what's the real difference.....

[saintbob40]

So we have those on the forum who think that the team that lost 6-1 to Arsenal and 4-1 to West Ham, and lest we forget 2-0 to Wigan at home would have faired better than the one with Cork and Shaw in it.

 

....care in the community is all well and good but there is a lot to be said for a old Victorian solid brick built asylum where you can't hear the screams.

Do we ? I haven't actually seen anyone say that.

by and large I think I agree with you, but can you explain the difference between the `traditional sense of a 4-4-2' and what we do?

 

I mean a formation where there are two banks of four (defence and midfield) who are set up in straight lines across the pitch and two strikers playing off each other. We set up like this sometimes last season as did many of the teams we played against as did Newcastle when we played them a few weeks back.
