I've never quite understood the obsession with playing 4 at the back. Many teams play 3 these days, and we have done ourselves, going back to the Toshack days, when it was quite revolutionary. 3 at the back is more flexible because it allows you to play 3 when in possession and 5 when out of possession, for example. We have a couple of problems to solve though. Cabango seems to struggle in a 3, because he doesn't have enough pace to play left or right, and he's not dominant enough in the air to play centre. Oh, and he's not very good in possession. I'm no fan of Cabango (that's no secret, nice bloke though) so I'd rather bench him and find someone who's comfortable in the formation. The other problem is we don't really have wingbacks. But again, I'd rather fix that problem than just play a formation because that's all our players can play. | |
