Does anyone else think we should be changing our formation? I always feel we lack in midfield and really struggle to get the ball forward quickly.
I would like to see us try the same formation Man Utd had yesterday against Liverpool (3-4-1-2).
----------- Roberto----------
-----Zabaleta-- Diop--Ogbonna-----
Fredricks---Noble---Rice---Masuaku
---------- Lanzini----------
------ Haller----- Anderson-------
The reason I would play Zabaleta in the right centre back spot is so when the ball is coming down our left masuaku drops back in at left back so its a back 4 with fredricks free to go after the player with the ball. Same applies for ogbonna who has played left back before (obviously not very well) but Masuaku should be able to get back to support him.
The key and what worked well for united yesterday was getting the ball away to the wing backs and moving at pace through the middle, switching the play quickly too.
Also by having anderson in a free role to support haller we may actually get the ball to him once in a while, instead of him coming looking for it.
Just my thoughts, what do you guys think? Would this potentially work better than our 4-2-3-1?
