the only trouble with us is when whoever is upfront cole, piq, get isolated the temptation to hoof gets desirable . id much rather see 4-4-2 even if it is outdated, atleast that way we have more chance to link up the frontmen instead of 5 midfielders treading on each other
I don't think we have the personnel to play 4-4-2 to be honest..
It's all about the two outside Attackers getting closer to our Mian Striker with one &/or two from the Midfield supporting Centrally too, as has been pointed out this should be Nolan plus one for me.
We can score Goals with that attackign 4 or 5..
There's nothing wrong with 4-4-2 anyway, it's a very solid Formation that regulary wins Games of Football in the Premier League & elsewhere.
Formations are flexible anyway and all they are really is an outline of the sort of shape a Team wants to have to start with, a decent Team should be able to change formation at will DURING a Game & generally does due to the circumstances of the Game & the different challenges in the 90 mins.
