Yes, I like to rotate them around abit. I have one keeper, but sometimes play him outfield, He is quite a handy defender as well. If he is playing outfield, then I put one of the other lads in nets (usually, the one of the 3 that want to do it) It works quite well as our main striker is now a good goalkeeper.

Hi Richard,
Position is obviously something you will have to coach as no matter what role you ask a player to perform, if they are not able to understand how that fits into a field of play you will always have problems. How many defenders do you have in your squad? Are you attacker heavy because thats where they told you they want to play? U14 are able to be moulded but you have to sell the position to them. If you have 1 very good defender perhaps look at getting him to sweep behind a back 3, this way you have 1 last line of defence for the wayward pass forward from an attacker? Can any attackers play as wingers? if so play 5 in midfield allowing the two wingers to push forward which will leave you with 4 in midfield at any one time? Give your players options ie. I am looking for an attacking winger/midfielder as I have too many forwards, is anyone comfortable with this role as I will have to sacrific some attackers, you will see a change in mind set straight away! Good luck, Trevor Last edited by Trev Knight : 15-10-2007 at 02:31 PM. |

I play a 352 but was recently beeten badly and we have not been playing up to par as of late. I have 3 natural defenders, 1 central and 2 fast, solid backs. I am thinking of solidifying the defence moving to a flat 4 and encurage the outside backs to push up. They both resist the opportunities to move forward. both have played wing in the past.
How can i encourge and train this tactic? I will maintain the 352 for use when tactically advantageous.Thanks for any help! Last edited by andrew : 01-11-2007 at 08:45 PM. |

IMO your starting point should be man to man.Thats if you are about development.We want individual players who can operate 1 on 1.However you have to know your stuff eg when defending- how to mark men and space off the ball,distances,when to pass over,how to close down etc etc.Once they can do this then operate a number of formations to build up understanding
