Smallen Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Stoke are starting the game with a 4-2-4 http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/6910/424b.png Anything like this happened on your game? And why would they put out such an attacking/suicidal formation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevicus Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 It isn't really suicidal, there is still 4 at the back and two in the middle who can track back, and their mentality may not be attacking at all, the formation just makes it look like they want to attack. i assume they just want to win really badly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallen Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 They were 5 points off staying up so they were probably desperate. I think having 4 strikers on the field is meant to mean attack, attack, charge. It turned out to be pretty suicidal anyway, My Bradford PA side thrashed them 5-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhroX Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I remember Reading used to be obsessed with the 4-2-4 in in either '07 or '08 (I forget which). You'd have situations like them being 1-0 up 15 minutes into a tight relegation battle and they'd switch to 4-2-4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
