paracoolo Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Pep Guardiola in the 2nd half of the 2020/21 season used a 442 with double f9 and dominated with it to win another PL. The tactic: As I try to emulate this tactic with 23/24 City, I've decided to create my own variation of it. ( Since Cancelo and Zinny are not there anymore, it is very hard to reproduce what they are doing with aké and gvardiol. So here's my variation: and this is the shape we want to recreate: so turning a 442 into a 3-3-4 kinda... Interesting isn't it? So in this thread, I will try to find a way to make the variation look like the 334 shape. Enjoy! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paracoolo Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 On the Pitch: theres already an issue with trying kovacic as a RPM in the cm position is that he goes too much up and not enough in the middle, so I'll try to put him in the DM position to see if it helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paracoolo Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 Even in the DMCL position, kova operates too much in the halfspace so I've decided to try him DM and look at the results: its not perfect but at least its better than Before. Probably if i do IWB instead of L-SU , the rpm will probably stay in the middle much more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosque Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hi! RPM and AP go to the AM strata because of the positional play introduction. Try him as a DLP. I find the DLP to go side to side where the ball is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 334 will form if you use the DLP in the DM strata, but if he is in the CM (where the RPM is now) you will have the 3-2-1. Is a matter of testing.
