3-4-3 Do we have the players

OneMax Maidstone 24 Jul 17 6.37am
The classical 3-4-3 format has been around for several decades. The main reason the 3-4-3 never become too widespread in use was the demanding nature of the formation. It requires players to be tactically astute. It requires them to have very complete skillsets. And last but far from least, is that it requires players to be at the top of their games physically. The lack of width puts enormous pressure on the wingbacks, while the 3-man press upfront requires a sustained level of coordination. I love to think we have the players but we are not Chelsea or Bayern Munich. [Link]

I would say that we need more players in, that we did if stayed with the 4141/433 of last season. We don't have a natural right wingback and now Sakho left instead of needing 1 cb, we now need 2. Another Damien Diagonal - Total Football

No, we don't have the central defenders, or suitable wing back candidates. Nor will we be able to attract them. I assume that the idea of 3-4-3 will only be applicable to games at teams roughly at, or below our ability; I can't see us playing 3-4-3 against any of the top 12 or so teams from last season.

I don't get where all the complaints come from. Yes we need a RWB and another good CB but the rest of the squad would be good enough. You don't need to be Bayern Munich to play 3-4-3. It is one of the only formations that allow us to plays to our best two players strengths (Wilf and Andros). Give it a chance, Frank will bring in the two minimum we need and then he'll upgrade the rest of the team with any money left. Hennessey Tomkins Dann (New CB) (New RWB) Milo Cabaye Van AAnholt Wilf Benteke Townsend

Gk- that can distribute with his feet Rcb- that can be comfortable if drawn into fullback position, also comfortable on the ball. Lcb- similar to Rcb Rwb- has to have great engine to get up and down the pitch and decent crosser. If we see Townsend in the forward role. We need 2 of these in case one injured. Back up striker- if Benteke injured. Another Damien Diagonal - Total Football

Tomkins used to play RB for west ham and has played it for him, I have no worries about him playing RCB if fit.
