What tactical approach do you favor this season?
Opinions!
I thought it would be cool to narrow the field and use a target man with two running strikers -- a narrow 4-3-3, where the wingbacks are the only real wide play. Doyle pointed out correctly today that Altidore is best on the run, and I think the same is true of Gilberto. So why not play to that strength by using a traditional target man system, where he holds the ball up at the top of the box for the oncoming players? It would solve the number 10 issue, to a degree, and our lack of strength on the wings. The three central midfielders would play flat, and shift to help out on the wing defensively, forcing the other team to play the switch, which in turn allows us to counter.
---Alitdore--Dike/Hamilton--Gilberto
----Jackson--------Bradley---
-----------Delgado--------------
Morrow--Caldwell--Hagglund--Bloom
--------------Bendik-------------
I know it's not a pretty style but it would play to our strengths.
