Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I am all for playing with a back 3 esp against smaller teams but the proposed formation is a 5 defender one IMO. Actual 3 pep style defender formations would be GC. Zoum azpi Matic fabWillian Oscar pedro Hazard CostaWould be a bit risky without a DM in place of fabregas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 3-4-1-2With players we have now available. COSTA - REMY/FALCAO HAZARDWILLIAN/OSCAR - MATIC - CESCY - PEDRO HAPPY - JT - DAVE TIBO/ASMIR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccg 1,528 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Who would like Cahill Zouma TerryAzpil Baba - 3 Cb's with Azpil Rwb Baba Lwb , Matic sits in front and becomes the modern monster makele and the attacking 4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyikolajevics 2,707 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I don't think that this would be the solution. Playing with three CB-s don't work in modern football, no succesful team uses that system. Juventus were sucking balls in the Champions League with three CB-s..

CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Afaik only if Matic does not improve. In which case I would use Dave as a false CB to sit just in front and start play and tuck in when under pressure. RLC-Oscar-Cesc, a dm in front of a 5 man defense would be negative even for Jose.

NishC300 1,865 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! We'll get crushed out wide in the PL with only 1 wide player on each flank! No need to change formation, just put the right pieces into it! One of the most important aspects of football is the full back bombing forward on the overlap and there is no way that can happen with this formation. We need to add more width to our game and going with 3 centre backs would be a disaster! dUMB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too big 625 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Works for bayern and they use alonso as a cb when needs be during the game, while lahm and alaba act as lcb and rcb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NishC300 1,865 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hazard on the left Pedro/Willian on the right?You mean Hazard as LWB and Pedro/Willian as a RWB in a 3 CB formation? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 We regularly go to three at the back when chasing a game but I don't think we should really consider it from the off. I agree with the notion though, a change in shape would make us a lot less predictable. How about 4-4-2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
