    Random thought: do we think it’s a 4-3-3 atp or a 4-2-3-1. cuz the football apps been making it a 4-2-3-1 these days but I honestly still feel like it’s a 4-3-3 lol

        Like I can see why they say it’s a 4-2-3-1, cuz the RCM does drift into central areas quite frequently, but I feel like the default state is with Eze / Saka / Ødegaard / whomever being more right side than middle. And never left side. Which makes me think 4-3-3.

          Not only that, but our left backs (especially MLS and Calafiori) tend to drift into a left defensive midfield position when we are attacking. I think that tripped up a lot of commentators who assume we have a flat back four all the time and who aren’t looking at who that player actually is.
