There is still a way for them both to play but it is more unlikely that Wenger will change the
formation, with the squad that Arsenal have I do feel we could play 4
-4-2 diamond and the 2 man CF made up of a tall strong CF (Giroud / Welbeck) and a pacey off the last man shoulder type of CF (Theo / Alexis).
I agree, I've said before as well that sometimes we need to switch to a 4
-4-2 diamond and people say that
formation is dead or old.
I think we were best in a 4
-4-2 diamond like in 2015, so unfortunately Douglas Costa doesn't make the cut either in that
formation.
I know it will never happen but I believe we need to go to a 4
-4-2 diamond play 2 of alexis, theo and Danny as strikers in this
formation and actually use ozil (when fit) as a no 10.
I want to adopt the 4
-4-2 diamond head playing style
formation for this game to comprehensively overrun the Potters, instead of the 4 -2-4-1 we been using that could give room for Stoke to operate against us.
If you are going with a 4
-4-2 (be it the common or the
diamond formation) one player whose role is very much redundant is Santi Cazorla.
Today I will focus on the
formation Liverpool and recently England play which is the 4
-4-2 diamond or also known as 4 -1-2-1-2.
in the next season we can play with this
formation: GK (new) RB - CB - CB - LB DMF (new) Ramsey Wilshere ozil lacazette aubamyang a 4
-4-2 diamond and sure with a new manager, hopefully allegrii or tukhil
Fox Sports again depicted the
formation as a flat 4
-4-2, but it was clearly a
diamond midfield.
Both
formations have been tested in the warm up games and the squad announcement suggests that Hodgson is leaning towards the 4
-4-2 diamond.
All the fans are screaming out for a change in
formation to a 4
-4-2 diamond, as this was used during the 2013/14 season where we finished 2nd.
Over the past few months, a 4
-4-2 formation with a midfield
diamond — known as a milieu en losange in France — has become the must - have tactical system for the league's leading teams, with Lille, Monaco and Lyon successively enjoying improved fortunes after adopting the tactic and Marseille potentially poised to follow suit.
The 4 -3-1-2 offers some defensive protection, but again Coutinho will not be in his favoured position, and may even be positioned further back; but the merits of this
formation do not outweigh the merits of the 4
-4-2 diamond, as the attacking potential that the 4
-4-2 diamond system allows can only be matched by a 4 -3-3; an equally devastating attacking
formation which may be able to accommodate all four of our best players into it.
His favoured
formation at Dortmund was the 4 -2-3-1, but he also utilised variations of a 4 -2-2-2, a 4
-4-2 (including a
diamond), and a 4 -4-1-1 during his time there.
Another
formation that could potentially be used is a 4 -3-1-2 — very similar to the 4
-4-2 diamond above, but slightly more defensive, so if the defensive issues (getting opened up too easily through the middle) that damaged the 2013/14 season persist, then this is a minor tactical change that won't upset the balance of the team too much.
