FormationSwitches/Plan B’s Our Principles
4-2-3-1 When?If the opposition midfield has 3 players point-down (1-2) Why? To match up man-for-man in midfield Timing? In transition of game How?One of our attacking midfielders drops in next to our holding midfielderOur Right Our Left
3-4-3 When?If the opposition drops deeps and is set on defending Why?To get players further forward and 3 strikers narrower to cause opposition problems Timing? In transition of game How? Full-backs push up in line with attacking-midfielders, holding midfielder drops in to make a back threeOur Right Our Left
3-4-3 When? If we are losing and need to score Why?To secure the back line and push more players forward Timing? Make appropriate subs How?Full-backs come off, one centre-back comes on to makea back 3 of centre-backs, and midfield becomes a flat 4Our Right Our Left
5-4-1 When?If we are winning and the game is close and we need to secure the result Why? To secure the back line with an extra player and become more safe and compact Timing? Make appropriate subs How? One midfielder off for a defender, and one striker off for a midfielderOur Right Our Left
