Thats a load of rubbish. Remember when we played Ipswich in 1981, we played with a back 4. The ball was played out to Obrien and was quickly worked down the wing with a series of one twos between Ian Mac and Gordon Mair. Mair ended the move by putting the ball into the net. If your players are good enough you should be able to attacking football with a typical back 4...

Ahh yes, I remember it well. But my memory is slightly less blurred..

And the ball was played out from the back....With the players looking to pass the ball forward, instead of looking to pass the ball backwards at every opportunity. Jimmy Sirrell would turn in his grave if any of his players kept doing that...
