Hi guys,
I've been trying to get this 433 tactic working effeciently with Arsenal, but I'm struggling to find any form of consistency. One game it will win 5-0, next game it will lose 3-1 to a weak opponent. Away games especially are an issue here, even against poor teams I'm struggling to gain control of matches and create chances. Away games against top 6 teams are impossible and almost always result in me being completely overwhelmed and losing.
To start off, here is the tactic:
Esentially, what I'm trying to end up with is a 3-2-5 structure in attack with the wingers staying wide in the buildup, the two number eights attacking the half spaces, and the striker dropping deeper to help link everything up before attacking the box himself. Zinchenko should be positioning himself next to Rice to form a double pivot, whilst White tucks inside to form a back three, as demonstrated here:
This is not dissimilar to how Arsenal currently play in real life, only I've found Ben White's real life role to be impossible to replicate, as he tends to operate as an IFB, and IWB and a WB depending on the phase of play etc.
My pass maps tend to look something like this:
Any ideas on how I can improve the tactic? As mentioned, it's not too bad and it is getting results at home, but it's just so inconsistent and I can't seem to get any of the players to play well for 2 games in a row.
Sorry for the long post.
