A lot of posters on this site have been wanting to play the system we have played recently for a long time.
With no natural wingers as such in the squad for the last few years it seemed that 442 was a better fit for our personnel.
Jessie or mata at the top of the diamond plays to their strengths. Imo.
It would allow ddg or some people to see martial play as a striker as it would leave martial rash sanchez and lukaku for the 2 spots.

I think two up top is great to see. It gives us different out balls and gives us a chance to get up the pitch more.

I miss the days of great striking partnerships. Everyone seems to be playing 1 up top these days but I don't think defenders are as good as 15 years ago. definitely more athletic but top defenders like Maldini and Stam made you have to think about the game and not rely on pace and power only. that's when a you saw great partnerships work. They knew each others games and it was more exciting in my opinion.

I look at Arsenals defense and think the might have kittens dealing with two strikers and runners from deep.

Lukaku’s post match comments were interesting. He realises he is now second choice behind Rashford but instead of complaining he praised him and said how much he enjoys playing with him. A very subtle way of saying to Ole ‘play both of us’.
