AVFCforever1991 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 No, we would ship goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 3 centre backs seemed to have been made redundant as there is has been a trend for 451 / 433 as opposed to 442 with two out and out strikers. When a team is defending against one striker and two supporting attackers the wingbacks just get pushed back and it becomes a back 5. Decent defences should only need a back 4 IMHO.

Eames Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I'm going to say - lets leave Lambert to sort it out for himself. 4-4-2 is perfectly fine is deployed properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG_Villa_Fan Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I'm going to say - lets leave Lambert to sort it out for himself. Very much this. Also, it's not like we need to have a single formation to play, or even a primary one, I fully expect Lambo to try out different ones and adjust depending on the opposition. That said, the 90's 3-5-2 would not be suited to today's premier league, but works ok in Italy ( Napoli , etc ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I guess over the coming weeks months we will find out if all the hype around Lambert was justified I had my reservations from day 1 but I won't cast judgment this early Even a top manager would struggle with this squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Wigan use it well, I think the key being that the wing backs are very much full backs in wing back positions or else defensively you'll get exposed from natural poor defensive work by a winger and lack of concentration, especially when sides would try and take advantage down the sides so wing backs and side CB's have to be very switched on. When fully fit, something like; Given ----Dunne----Vlaar----Clark Lowton-------------------------LB/Warnock ----------KEA--Delph/BB/SI --------BH/CNZ------------------------------- ------------------------------GABBY--------- ----------------BENT------------------------- Which is basically how Wigan use it. (Holman/Zog being Maloney and Gabby being Moses in such a formation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
