Change of formation (8 replies)

We tend to stick with the 4 2 3 1 formation even when we make subs. I understand this maybe plays to the better players we have got / have brought. But why don’t we ever switch it up & play 2 up front to force a win.

Many times today May was left on his own vs 3 defenders, therefore, was unable to hold the ball up. Dykes was even worse on his own up front.
Changing to 2 up top during a game would get us further up the pitch & put pressure on the opposition back 4 or 5!
