I don't know if I am the only one who finds this, but more often than not it is the choice of mentality for a tactic that I spend most time over deciding what I think is the best one for what I want to achieve with a tactic.
There are some great guides out there which I have read and I understand the principals behind Defensive, Attacking etc but I still find it hard to nail down what I think would work best. So I was wondering if people have created their own very simple 'rule of thumb' when it comes to deciding what you start with as a base before changing individual roles.
For my current tactic I want to create chances, play great to watch attacking football and be aggressive / pressing off the ball. But in possession I want my goal scoring oppurtunites to be by clever passing and movement. So pulling defenders out of position for someone to find the space.
So I find myself at odds where an attacking approach fits the 1st part of the above by stretching play, pressing, higher line but then defensive would give me a base of taking time, slower transition to pull opposition towards you which may allow gaps to be developed by movement.
If it helps my current formation is a take on 3-4-3
2 CB'S
Half back sat in front.
2 WB'S
2 CM'S
A front 3 - currently going for 2 SS with a TREQ in the middle.
Appreciate any tips that people give themselves in deciding what to go with.
