Robert O'CarlosOff the point slightly, but I'd be interested how people would term this formation.
:-)

4-5-1? 4-2-3-1? Maybe even 4-4-1-1? Just for interest's sake.

nvrIt looks like a 4-2-3-1 to me. Now my turn for off the point question.

Bosnia Herzegovina has a decent bunch of players appearently. But I cannot name a club from their national league. Where do they grow these players?

Looks like Wittgenstein's "duckrabbit".

Seriously though, my own take is that this is 6-4; the 4-2-3-1 variant. But if I knew who Misimovic was and how he tended to play, I might then describe it differently.

:P

klose304I see it as a 4-2-3-1, but it's not a formation our NT is likely to play. We use the 3-5-2 and sometimes the 3-6-1. As for how we get our players, it's a bit complicated. Some players, like Edin Dzeko, start at our national league and then (usually) move to some eastern European club and eventually end up somewhere like Germany. Others, like Miralem Pjanic and Vedad Ibisevic have grown up in other countries where they played in their leagues. Pjanic played in the French and Ibisevic played in the American. So we have many players who are playing in foreign leagues and one that stands out in particular is the Croatian league, where about half of all foreign players are from Bosnia. FK Sarajevo and FK Zeljeznicar are two of the biggest clubs in Bosnia.

nvrThanks for the crash course on Bosnian football :)

I watched United-Wolfsburg game for a bit yesterday night. Misimovic and Dzeko looked quite alright.
