how many Prem sides play this system? Will we keep it as Plan A and will we have a Plan B?
We’ll see. I can’t see Nuno abandoning a system that works. I think Chelsea and West Ham played it last year.
Chelsea, Spurs, City, West Ham, Arsenal, Watford, loads of teams played some version of the formation at some point last season. It's the trendy option at the moment after Conte introduced it and Chelsea won the league.
The formations are largely irrelevant it's the role of the specific players with and without the ball that impacts the teams effectiveness.
When you have better players that will take the ball despite being under pressure and can read the game well, the nominal formation that's put on the match day programme and newspaper reports really isn't the be all and end all and provokes far more debate than is really necessary
Nonsense. Tactics are vital.
By your reckoning a side could play 2-3-5 and it wouldn’t matter as long as the players were quality.
