Gribz 743 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) He should look at playing a 3-5-2. _______________De Gea______________ ______Jones____Vidic____Evans______ _________Fletcher___Carrick_________ Valencia_______Mata________Januzai __________Rooney____RVP__________ While he is playing Cleverly and Young they will continue to fight for 7th place. A 3-5-2 wont work when the "5" are 2 central holding midfielders whilst the others are attack-minded players. The amount of space that formation, with those players, would leave in behind would be like a chasm. That back 3 is horrid Gribz and would get ripped a new one on a weekly basis. There isnt the pace in it to cover for the lack of wide defenders. Evans ? An imposter of a football player IMHO. SBS is right, Rooney is now a converted #10 but Mata is a better player in that role. He has to find a way of playing Rooney & RVP together. That could be achieved with a 4-3-1-2 with Mata playing the "10" and RVP *& Rooney up top. With Evra and Rafael happy to help support in attack the "3" in the middle isnt as narrow as it first appears. Your formation is completely absurd! An absurd formation is it???. Van Gaal is using it and looking like sticking with it. A 7-0 win is a great start. MLS is improving and we struggle against 4th tier teams while Man U batter one of the better ones shows it wasn't exactly a fluke result. Its only one game and I don't want to see Utd win the league but having the players in the squad they have a 3-5-2 was easily their best option. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/15115/9392807/manchester-united-boss-louis-van-gaal-has-found-early-success-with-3-5-2-and-might-be-tempted-to-stick-with-it Edited July 25, 2014 by Gribz 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 O'Squeel got to Seville pumping Liverpool and Stuttgart along the way with 3-5-2. Also chased Advocaat out of town with that formation as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Yes it was absurd. You have no wing backs for a start. Van Gaal will most certainly not be playing the formation you posted. He may play 3 centre halfs but that doesn't mean it's the same system. I was not saying 3-5-2 itself was an absurd formation 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also chased Advocaat out of town with that formation as well. Ended up getting exposed by Eck with it too and ultimately reverted back to a flat back 4. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
