Perhaps the players lack of effort was more to do with not agreeing with the system they are being asked to play. Fortunately I go back to far to have played in this diamong formation. I watched my son play at full back with it once and I remember by half time he was exhausted by the effort of being expected to provide the width in attack and yet still get back to mark a winger who never went back further than the half way line. Its seems the ideal formation for lazy players to pack the cental midfield and because of the numbers expect others to do their work. Would be very interested to hear if anybody on here has had the misfortune of playing in such a system and their views.
