Quoted from rancido
I can't remember which famous manager said " it's players that win games not formations " but surely it's more about players who can play to a formation. Not all full backs can play the wing back role and also not all centre backs can play the ball out of defence.

But surely everyone has a favourite way of playing, style or formation. It’s not just football managers.

I didn’t just judge it on towns version, it’s just the formation in general whenever I’ve seen it used in football, and I’ve played in it myself and felt very uncomfortable in it.


No disrespect, but couldn't this be more a comment on you (and the vast majority of players) who aren't up to the standard we're aspiring to?

i.e. good players adapt to different formations. In fact aren't 352, 532, etc just variants of the same structure played within one game? If you stay in one position (relative to the other players in the team) you're just a bit inflexible and likely to get overrun in different parts of the field by players who can adapt.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quiet possibly mate, I’ve always played on the wing but signed for a team who played me left wing back. I got slaughtered every week! Our wing backs yesterday had so much more support and where really effective.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

Wing backs a tough position esp if you don't get support.. Remember Laws playing himself there as a right wing back up against Froggett of Wolves and they tore him a new one with Steve Bull getting a hat trick
