some fair points choirboy,agree about the fullback debate,but a lot of coaches are shying away from the 4 4 2 system,basically because playing against a 4 5 1 you get over-run in the centre of midfield ( acci have over run/passed to death a few teams this season).
Even the top teams , Barca ,real madrid etc.. defend as a 4 5 1 but switch to a 4 3 3 when going forward.
Thought Acci was a bit negative at the start of the season when they played 2 holding midfielders ( didnt conceed many tho),but now we seem to play a more attack minded 4 1 4 1,with the attacking mids interchaining and proving hard to pick up.
The key to this being successful is the centre forward showing and holding the ball up.
Its no coincedence that when Gornell plays well,Acci do !!!!!
If you see Accis shots/chances per game its obvious they have the players to adapt to this style,one match this season someone is going to be on the end of an hiding (6,7 or even 8 )
