Hey /so/ football/soccer fans. How effective do you think a 3-3-4 formation would be?

Sounds pretty stupid, you'd concede a ton of goals because you have nobody stopping the opposing wingers and fullbacks.

Looks like it would end up being 3-3-2-2, depends on how you develop it really.

This. Fuck off phonefag

this. you need really good defensive midfielders to help or you'll concede a lot of goals.

Chile2010 (England96?) played 3-3-1-3 or something IIRC

why is everyone trying to be that edgy tryhard cool kid that avoids playing an balanced 442 at all costs?

because now defenders can defend

Guardiola used something similar in the 11/12 season, worked pretty well but that team was very specific

------------------Messi------------------
-Pedro--------Fabregas----------Alexis
-------------Xavi--------Iniesta-------
-----------------Busquets------------
--------Abidal----Pique----Puyol------
--------------------Valdes-----------

three defenders almost never works
I wish it did but it doesn;t

more like attackers cant score

Isn't that some tiki-taka stuff?

no the spaniard is right.
defenders are so much more organized now

he used it against narrow 4-4-2. would be unbalanced against other systems, i guess

Obviously it wasn't their first choice system but it appeared on a semi regular basis, sometimes even with Alves as the RB

5-0-5 is the system of the future

midfield is a meme, just pass the ball over them

speak for yourself

3 4 3
Fuck you

8-1-1 is the truest of formations, it's already been succesful under Mourinho and especially this Euros it's proving to be the best formation available.

I gotta try that on fifa

Hasn't Juventus been using 3 at the back all season?

formations are a meme to help people to understand football. 3-3-4 is played all the damn time when attacking. Guardiola has used 2-3-5 in attacking shape in his time at Bayern. The time where formations were fixated ended 40 years ago.

3 defenders usually mean 3 center backs that get supported by 2 midfielders on the wings in defence to actually have a line of five defenders. A very Italian way of playing
