Breakdown Of Rangers' Narrow 4-3-3

[Rousseau 9,359]

Frankie retweeted this fantastic breakdown of our narrow 4-3-3 which deserves to be watched. 

 

It highlights our defensive shape, pressing traps, and attacking principles.

I think the similarities to Liverpool's set-up are quite apparent in those breakdowns.

Not having watched it thus far, you would still hope that SG and Co. switch systems according to opposition at hand. We've been lucky that our players are of better quality than those of years gone by, and that we suffered next to no injuries. But 3 attackers against an 8-man defense can quickly become rather difficult, and we toiled quite a bit this season already.

Playing the same way, no matter the opposition, is where Warburton went wrong. 

 

Wide attackers and full-backs can totally change the shape though, depending on whether you're attacking or defending.

Kamara,Jack,Aribo are all capable of pushing forward too assist against "bus parking"

Jack has done that now, Kamar less so, Aribo plays behind the striker for Nigeria. That wasn't the point though. At Motherwell no-one pushed into the area around the penalty spot and about 3 or 4 time in that game alone, the ball ended up there with only Motherwell men around it ... Morelos playing it in or having a shot rebound there.
