Sure, you can have sterile domination against the small teams but you got battered against the big boys. http://www.zonalmarking.net/2014/03/...ol-win-easily/

Not posted to gloat, but to provide a perfect example - and hey, it agrees with what you said to ADX about the defence too! 4-4-2 is an old fashioned formation that works well if you have the right midfielders. And I mean Yaya Toure or Cesc Fabregas quality. Steven Gerrard of 10 years ago. Roy Keane of 15 years ago. Herrera, from what I've seen, does not have the mobility to do that job.

Better off with 4-3-3 or your own diamond.
