Hi guys,
I've been trying to get a midfield diamond to work. At the moment my set up is Fluid, Attacking and...
Currently, it's success has been varied. Some games everything clicks, other games it doesn't at all. Instructions are set to retain possession, shorter passing, work ball into box, pass into space, drill crosses, exploit the middle, look for overlap, drop deeper.
Ideally, I'd like the midfield to play like Mourinho's Chelsea did with Makelele/Lampard/Essien, with the wing backs offering the width without totally exposing the defence. Also, the TM aspect seems to work well but having trouble with the partner - neither P or CF/S have reaped many rewards...
Could any of you help me in trying to build a successful diamond? Thanks!
