no one busting a gut to get in the penalty area last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
