  • Michigan's Starting Formation vs. Notre Dame 9-17-10

    Adam Shaw playing a holding midfield role. The offense is produced by quickly getting the ball to the strikers, who are giving free reign to do as they wish. Alashe and Harmoody Saad collapse into the center leaving a very centralized attack.

  • Maradona gets the sack. Are Argentinian FA doing the right thing?

    Maradona was not really impressive during the qualifiers. It would be understandable if he was sacked during that part of his reign. However Argentina performed quite well in the world cup itself.I know it's hard to stay on as a manager with ...

  • Should Arsene give another try with the 4-4-2?

    This will be interesting and useful when RVP is back. This way we can use the strength of both Chamakh and RVP, as they give up two different and complementary dimensions of attack. Chamakh has a good work-rate and he can use his strength to drag...

  • Lopsided 4-2-3-1

    Song stays deep, and when full-backs run forward for overlapping, he can work as a sweeper in front of the central defense during the counter-attack and inward run from either flank. Wilshere plays the link-up role between Song and Fabreg...

  • Liverpool v Blackpool

    A non traditional 4-2-2-2. The two central midfielders largely remain neutral while the attacking midfielders share the creative responsibility as well as feed the strikers more frequently.
