Key Points:

  • 4-3-3 deep build-up shape
  • How going back to a back 4 is better for the short and long term
  • Junior in a much more natural role
  • 4-4-2 turned man-to-man out of possession approach
  • Why Michael Duff deserves full praise!

IN POSSESSION:

In a deep build-up, Duff set us up in a 4-3-3 with Luke Leahy as the lone pivot and the eights higher. Key to note is that the eights weren't static with their positioning from a vertical point of view, they were open to dropping deep to pick up the ball when necessary, which is VITAL when playing with one pivot instead of two.
