442 is NOT DEAD

Are people still using this tactic?

Still using the original 442 in my second season at Chelsea, i think the tactic has definitely taken a hit from second season syndrome so about to do some experimenting with the other formations. Bit of a shame though as I quite liked playing with two strikers :(

Just testing at the mo
 
Used the V1 away/wasting time version of this to try and end my run of 10 league games without a win dating back to last season. Match was at Hull, so was expecting a nightmare as we were on terrible form and in poor morale.

Considering I slapped it in on match day, I'm surprised that we won. I think the defense will sort itself out once the players get used to the changes in tactics & training. I'll happily take it though, and hope for better things going forward.

EDIT: Used for a few more matches. Got thrashed 6-3 by PSG in the Champions League, and then came back with a 1-0 win against Reading. Then Bristol City in the Capital One Cup, thrashed 4-1 with a team of fringe first teamers and U-21's, most of whom will never get a game for me again because they constantly play down to their abilities.

Very mixed results. Disappointing as we've been predicted 9th and I feel we have a team that can produce better. I'll give it a few more games to get to completely fluid, but I'm very disappointed with what I've seen so far. :(

EDIT #2: Grinded out a 1-0 win at Stoke. With all the other results people are posting, I'm still a bit worried because we're not scoring. Even though we're doing just enough to win a few games, we're not looking very convincing at all.

EDIT #3 (Last one): Lost 2-1 at home against bottom of the table Bournemouth, putting our good run to a halt. Switched to the waste time tactic after 75 mins, threw away the lead, and then threw away a point. This set just does not work for me for some reason. I sure as **** know it isn't the players fault, they still get decent ratings.

After a 5-4 defeat to Everton, the players complained after being fined for various failures. A revolt occurred, and I have resigned as Pools manager. This tactic has sadly cost me my job. I have no clue how the lot of you are getting all these great results, but it just hasn't worked and I am extremely disappointed.
