We're not playing 4-4-2. No one really does anymore ffs.

Yeah but no-one whacks 11 men behind the ball and refuses to attack against most other teams either so I can still see it happening in more than a few games.
If they both leave and we don't attempt to replace them, I'd say it would be relatively optimistic to then expect to finish 4th.
4-4-2 all the way, we've messed about with shte formations for years to no avail, let's go back to something that works.
Buy Sneijder and Mata.
WE CANT BUY THOSE 2 IT WILL DAMAGE THE FUTURES OF RYO AND "anyotherunknownshitfuck"
Huh? Why not go back to 3-2-2-3 like we did back in the 60s...
Why? Because the sport goes through phases. Tactics and training methods change the dictate the way formations are implemented and changes to the game like rules or fitness alter the pros and cons of formations. 4-4-2 or more realistically 4-4-1-1 isn't dead, but it isn't fun to watch and it really depends on having the right people in midfield. Specifically with 4-4-2, it is exceptionally hard to dominate the midfield with it. United and us did 4-4-1-1 it a few times last season with Rooney/rvp dropping back into the deep lying striker role, both with mixed results.
The thing about 4-5-1 is the fexiblity in which it alters into 4-3-3 during attack.
