We went to back 4, scored 3 goals looked good. Went to back 3 at end of game and looked bad. Come on Conte not rocket science xD

I hope Lopetegui doesn't call Morata as one of the 3 forwards for the Wordcup. He does not deserve going instead of Aspas, Costa or Rodrigo.

It is known he will only call 3 forwards since a lot of time ago. Spain has a lot of good midfields and they usually only play 1 forward at the same time.

Depends how you classify forward. If you check out the wikipedia squads for 2014, there are teams with 3 to 6 "forwards".

4 strikers for world cup is normal in a 23 man squad?

3 Keepers
8 Defenders
9 Midfielders
4 Forwards

Normal no? If not it's like 9 Def or 10 Mid and 3 Forwards?

Your list sums 24 players xDD

Spain usually nominate 8 defenders, 9 midfields and 3 forwards as there are a surplus of midfields. In addition, some midfields like Silva can play as false nine.

I know it is common for other national teams to select 4 forwards.

Yea. Our back 3 looks hella shaky without David Luiz in the middle. Christensen is too slow for that role. Sad cuz he's quite a good defender...

LOL
3-8-8-4 then :3 but 8 defenders is alot cuz its 2x each position and 4 centre halves. With England we get to take Young as a leftback/winger as well.

Yeah no idea what it is and we are playing for nothing. Lets just try something different. Back 4 with 2 sat in front and then 4 going forward!

Haha was funny that.

Good game this for a 0-0, West Bom playing very well again considering they managerless and bottom of the table. Yanited turning the screw and Foster made a great save just.

Oh 1-0 West Brom haha! City winning title if yanited can't draw/win

congrats man city.
this game is the perfect example of why we couldnt win the season. the team just decides that they occasionally want to play like theyve just met each other for the first time.
cant count how many times players crossed paths and blocked each other, or just crowd the centre of the pitch because every wide player wants to cut in.
