Would you have a go at playing

4-4-2?

If it was upto you.

It worked for Forrest and at least it may give the defense a bit extra cover, then again it may be an absolute disaster. If not then what system would you like to see RLB try against wolves.

Once safe I think we could have had a bit of an experiment. Brobbey defo need someone up alongside with a bit of pace and a goals instinct…

we do it loads. two banks of 4 and one of the midfielders joining the striker.

lots of teams do, it's a very popular defensive shape

You said we've done it in pretty much every game, wouldn't say that at all, earlier in the season we were playing with a back 5 and sometimes not even leaving a striker up top. We've defended with 11 men behind the ball alot

yes we have. you can do it with a 5-4-1 as well. indeed we often defend with 5-4-1 and 4-4-2 in the same game

all the bit in bold can be done with a 4-4-2, yes

we probably disagree on "pretty much every game" which likely isn't worth debating. the point is the same really

How would 442 give the defence more cover?
