Pep Guardiola says they’re “nothing more than telephone numbers”. In Episode 66, we ask…are formations even reliable anymore? When you first see the starting line-up, the formations given are rarely the formations a team sets up in throughout the 90 minutes. How do they differ in and out of possession? How does the game state influence their approach? Is a 4-3-3 the same for two teams? We discuss all the above, and more — with a game to start off the episode, for good measure!
