manutd327Reason for wingback movement: both are excellent going forward and as such they need to be offensively involved.

Stankovic and Gerrard do not play next to each other but rather one over the other to give them both their own purpose in this formation.

Vicente and Salihamidzic are going to fulfill standard right and left midfield positions with support and play with the wingbacks.

Inzaghi is put slightly more forward than villa because inzaghi is a poacher and villa is someone who can be involved in the build up as well.

Overall it is a more offensively minded formation that offers a lot of triangular passing formation and constant openings for through balls. Having Gerrard behind the strikers also allows for shooting attempts slightly outside of the box

ZolaIs Panucci realy a central defender? I thought he played as a right back.
