Come on. 4231 is just 442 with one withdrawn forward - it's been around for years, including at Arsenal with Viera, the press just wasn't interested in formations then and called everything 442. As for three at the back - that dates back to the evolution of WM with the original 'centre half'. To call this stuff 'advanced' or 'modern' is just odd.
This stuff is just notation - don't get hung up on it over the reality.
I'm guessing our formation will be whatever formation Spurs play anyway, that the Spurs youngsters will be drilled in it, and that our being gifted them all for the season is on the basis that we continue to drill them in it. |

Good points...most of the changes in football over the years, have little to do with formations..the classic 69 side played a false number 9...and everything to do with pitches, equipment, training/fitness, diet etc Nevertheless, you should never ask players to do things of which they're not capable. |

Such as play football, in the case of a few we've seen pass through our doors. |

Apparently its the one where we talk about formations and other shite rather than a new manager! :-) |

Basically yes, plus one of the players playing CM can't push forward quite so much, but then if you have a player like a Steven Gerrard, etc. he's best suited to the 'withdrawn forward' role as you put it. It's hardly revolutionary. |
