I really like the look of that team - I don't know in all honesty if it's what we should be playing.
However, If we play that team, does it isolate our midfield / top men? Does it force us to play more "long balls" to relatively small top men? Does it encourage Man U to go forward as we are shorter in the attacking areas?
Do we want Man Utd to come at us? Do we want those extra bodies in the back to stop them having space? Will the 3 CDM's alternate in going forward?
So many questions! I hope Irvine doesn't not go with these sort of formations because of pressure thinking that we are going to "park the bus" though!
