Okazaki drops off and roams all over the place, and Mahrez and Albrighton get up there to make it more like a 4-2-3-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree, I know we are supposed to play 4-3-3 that might be the positions where we stand on the pitch at kick off, but in reality we play 4-3-2-1. 3 up front is great if you are Barca....

They still beat us 4-1 and are are light years ahead of us in terms of being a team and Burnley play better football than Boro do easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose if you look throughout a game most teams will adopt a number of formations at different points. We are supposedly 4-3-3, but as Toddy correctly identifies in another post, we don't much look like that consistently throughout a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is kind of true though. Maybe not quality but consistency and performance has been below standard. Leicester top the table on 60 points after 29 games, five points clear, where in previous years it would put them about 3rd/4th and usually at least one win away from the top. 2013/14 PL they would have actually only been 5th. Not even Champions League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
