Makes sense, would get some new formations too <ok>

They'll end up doing this which will quickly become 5 at the back!

RW----------AM----------LW

That would be expensive, just think how many pitches there are in the world. Far cheaper to say it's a ten man game instead.

We've tried that many times over the years at Old Trafford and it doesn't work unless the other team plays with ten as well, and the referee isn't Howard Webb.

Actually this is nothing new

1996 euros.

Look at how venebles set us up. You can place out team then very much on this formation.

The key question is who plays the wings. If full backs then yes its 532. If say a player lije willian then it may be interesting.
 
Tony Cascareno reckons we need to make the pitch bigger. Apparently all nations, but particularly the lesser footballing nations, are producing athletes who can cover the pitch and hunt in packs for 120 minutes. He believes by increasing pitch sizes, the game will depend on the more technical, and attacking, side of the game.

Or will mean the technical skills will drop as players have more time and space to control pass the ball into. Should be playing on smaller pitches when young so you are forced to take less touches etc

Youngsters do play on smaller pitches
