Carvalho is playing up front, I reckon, gonna dig out my Football Manager lingo and say we’re playing with a ”false 9”. Bit like Cruyff did with Laudrup and Pep did with Messi. Just loads of technical ability up front for their centre halves to have to chase.
Yeah, I reckon more heart breaking than this, I’m gonna go 2-1, them to come from behind and win it in stoppage time, cue “that’s the mark of a team heading for the Premier League” from Sky.
False 9 it seems. I guess the logic is to have a decent share of possession against a possession team and an extra man dropping into midfield helps with that.
