I think that essentially a formation with an out-and-out forward would generally mean a higher possibility in quick counter attacking football, whereby the top man would be in a target-man's position and thus be able to release ghost runners on both flanks

This, in comparison to , say , 4-6-0. The build up of play would generally require a lot of beautiful passing football.


I personally agree with the reinvented centre forward, a hybrid, as you guys say, one whose work rate enables him to drop deep into midfield to win possession and even be the fulcrum point of attacks
