eugene kim | | | a slightly defensive version of the 4-3-3 formation, used by teams like Mourinho s Chelsea (often with Makelele/Essien/Lampard as the midfielders, and Drogba as the main striker). one of the midfielders is purely defensive, allowing the 2 other midfielders to play a more attacking role. |

rikpre | | | This formation has also been recently employed by Chelsea in order to accommodate the addition of Anelka to the striking force. With Anelka and Joe Cole in outside forward positions, and Drogba up front. The three forwards are supported by two box to box midfielders [Ballack, Lampard, Belletti, Kalou etc], and the defensive midfield position [Essien, Mikel or Minero]. The other thing that makes this a rather strong formation is that in Chelsea s case, the two side defenders [Bosingwa, Ashley Cole, Bridge etc] act almost like wings, coming very far up the pitch enabling the midfield to move very far forward. | | | |

guest 208.0.30.17 | | | This is a formation used by Chelsea so successfully over the years, started by Mourinho, then followed by Grant and now Hiddink. You have to have a strong stiker like Drogba for this to work, it doesn t hurt having a competent midfielder like Lampard either who becomes such a threat from deap positions. Very effective and is difficult for other teams to break you down, as when you don t have the ball, you have a 5 man midfield, teams tend to dominate possession. | | | |

guest 84.211.5.72 | | | This formation is atack mode of 4-3-3 used like cult by FC Barcelona, Its very effective if you have 2 very creative width players who can cross the ball and score like Messi & Henry 1 quick striker like Eto o, while Xavi & Iniesta run tirelessly box-to-box to cause the defenders to focus on them while Henry, Eto o & Messi get on side to score bunch of goals and 4 defenders stay back but atack from half ground to cause the oppononts to retreat . Its very good tacktic for atack the best way to defend 90 minute, with tempo players, Manchester United with C.Ronaldo,Rooney & Tevez all front used this system 07/08 and CR7 scored 43 goals which is a record for midfielder to score 1 season & Rooney & Tevez scored also bunch of goals each. So this system needs commitment | | | |

guest 174.4.32.162 | | | To me this is a variation of the Metodo formation or a 2 3 2 3 I coach soccer and use it. I instruct the last 2 d to act as sweepers the next 3 as stoppers or defensive mids if you will.
The next 2 are the offensive mids.
I tell the players push everything to the outside with quick passes, Some times I put 2 fast player on the outside d to carry the ball up like wing backs. It works really well. | | | |

guest 24.122.203.66 | | | This formation is a way to qualify the 2010-2011 Barcelona, like a previous poster said it s similar to the 2-3-2-3. With Barca it s as follow:
..........Pique.....Puyol
Alves........................Abidal
..............Busquet
.........Xavi........Iniesta
.......Pedro...Messi....Villa
But some games Messi plays so deep it s almost a 4-4-2 diamond (a very unconventionnal one) | | | |
