Well tbf, Fellaini is no midget like Baba Rahman. He's more like Ivanovic and we know Jose loves his giants:

"Because Baba Rahman arrived in the last day, because he doesn't know what is is to play in this kind of championship.  He had no pre-season with us. He needs time to learn, he needs time to adapt."

"At the same time, every team expect Maccabi Tel-Aviv is a team of giants. And if you don't have a minimum of five tall players good in the air, you are dead in set-pieces."

"When I play Azpilicueta on the right and Baba Rahman on the left and I don't play Ivanovic, I have only three, not ever four [good players in the air]. So we have to think about all the details. And I think about all the details."

He just said "you have teams that are playing defensive, counter-attacking football and you (the media) praise them to the heavens" something to that effect. Jose has no class man.. Pathetic.

Yeah right. 

Wales used it at the Euros in every game and Mark Hughes is Welsh lol. 

In the last few seasons Liverpool, Watford, Manchester United among other teams have all used different variations of 3 man defence formations like 3-4-3/3-4-2-1/3-4-1-2/3-5-2.

I don't think they've had as much success although I remember Liverpool having a great run of results with it under Brendan Rodgers at times. Even in Germany and sometimes Spain it is becoming more and more common. Unfortunately it's not something that is brand new but we seem to have a better grasp of it than those teams did.
