I think its silly to say a team plays formation X and thats it. No team really does.

That's what I was trying to say in a much more convoluted way lol

But seeing as how the 3-5-2 has come up I think it's interesting to compare it to Martinez's version of the 3-4-3.

Like I said before in the 3-5-2 the width is provided by the wing backs. But in the 3-4-3 there are already two wide attacking players who get supported by the wing backs pushing up. It's much harder to stop imo.

Indeed. And another reason why its viable in the PL, is you wont get 2 v 1's down the flanks on defence.

That often is a problem with 3 at the back varients, 2 v 1 down the flank naturally happen. But the way Wigan play it, they do a good job of not allowing it.

Martinez is Catalan.

Does that quell your laughter?

The you clearly haven't seen Ranieri's teams.

Even when he fields a different formation somehow it's still a 4-4-2.

After one win in 12 games and only one clean sheet away from Goodison Park since September, it is becoming common to hear fans complain that the Spaniard is 'turning us into Wigan'.

Last season these same fans were saying Moyes until now was holding everton back from achieving greater things. Laughing

dat fall from greatness to... wigan. Proud

Rodgers is the true master of the 3-4-3. :coffee:
