You couldn’t, because it wasn’t. It wasn’t anywhere near a 433

Looks more like a 4-4-2 to me.

Looks like a 2-2-1-3-2 there to be honest. Text it and it's probably a competition line.

I didn't say it wasn't a 4141, I said "it could also be called a 433". Formations are flexible in and out of possession, so both can be applied to what we did today.

'Also' doesn't mean instead of.

It wasn’t a 4-3-3 at all.

Out of possession it was two banks of 4, compact and deep. Armstrong hanging on the shoulder with a combination of Moi and Redmond floating around behind him to provide that potential 'break'.

In possession we pushed JWP into an attacking wide role as we didn't seem to play a 'wide right' - Redmond just floated all over. Romeu just sat. The full backs weren't as advanced as they have been, they are a little deeper - although they did have their moments to burst forward. 

I think tactically we did a job on WHU, totally outsmarted Moyes. When we started to struggle, Ralph made the right subs to bring us well into the ascendancy in the closing stages. Lots of positives from yesterday in my opinion, a win wouldn't have been undeserved and we were so close to that.
