I'm always interested in the team formation. It's not a static thing within a game - defending and attacking shapes are obviously different - and it can also change from game to game. But, there is usually a basic shape in which teams set up.
What formation do people think Marti's using of late? It's changed from 4231 to either 433 or 4141. What do people think? |  | | |  |

4-1-4-1 is how they set up and I think that will be no different on Saturday but the players need to flexible as the game gets played. He may well be changing it himself as well depending on the performance/goals/subs...... |  | | |

Agreed it’s been 4-1-4-1 for a while now - working well |  | | |

Difficult to pin down as quite a few players move around a bit, e.g. Morgan last home game was moreorless playing right mid first half.
If I had to say what Marti does I would say:
- Back 4
- cdm in front of the centre backs (varane),
- no. 8 up an down in front of the defence and behind the attack (Field)
- no. 10 wandering (morgan)
- rw, lw and cf (smyth, chair and frey) [Post edited 17 Jan 16:57]

it baffles me when people use numbers as positions....surely the numbers being used are from the old positions used from the early 70's and before.
1,2,3,2,3.....layout.
1, goaly
2, left back
3, right back
4, left half
5, centre half
6, right half
7, left wing
8, inside left
9, centre forward
10, inside right
11, right wing.
or have the numbers per position changed. | |

I still think in those terms. The one we all understand is number 10.
Going back through the years, it always seemed that the left footers were the skillful ones. |  | | |

Watch the Coaches voice with Marti for some good insight he calls it 4-3-3 but at particular stages on the pitch it's 4-1-4-1. No 10 in this system |  | | |

Talking of squad numbers, it's rather strange we don't have a no 9 this season. It makes you wonder if they had reserved that shirt for a player who ended up not coming in. | | | |

as long as they are wearing squad numbers, none of it makes sense.
not disbelieving you, but where have you got your number positions from.
as i say, the ones and only ones i know are from the early 70's and before. | |

The 6, 8 and 10 positions that nix posts about are pretty standard and have been for a long time. | | | |

That's absolutely it (subject to superstan's comment re LW v RW) but that formation is more like from the 50s or even before and was already long gone from the pro game in the 70s. It was the first formation I played in at junior school which wasn't surprising as the headmaster (who doubled as games teacher) looked like he was straight out of the 50s, as many older men did in the 70s.
2-3-5 as we lined up! Obviously not all the numbers make sense in the modern game - 4, 5, 6 were midfielders, hence 'half' and 2 and 3 were full backs because they stayed back. A lot of the terminology remains even though it's no longer relevant or even misleading - a centre half is now a defender.
Pretty sure we've been around this block before, though. |  |

could swear every position on the back of the old qpr 60' and 70's square programmes were layed out that way. | |

Sorry I might have misunderstood. I wasn't talking about actual squad numbers but positions the coaches use a number to describe. So in interviews announcing new players they'll say e.g. that his normal position is a six but he can play as an eight. But that may not be what you mean... | | | |

Didn't Dykes have the 9? | |
