Also House, you forget about our forward player's role in defending. Usually when you play 3-5-2, you let the forwards defend a bit deeper and wider!
This way they will be able to help our "poor poor" wing men!
There's always a solution you know!
and then our transition play -which if we are to win will be very important- becomes even more slow due to our forwards not being in position. i will have an irrational hatred of this formation until i see it working consistently for more than 1 club.
Every formation has a weakness house, no matter what formation we play we can win and we can lose. I just think in the past few games, 3-5-2 has been the formation that beat Chelsea so I think we should stick to it.
of course all formations have weaknesses but 3-5-2 seems to me to have glaringly big weaknesses to me. maybe I'm wrong. it has been known.
