Rev Owl Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) I think somewhere on the previous page someone explained the inverted pyramid. I still don't know what it is. I like football, it's exciting. Edited July 23, 2020 by Rev Owl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the top teams do actually end up in a 2-3-5 in attack, fullbacks push up that far for Liverpool, and for City 2 of the midfielders push up that far often and fullbacks go in to midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Forward Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 43 minutes ago, heppers said: center-forward who are more focused on distributing the ball to his wingers and teammates than on scoring himself - the intimation, perhaps, of the false nine. The pyramid has remained the global default since the change in the number of subs. It needs inverting. It seems obvious without a 20 goal a year striker. The only way to have 6+ players that score more than 8. having one player that scores more than eight would be good start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ship goals in for fun, so 2 at the back would be a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlett Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) I prefer the W M formation popular in the 1930's called the W M as it resembles ......er.........well a W and an M in the formation. Defenders forming a W.............and the attacking players an M 1 Goalkeeper 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ^ | | 9 10 11 A sort of 3 - 2 - 2 - 3 And by making the centre forward the No: 10........you can also incorporate the " false No: 9 " tactic ( also popular in the 30S) as well where the centre forward can track back to fill the gap in midfield ( indicated by the crappy arrow above the No: 10. ) Of course we could just revert to the 2 - 3 - 5 formation ( inverted pyramid ) as well. ( were'nt we playing that in the 60's ? ) Inverted Pyramid Edited July 23, 2020 by Captain Scarlett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJMortimer Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 So is this the football equivalent of skim-reading Stephen Hawking's 'A Brief History of Time' and then proclaiming that I understand all the secrets of the universe and that the rest of you are mere foolish plebs? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the top sides do it yet we persist with old fashioned methods and get caught out. It’s never been more obvious than the 2nd half of this season yet Monk is oblivious. That speaks volumes. A terrific book by Jonathan Wilson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
