Great analysis
To me, you're pressing as a 2-3-2-1… Which I prefer as you're better prepared to defend for the counter.
Spot on analysis. Also like this formation because it's an easy transition to 11v11. You just split the wide players into wingers and fullbacks.
Going with this formation this year. Back to 9v9.
I prefer the 3-4-1 myself. Not sure why more coaches don’t run it more. I may have to experiment more with pushing the CB on possession.
