Formation

[1973safcftm]

With all these centre halves we have on our books already and with mensah more than likely also coming in, does anyone else think we may change formation either for away games or change it for every game? With the Al-Muhammadi and Kieran as attacking wing backs? Just a thought...

Been mentioned a lot and I see no reason (in theory) why it wouldn't work, however there must be a reason we no team plays this formation at all

Why would we?

Every formation that uses three centre halves, i.e. 532/352 variations is almost obsolete because of the space they tend to allow and the way the centre halves are easily exposed, or if they're not exposed you get outnumbered in midfield and have no width.

I would like to think we're going to be moving on one or two of these centre halves that aren't good enough and capitalising for once on having attacking fullbacks which would open things up a touch and give us some width, rather than changing our formation to utilse one or two centre halves we dont think are up to it - just a thought like?

Agreed (at least on something )
