Reading about Gerrard at rangers they used a 433/4321 formation, there’s a chance we do a similar thing and use the full backs as wing backs and the dm in the midfield 3 kind of drops in as a 3rd cb. So it would be a 3421/3241 kind of thing when attacking. Im still more a fan of the 4231 tbh just because if used how Carrick did in his first season you get basically 2 up front. A 433 with a front 3 of Azaz, Conway and Whittaker just comes across as very weak and lacking focal point. At the very least to see improvement we’d need Azaz to be one of the 8s and a new forward taking that spot, that’s if Azaz stays of course.

Skinemrippers 1,168 1.2k Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I can’t imagine we’ll be playing with wingbacks when we don’t have any. Isn’t the whole point not to rip up the squad and style with a change of manager? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We begged carrick to change system the season before last and the one game where he switched to a 3 back we beat Leicester 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now we don't have good enough fullbacks so what's the issue if instead of buying them we end up buying wingbacks instead? That's if we end up doing that of course. Go through the squad and list the players who you feel have to be in the first XI. I don't mean name a starting XI, I mean only list the players who would have to be in any team that we put out. What do you have when you do that? Does it really force you into one particular system or formation? I bet it's about 4 or 5 players max. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We currently have one fit fullback and 2 out and maybe returning from long term injuries If we want to play with wingbacks, we'll sign them. We'll need to sign players regardless, so it won't matter. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pure speculation that we would even use wing backs, equally why do people keep going on like we won't make signings this summer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
