4-2-3-1 Narrow

[pvtsilver]

Did anyone managed to do something that works with default Southampton tactic? I mean a narrow 4-2-3-1 with AM's instead of wingers/inside forwards?

I've been struggling a lot with this formation and also with narrow 4312. Either I am poor tactician or ME doesn't like narrow formations. I'd like to see if someone was succesfull with it.

Guys, Post screens of your tactics. Lets see if anythin' can be changed.

ive tried this formation so many times but again like yourself have had no success, ideally id love to emulate pochettinos formation at southampton with my team pressing high with constant pressure, fullbacks bombing up the wings whilst two deeper midfielders hold up the ball and a false 9 infront of 3 creative attacking central midfielders but it just never seems to work :-(

I will post some screens tomorrow. I made something that is not crazy good, but is at least work. Its still worst than my 4-2-3-1 wide with IF, but still, mayb someone here will help with tweaking. Its based on Southampton formation and mentality shown here Liverpool 0 Southampton 1 | Post Match Tactical Analysis and here http://eplindex.com/29962/epls-underrated-midfields-tactical-stats-comparison-europes-elite.html
