Here’s some tactical analysis about Labbadia’s Wolfsburg.

The author wrote it in March. At that point Labbadia started to move back to the 433 from the 4312 he used in the middle of the season.
The thing with Labbadia is that it’s best to not try to predict what he’s going to do with a new club. He’s not like Klopp or Pulis where you can predict what they’re going to with style, formation, tactics etc. With Labbadia he does what’s best with the squad he has.
For example his Stuttgart team played a counter-attacking style in a 4231 and defended in a compact, 2 banks of 4 style. At Hamburg he blended a possession based game with a counter-attacking game in a 4231, and also used 442, and defended similar to his Stuttgart team. At Wolfsburg its been high pressing possession football blended with more direct football in 433 or 4312 rather than his more preferred 4231 because of Wolfsburg’s abundance of centre midfielders and lack of a quality 10.
