1. You have answered it for me. I am not actually totally anti the 4-5-1 formation or 4-3-3 depending on who you ask. My issue is how we use it. We spend all the time just tip tapping it around (slowly) and when we do get forward, the aforementioned 5 don’t. Thats the problem.
2. Again you’ve answered it for me. Playing another formation may not work but why not try it. Even when Rob makes subs, he generally just changes the personnel rather than formation.
So my answer is not necessarily to change the formation its to stop “Over” passing it, lets get it forward quicker, more men in the box when we do and who knows.
