I realised this when Man Utd sold Beckham. Solsjaer, Scholes and Giggs playing in a system with 3 forwards rotating and playing off RvN. One moment, Solsjaer was a winger, the next, he was creeping in and poaching off loose balls. I realised then that this would be hard for RvN to fit in as he didn't have the fluidity that this system demanded. So when RvN left, I was sad, but I new it was to both sides benefit. Saha had the mobility and was more fluid in blending in with the other forwards.
RVN's departure was never due to his inability to fit into our system. He was sold because he wanted to leave.On the topic, 4-6-0 like verx mentioned, will not show us the actual story of how a team plays. If a team plays 3-5-2, does it really mean they are playing with 3 defender? Not really, they are probably playing with 2 attacking full backs. So, then, are they playing with 5 defenders? Not really again, as they are running up the flanks during attacks, like a normal winger.
A 4-6-0 therefore, can only mean that the 6 midfielders are switching attacking roles, and thus making it hard for man-mark (Which team do it nowadays anyway).
