4-5-1 could be seen as a defensive formation, however if the two midfield wingers play a more attacking role it can be likened to 4-3-3. The formation can be used to grind out 0-0 draws or preserve a lead, as the packing of the centre midfield makes it difficult for the opposition to build-up play. Because of the 'closeness' of the midfield, the opposing team's forwards will often be starved of possession. However, due to the lone striker, the centre of the midfield does have the responsibility of pushing forward as well. The defensive midfielder will often control the pace of the game.

Dumb diggi-diggi-di dumb di-dumb
And 'though I know it would be fun to get some
Gotta run now, gotta go
Gotta get home
Cos my baby's boy's on his own
Better be Dumb diggi-diggi-di dumb di-dumb
And 'though I know it would be fun to get some
Gotta run now
I gots ta get home,
My baby boy's on his own,

Up on the dancefloor
Then ya go ask for a night in with me
But ya know that aint gon' happen
I wont get trapped in
This, see, it just aint me
And you can try, seduce me
But its no use, see
I'm in love with my baby
And I wont let you in
Mess up and move in
To do that I'd be crazy

Cos my mans at home
Lookin at the finger his ring goes on
He got trust in me
How'm I gonna live with myself if I cheat

Dumb diggi-diggi-di dumb di-dumb don't want none
And 'though I know it would be fun to get some
Gotta run now, gotta go
Gotta get home
Cos my baby's boy's on his own

Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 21 November 2007 22:17 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm utterly shocked that it turned out like this. Who'd have thought a guy appointed because the premierleague wanted a dickhead (B Barwick) would have worked with the former Chairman of Altrincham and Sheffield Wednesday to appoint a guy who was third chocie because a Premier League club wanted it (S McLaren) and it all ended up a bit shit.

The Boyler, Wednesday, 21 November 2007 22:18 (sixteen years ago) link

In his defence. Because he's rubbish there was no point trying to change the already crappy england team. He just would have made it worse. And the media would have slaughtered him if he'd dropped the superstars. He simply filled the space between Sven and whatever silly business comes next.

=it's never ceases to amaze me how many of the worst footballing organisations have senile corrupt germans as their heads.

I'm struggling to think of one. No German has ever run FIFA; Gerhard Aigner was Gen Sec of UEFA (not President) and was defo about 8/10 for my money. I'm sure corrupt germans have at some stage run the German FA, but most sensible commentators acknowledge the DFB is the best run and most on-the-ball in Europe.

Carry on.
