3 at the back with a Defensive Midfielder that is always way further up field?
Suicide.

Good point, Wenger would need to stop them going forward as much.Ricardo wrote:Splashy wrote:I would quite like a 3 at the back formation.Poland

I would still like to see this formation, I think 3 at the back formations are a lot more exciting to watch.

Fuck trusting Walcott, Santos and Song to do all of the tracking back and defending the full back spaces.

Yeah, playing Benayoun in goal would be pretty exciting to watch, what do you think of that idea?

I will try and make a chalk board to show you what I mean.

If we did play a 3 man defence, it would probably be like:
Sagna would be a lot more restricted in what he does, whereas Gibbs would have licence to go forward.
We do not have the players to play such formation.
Szczesny
Koscielny Mertesacker Vermaelen
Sagna* Arteta Wilshere Gibbs
Walcott RVP Gervinho

I know how a formation like that works, however we do not have the defensive discipline and type of players to pull it off.Splashy wrote:It's kinda hard to explain how the formation would work.Steadman wrote:Fuck trusting Walcott, Santos and Song to do all of the tracking back and defending the full back spaces.

If we had a defensive midfielder that would be willing to sit back then It could work quite well but atm I agree, it would never work with song or Wilshere.Steadman wrote:I know how a formation like that works, however we do not have the defensive discipline and type of players to pull it off.Splashy wrote:

It was only an idea because I was bored, I can't see a team using at 3 at the back formation in the Premier League.

I always used to play Diaby instead of Wilshere in fifa 11. He's 79 but he's such a fucking beast in the game. You disappoint me bat-man

So Gervinho to get a brace today with van Persie getting a hattrick and Arshavin opening the scoring

I'd start Oxo-Cube over Arshavin or Walcott.
Szczesny
Sagna Mertesacker Koscielny Gibbs
Frimpong Ramsey
Walcott Arteta Arshavin
RVP
