Episode 66 - Should We Care About Formations?

Pep Guardiola says they’re “nothing more than telephone numbers”.   In Episode 66, we ask…are formations even reliable anymore?   When you first see the starting line-up, the formations given are rarely the formations a team sets up in throughout the 90 minutes. How do they differ in and out of possession? How does the game state influence their approach? Is a 4-3-3 the same for two teams?   We discuss all the above, and more — with a game to start off the episode, for good measure!   Bio Links:   Spitch: https://tinyurl.com/bdf2bdh7;   Learn more about your ad choices.
