I feel the same way. Really think that to get the best out of our team 433 is the way, the wing backs aren’t good enough. This will also allow us to play SMSI trust Conte and his plan and therefore he should be backed - but it makes it so annoying that his view of footballers and style of play doesn't align with mine
But then we have numerous players including all our cbs, pretty much all our wing backs bar Emerson who cannot play in a back 4…..
There's about as much chance of Conte switching to a 4-3-3 as there is of him laying an egg.
Show us your starting XI for this scenario? Really interested in what you do with the back line, as they are all better in a 3 apart from perhaps Royal.
I think we can be predictable but changing formation isn't necessarily the solution. City, Liverpool and even Chelsea themselves play the same formation every game but they make tactical adjustments within that. If you look at what Reece James did, both on and off the ball for example was quite clever from Tuchel. We need our players to be more versatile. Signing a midfielder for big money who only really suits a formation which would be more of a plan B makes less sense, even though he's very good. Similar to when we were linked with Lautaro, I don't think it's the best use of our funds.
Perhaps the club do want to cash in but noone bit at 90m so they're softening their stance?
Chelsea can show the rest of the league what they like, but without the quality that Chelsea have in key positions, other teams won't be able to deploy that as effectively against us. Then there are teams who won't change their formation and style of play to counter an opponent.
Good lord. Have you watched any football under Conte?
bit of a stretch to justify your point- Mason?! Back 4?!
The point is that Conte won't ever play a back 4, so there's no point theorising it.
I am just of the thinking that we have Talent up top that can be utilised better and weekends in the WB spots in comparison to his previous teams
With respect, there's no point even vaguely contemplating this - that train has left the station, got to the other station, gone back in garage, been decommissioned, replaced, upgraded and replaced with spaceships.
Well I remember Dier in a 2 and it was horrible, and Romero hasn't shown he can really play that role for any length of time either. We've deliberately gone out and bought so that we have 2 players for every position Conte has made this a priority. To change formation and still achieve this now would mean bringing in another 5-6 players instead of just the 2 to make that a reality for 3-4-3.
We'd then need a manager that uses a 4-3-3 system. Nuno would be available quite cheaply. Or we can just ensure we have the right players for Conte to play his brand of football. You know, maybe sign a world class WB like Perisic, and get a conveyor belt of talented athletes like Sessegnon, Spence and Destiny who can be shaped into Conte's image.
