4-5-1

You beat me to it :lol:

Honestly though, I'm baffled. I can't think of a single reason to play this formation. Not one. And yet we play it again and again.

I SWEAR IM GOING TO ****ING BEAT THE **** OUT JOSE MOURINHO (HE IS THE REASON WE ARE USING 451) IF I EVER COME ACROSS HIM.

Wenger is a hypocrite. He said the football should have attacking football and the 451 eliminates this, and he uses the 451...

I still haven't decided what pisses me off more, Henry as a captain or this 4-5-1 thingy.

I'd say Henry as a captain. 451 would work if we put someone like Van Persie of Adebayor in the middle, with Henry at the left side.

I dont understand why Wenger is sticking by this, its sooo frustrating to watch.

Henry is not a lone striker!

Though our formation wasent the only problem today, we cant challenge for a ball, and Gilberto really is invisible...and crap

i hate the 451 our style is attack and should always be that ..
but if were gona play it then we should at least play it the right ****ing way
The whole point of playing five in the middle is to make it stronger there...
so whats the ****ing point if 4 of our 5 midfielders are attacking players!!!
There has to be to strong cm in there for it to work out of flamini/diaby/gilberto there should be two in a five man midfield although gilberto doesnt ****ing two deserve to play again EVER

When did anyone think this was our best formation?

I hate it, it doesn't suit our style and Henry is piss poor playing as a lone striker.

you dirty stealing bastard, that's exactly my thoughts :lol:

seriously i'm baffled at which one i hate most, but for now, we're stuck with henry as captain, we're not stuck with 4-5-1 so let's change it.

Do you know we've never won a game playing 4-5-1 ever?

At least with all these defeats, Wenger can't keep deluding himself into thinking this is the way too go.

Even when we've managed to scrape victories over the likes of Charlton, the team has never looked comfortable playing this formation.

Henry as a lone striker. :lol:

It's brillliant to be honest,it's actually 4-6-0,another Wenger masterstroke,anyone of the 6 midfielders can score,we just need to get used to it.

It is'nt total football,but that is extinct anyways.It's just as close to it as any other formation can get.None of the 6 midfielders have a specific position they can play anywhere.I don't understand what all teh fuss is about.It ll click.

Wenger was devastated today though, I think maybe, just maybe, he has realised this will never work.

It doesn't work. Every time we start with the 4-5-1 formation I have a sinking feeling. I really hope we don't use it again.
