Why is everybody obsessed with the system?

Are you now saying that 4-3-3 is not a valid footballing system at a top level?

Better not tell Barcelona, Ajax, Real Madrid, Liverpool et al

        It's probably more about players doing their jobs properly tbh (NCFC) - jamesward, Aug 23, 11:37:20
        
        Precisely. (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Aug 23, 11:45:37
        
        Yes, agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 23, 12:34:59
        
        Should he? The way Rupp gets singled out by our fans is odd (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 23, 11:47:43
        
        I agree but am assuming Farke’s criticism of him was warranted on Saturday. (n/m) (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Aug 23, 12:23:40
        
        You didn't see the game? (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Aug 23, 13:13:01

        And if they are doing that then how to we progress the ball with Gilmour? (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 23, 11:45:33
        
        Quite often Rashica was back trying to help out (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 23, 11:42:18
        
        Maybe. We used our full backs to progress the ball (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 23, 11:35:58
