[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is odd. 
Google tactics and formations and read up on the interplay between formations and tactics.

The responses on this thread so far - hard to play direct with only 1 striker - and references to the numerical positions - are almost sub remedial in any help or understanding.

But then again that’s this forum [/quote]

Translated, you can’t follow it. What do you suggest oh wise ass?[/quote]

I suggest:you have to know what your team is capable of, what the other team is trying to do, and your shape, tactics, are built on that. 
At its dumbest level of explanation it is a formation that you see to start.  
Same Formations can be used to play multiple ways.  
A “3-5-2” or a “5-3-2” or “5-4-1” or “4-4-2” etc can almost be indistinguishable in actual play depending on how they are played. 
High press , lo block , etc

For you Americans, it’s like an I formation in football.  Same formation plays differently whether focused on run or pass.  Or if old Peyton is QB v young Mahomes.   Saying the Chiefs play a formation is pretty meaningless.   Reid builds the offense. Asked on what his team can do, what other team is doing, and then tactics.   Kelce plays a position as TE differently than others play same position.

That’s the point.   You can resume discussing formations now.    Cruyff was right about Americans [/quote]

You missed the point completely due to your blind arrogance. Yes, we (Americans) all know “the same formation can be used to play different ways.” The trick is, getting young kids to do it as a well as how you decide to play (slow build ups, fast counter attacks, etc). Yes, you can teach situational tactics too, but you must teach it and the kids must learn it to be successful. Equating the discussion about a 4-2-3-1 to football shows just how much you’re missing the point. Did you ever actually play or coach soccer or any sport for that matter, or are you just a sideline observer?[/quote]
