Umtiti Pique Masch
Roberto Busi Alba
Messi Iniesta
Suarez Neymar
Our biggest problem with the 3-4-3 is our empty flanks being left vulnerable to attacks as Umtiti and Masch cannot cover enough ground. The biggest problem with our 4-3-3 system was the lack of control in midfield. This tactic addresses both issues as Bob and Alba play as wing backs who can cover the flanks and can act as midfielders during attacks. It does require Alba and Bob to cover huge amounts of ground, transitioning from winger to full back at times, but I think we can rely on them to run their hearts out on the flanks more than we can count on Masch and Umtiti cover both the central and wide areas of the pitch on the defensive end. Yes it is an experiment, but thats all we've been doing for the past 3 months, experimenting.
