4/4/1/1

Excuse me sir, why are you implying I called said poster a numpty. That's a bit rude and presumptious of you. Are you projecting your own feelings of said poster on me? Sir, I think maybe you need to take some time away and evaluate your role in this thread and the virtues of the vaunted 4-4-1-1 formation including 4 central midfielders. Likely to be Scottish.

Your Chico act stinks ?

Okay, both you and @Nymzee wind yer necks in or one will be forced into moderation mode.

The formation is at the moment decided by the lack of options available to the manager.

If signings are made, formations will

So should I use the report function or would it be quicker to DM Nymzee wannabe mod extraordinaire?

Jay, you're a speck of dust on the boot of GOT after your Benitez banning. Stop trying to be relevant again.

And yet your 1st post on this thread was a personal attack.

Use the report function friend

Yes, it’s obviously the biggest area of concern in the squad. But if Lampard does manage to bring in 1 or 2 midfielders. I think it would be possible to put out a 4/4/1/1 which is hard to breakdown and carries a threat against most teams in the league.

If the club brings in 2 decent midfielders then we'd be better equipped to play a 433 / 4231 than we currently are.

In the 4411 you mention, I'd prefer to see at least one of the midfield 4 being someone with scope to bomb forward. Either Patterson as the RM, or Gray / Gordon as the LM.

Plus a 4411 puts a huge workload on the second striker... That's Dele Alli. I'm not comfortable with that.

Gordon would be the 2nd striker

Yes, I should have mentioned. I’d have 4 central midfielders, no wingers. With the 4/3/3 it’s inside forwards dropping back to defend. And they can’t always get back in time. With 4/4/1/1 with 4 central midfielders, you’d only have 1 2nd striker dropping back on occasion. And you’d hope with the 4/4/1/1 that most of the midfield will be holding the shape and be behind the ball the vast majority of time, making it difficult to play through, even on the counter. The flipside is that the team wouldn’t be committing as many men into attacks.

I get what you're suggesting. To be honest though that's a system that seems awfully bereft of any attacking prowess. I struggle to see how we'd be able to score many goals at all if we adopted that, even if we tried to play on the counter..

Gordon would be the 2nd striker

I don't believe that would be a sensible use of Anthony Gordon at this stage of his development.

We seem to be employing the 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Amoeba at the moment

I wouldn't ban you.

Cba with the sickly grovelling apology email asking to be let back in you sent to Danny.

I'm man enough to apologise Nimz. I remember apologising to you years ago before I learned what you are.

Apologising to Dan is something I don't regret. I couldn't imagine myself
acting unappointed deputy hall monitor to cozy up to him though.
