Is 433 A Better System Right Now

[warksclaret]

We rarely change from 442, but compared to last year we are in a better position to deploy a 433

Drinkwater when fit could drop in to it. We have Cork, Westwood Hendrick all capable as well.mMaybe start 442 as SD seems hell-bent on it, but if playing poor swicth to it sooner rather than later , It may suit us to start with this v the top 6 teams

Far too complicated for a simple minded Burnley fan like me.

[Granny WeatherWax]

Simple answer is no. We looked completely disorganised when we switched today.

We would get overrun playing 4-3-3 against the top 6.

[warksclaret]

Fair point-I was not there today. Guess we have not practiced it enough

[wilks_bfc]

I think 443 works better tbh

That would stop us being overrun in midfield

[ClaretAndJew]

4 4 3 means we have 12 players on the pitch.

Well the referee never noticed

[jojomk1]

No
Our midfield is weak and lacking pace when there are four players in there
Drop down to three and we will be completely overrun
All that system will give us is more "hoof" ball tactics

So you are not a fan of SD then?

[jojomk1]

I was replying to a question about formations
I also don't think I've seen SD adopt a 443 formation
So he must agree with my assumptions

[Vintage Claret]

If we can get away with a 4-4-3 formation everygame I think we should definitely do it until somebody notices we have 12 players on the pitch.

[Tricky Trevor]

One of SDs few weaknesses for me is game management. It went our way today but how many times do we drop points late on because we can't successfully see out a game.
4-4-2 is his way and I have no problem with that but we are a professional sports team and have to be coached in other systems so when the time is right we can adapt. This doesn't seem to be the case.
I would rather we were changing to 5-4-1 to see out a point than 4-3-3 to win one but they should be able to do both.

4 4 3 means we have 12 players on the pitch.

Noooo surely not ... well I never.... pah somebody slipped up there didn't they
