Poyet believes van Gaal’s tactics can succeed in the Premier League – and even tried them out himself in two games last season – but insists he will stick to the shape that he feels works best for his players.
“If I had the best two wing-backs and we had to play with two strikers for a certain reason, I would try it. But I prefer four (in defence).
“I changed it last year against Liverpool for one unique reason and that was Luis Suarez. It worked quite well, even though we lost, and for that reason I tried it again (in the following game, which ended in a 2-1 defeat at West Ham) and made a mistake.
“But one of the biggest reasons why Hull did so well last year was playing with three at the back as it suited those players and they were the only team doing that.
“We need to make sure we don’t give their quality players too much space and we need to adapt to their new system.”
