Re: Hogan and Juke

If you have 2 up top then your only options for overall tactics are 442 or 532. Our midfield is not good enough to play as a 4 so that rules out 442. We have used 5 at the back at times but usually in a 541 when we go extremely defensive. We don't have the wing backs to play a back 5 effectively in an attacking way.

I said this in another thread for but I think the best balance would be a 433. The 3 man midfield would allow the wide men to stay higher up and get closer to the striker. We could change our style of play very easily as well. If the midfield 3 sit deep then we can leave the front 3 high and play counter football. If the midfield 3 push high then we can play a high pressing game. If they have any composure then we could even try to control the game a bit more as 3 midfielders should be able to hold the ball better than the current midfield of Sunjic and Kief.
