Movement of the team

Distances of back four and how deep they drop

As a team we will set up and move as shown.

1 Strikers will move across nearest to cut line off for pass into midfield.

Other striker to sit on deepest midfielder.

Both central midfielders come across and both be aware of oppostion midfielder and cut off passing lane into strikers.

Wide players , nearest one will get tight to the wide player as he is the next passing option. Other wide player comes across and almost sits on furthest central midfielder as opposite wide attacking player is least dangerous

Back four both centre backs keep their strikers in front of them , cant get pulled out too far as it is a very deep line and runners will stay on side.

Full backs will narrow up not leaving space between defenders.

weaknesses

Weaknesses

1Long spells without the ball ( Test on players concentration)

2 Being so deep we cant allow for any mistakes as it will result in a shot on goal.

3 Very deep and will be hard to get an out ball to set off an attack

4 Tired after working for long time to get ball back , could give possesion away cheaply.

5 Need to be disciplined working as a team in units, everyone has to stick to thier role and responsibilities.
