The Vent Thread #2

Actually I remember years ago in Scottish Premier a manager playing what would be a top11 illegal formation and winning with it. When his team was losing with half an hour of the game left he switched to 2 defenders and everyone else in midfield or upfront. A couple of times they turned the match around and won. Of course a couple of times they also got fooking destroyed, losing by 4 or 5 goals. It's competition, freak results happen. Maybe the ratio in top 11 is more than it should be, but it certainly shouldn't be zero.

You talking about Jimmy Calderwood when he was at Aberdeen?

There is a big difference from putting everyone in midfield or upfront towards the end of a game if your losing and playing the whole 90mins like that.

Serious question Cat - when have you ever seen a team with only 20% possession in a game win? I haven't. In fact, you rarely see teams with less than 40% winning, but never 20%.
