Still 1 player out of position is an improvement on the 4 or 5 players we are usually playing out of position Mata has played wide at Chelsea before and played well |

A wing backs starting position is higher up the pitch and there is more of an expectation on a wing back to be able to beat the opposition's full back on 1 v 1s |

There's a lot of %@#$&!s about formations tbh, not much difference between the £#%&!ing lot of them. Our main issue is not attacking with pace enough, and some of the £#%&!ers in our squad unable to pass and control a football consistently. |

I don't disagree with the team, tbf, I just don't think it's a world away from what we're currently doing. As it stands, we still get ourselves into plenty of good positions, but lack something in the final third. LvG's deployment of Di Maria off the striker suggests to me that he sees the problems with the front pairings. |

And you're also right about pace being a problem. For me the biggest problem is we never 'get behind' the opponents defence. The reasons for this are twofold: - We don't have enough urgency in our play (too happy to keep passing sideways) - The attacking players aren't pulling defenders away creating space for each other. Mata is the biggest problem on the later point. It's extremely rare that he bothers to try and make space for others. RvP and Falcao (in the few times they've played together) tend to occupy the same space which again causes issues. Falcao is the key to it working as he's the most unselfish. Rooney has scored a few lately as a result of Falcao's movement. Everyone seems to be against 2 up front but it's ok if they're a 2 playing together properly. Unfortunately that doesn't look like it can happen with RvP and Falcao so for the foreseeable future it should be one or the other. Personally I'd just stick Falcao up there on his own and have Rooney and Di Maria playing off him. They're far more likely to find space there and you'd hope that Falcao could occupy a couple of defenders on his own. |
