Baba we're not saying that 4-2-3-1 system is a bad one in general; no, many big teams and coaches make use of it, so it does have good futures, agreed.
BUT, what I/we am/are saying i that this system has proven not to be working for us in TM!!
There are 2 options:
1) a coach has a system in mind and selects his players based on that system;
2) a coach selects players and comes up with a system that fits these selected players.
At this moment (and also in the past), we had players who did not fit this system but we forced them to play it, even though it was obvious it wouldn't work!
We have a very slow defence, so we can't press and play far from our goal.
Now we have 2 out of form DM's, one who's average at best (Ando), who can't give decent passes even if their lifes depended on it, so the transition from defence to offense is horrible.
This totally puts our side players out of the game. We have 2 rookies on the sides, and even before, didn't have the right people on these positions (ok on the right we had Kia, but he's been declining and on the left we never really had anyone for this position).
With this formation the wingplayers are vital and there should be a playmaker who can open up spaces and add up to or close the 18 box, the transition from defence to offence is so bad that this half-playmaker (Shojaei) was forced to the sides all the time and had to do way too much.
That brings us to the offense...when you know you're playing a weaker team who's come to defend with all they have, you don't put 1 striker inbetween 3-4 defenders, specially with players behind him who can't give one decent pass/cross!
Hell, even if Drogba was playing, still he wouldn't have been able to score with the balls he was fed (or lack of it in this case).
This system does not work for us, and the results and performances have proven this! Daei should come up with a formation that the players are comfortable with and which fits this team and its players!
I don't care how many of the players have played under this system at their clubs...ok perhaps the system works for those set of players...but when it's been so obvious that it simply does not work for the players who're selected in TM, then other measures have to be considered.
When I say a coach has to be flexible and look at the players he has in his squad and then find a suitable system to play, it reminds me of Branko and how he tried to force Hashemian to play on the left in order to play the 4-2-3-1 system and to have Daei upfront
It hurt my eyes seeing how VH was struggling at that position back then.
