If 3-4-3 is the same as 5-4-1 why didn't we play 3-4-3?......its not the same is it Derek?....lol and i'm the soft one....
Because against a better side your wingbacks get pushed back into a back five and can't get forward and your wide front players get pushed back into midfield leaving the front man isolated. This happened in the first half against Chelsea when we beat them 3-0 and we sat deep and picked them off with pace. We tried to do this against City but they put so much pressure on the man playing the ball out and the man receiving the ball that we couldn't keep hold of the ball.. because City are quite good at keeping you under pressure.
