So is any system.
Give an example.
If you attack in numbers, no matter what the system is you are vulnerable to a counter attack.
The problem is that not many exploit it when playing the bigger teams, they play with fear.
Man United was 20 years ago, arsenal 15 years ago.
These days it's easily countered. In your 442 if one goes up and one stays, if you lose the ball in the middle due to the opposition having 3 CMs, your are always outnumbered in the middle. Always gonna have a 2 vs 1 situation.
It's less fluid than 4231, which can become a 433 in attack, a 451 in defence.
Not as versatile imo and that is why coaches don't favour it so much.
I didn't mean counter attacked.
I meant countered, as in reacting in opposition to.
For example if a team put 4 up front you'd counter that by going 5 at the back.
I watched Burnley play 4-4-2 quite well against Brighton the other day and they don't have some stellar CM, it can be done but it takes a lot of hard work and discipline.Leicester title winning side and Athletico Madrid are spot on comparisons for us like.
Who do we have playing the Kante or Griezman roles?

Would you, why?
I've watched us play with 3 central midfielders on numerous occasions and no one had a clue what they were doing.
Because it's no longer the 1930s, and if you have a spare player at the back, it stops your defence getting overloaded.
You can still leave 4 in midfield so you have a 2 man advantage there.
Imagine how bad it would've been with two
Not really as when you're in a two you know your role, how many times did we see a left sided central midfielder lost with PVA for example.
Don’t think we’re too disciplined with our formations..after the first punt, we’re usually scattered all over the pitch anyway.
Read the excellent inverting the pyramid. Tactics constantly evolve, it is easy to combat 442 and find weaknesses. Theres a reason it has gone out of fashion
I don't think our players are particularly good, no other reason.And why do you think we’re not very good?
Leicester won the league with it, Atletico Madrid have reached the final of the champions league.
I think it can work if your two central midfielders sit deep and hit people on the counter. Morgan and Gooch wide attackers. Maybes just a shame we have Wyke and no other forwards.
