to be honest , to me all it matters is to win .even if its a 1-0 . yes without a AMC or a second ST it will be less scoring
but it will be more stable overall .
try keeping the striker just in the opposition penelty are only . never ask him to mark tighter ,never ask him to roam from position and try to keep him to hold position .so this way if the DW and the CM are having ball they can lay down a pass to him and he can finish[/QUOTE
this quote echoes my own belief, the un-tweaked MW tactic isn't one for the staticians out there. The possession count is very even despite the quality of opposition. The CCC count rarely breaches 3 but the CCC conversion rate is superb. Not to mention the famous phrase "it matters not about the quantity of possession, it's more the quality". Sturridge is class as an AF but Suarez is struggling to hit double figures as a F9. I've tinkered & even used aspas as F9 and Suarez as AF but he appears on strike.
Love the teaming up defensively of DW & FB but there's no overlap of full back so I need the F9 to pull his weight, specially a guy of Suarez ability!
