Just kidding, but I am happy that I caught your attention.
The 4-4-2 system of play. Why so popular in all the wrong places?
I see it everywhere ... high school, house league, wee lads, senior men, etc.
The truth is very few coaches know how to coach it and very few players can handle it.
Don't believe me? Next time you watch a game, see if you can detect 3 lines straight across the pitch. Four defenders, four midfielder and two strikers. Straight across, as if positioned by a surveying crew. Big wide gaps that a cargo ship can pass through, just waiting for opponents to drop balls in to and get behind your players.
