4-4-2 (self.reddevils)

FootballRobbChicharito が 投稿

Anyone else miss the good old days of 442 with SAF? Where our attacks were mostly setup from the wings and our strikers were ruthless. In his final year I guess it kind of transformed into a 4-2-3-1 but I liked watching the traditional United way. Furthermore, I find it baffling that this formation is rarely used at all anymore, it's a perfectly balanced formation that relies on wingers alot and if you have a top class winger, it could do you wonders. Only closest example I could think of is Atletico Madrid and look where it got them.

These things are cyclical. 442 is a bit outdated today because most teams play with 3 men in midfield, either a 4231 or a 433.

More often than not a team playing 442 will struggle for control of the midfield against these formations, and it forces them to play very defensively.

There's also the matter of traditonal wingers not being as common. We don't have the players to play a 442 any more IMO. Martial / Mkhitaryan / Jesse / Memphis etc. would are more wide forwards / inverted wingers, and would struggle in a 442.

Yeah thats a fair point. I guess in some teams with the right players it works though. Valencia and Young are perfect wide-midfielders for this formation though. But im afraid we are 3 years too late

This could easily fit into part of my point on pampered players. 4-4-2 is a classic and the game seems to be based round fancy formations. 4-4-2, get stuck in, score goals. I remember when we would say "you score 3 and we'll score 4". We were all about the ruthlessness. Don't worry about how many the other have/will score, just go out and score more! 4-4-2 - Everyone needs to work hard, some of these other formations let players have freedom to do what they want and for some players lately it seems to be "i'll do fuck allcause i might get away with it"
