The merits or otherwise of the 3-5-2 system is a subject that is never out of the news for too long. Even though most top class teams now favour four at the back as their first choice, on the continent as well as in Britain, it is often advocated as the way forward in various situations, as in the build up to the last two England games. It is often proposed on this forum, and whilst it always looks tempting on paper, there seems little appetite on the part of the game’s professionals to give it a go.
