Ronaldo only played upfront a few times. Feel free to prove me wrong.

I'm not trying to prove you wrong. I'm telling you we never played 4411 EVER when Ronaldo was here. And for the big games it was always 433
 
I must've imagined Rooney playing in the hole behind first Ruud and then Saha then :confused:

Really to me it was just 442.

The way i interpret the difference in formations i believe you are both right.

4-4-2 and 4-4-1-1 are in effect the same formation, the only difference is which type of players are employed and the respective roles they perform within that same system.

Rooney is a second striker and therefore drops deeper more times than getting beyond the front man therefore easily can be perceived as 4-4-1-1. The same applies with 4-3-3 and 4-5-1. My view of 4-5-1 is when the 2 most advanced wide players are generally more midfield providers than goalscorers. If the opposite is true then you have a 4-3-3.

Our current formation for instance could easily be described as 4-2-3-1. With Carrick and Giggs playing deeper and Rooney, Park and Valencia being more advanced behind Hernandez. Others may say 4-4-2, yet others 4-4-1-1.

It's all semantics really, simply a question of how you interpret who performs what role predominantly within games.
 
Inter coach Leonardo hints he is ready to sell players that aren't committed, namely Sneijder:

"At the moment no one is non-transferable. Inter are a team full of players who have won everything in the game. Now we must see who among those want to stay and help us win more."

Bah no biggie, Sanchez and Modric are next on the radar. £50-60million should seal both. Get on it Fergie!
 
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have Sneijder at United and he's obviously class but if both men said yes, I'd rather we get Modric.

Proven in the English game, and a lot more durable to the types of challenges he'll encounter. Plus, while he doesn't score as much as Sneijder, Modric I feel is a lot more unselfish and works harder which will complement the team.
 
Sneijder: "I stay"

Just like Ronaldo then?

Sneijder to United WILL happen. We need to believe!
 
Expect after this news, links to Hamsik again in the next week.
 
Although it may still happen, it always seemed unlikely with Rooney playing in that CAM/SS position in the big games and some form from Anderson going forward.
