i cant understand how there are so many mixed results with the same tactic. it baffles me. personally i think it works good offensively, and limits opposition to few chances, but normally these are blatent chances than end up conceeding. i have a question though, why have the CM in attack and the 3 AM's in support? maybe putting the CM as a BWM or BBM would help give more balance to the defensive midfield. i've also noticed that only the AM on the left moves into channels, the one on the right has wide play as normal, is the CM intended to open up on the right as he two moves into channels? and do u intend the central AM to have more of a playmaker role or a second forward role? thanks
