If Dougie played Mason in a midfield 5 and put Beckford up front would everyone be happy then? You could call it 442 and say we had two strikers. If Mason is playing say 2 yards behind Beckford does that qualify as 442? What about 3 yards? In fact what is the acceptable distance? Is it as much as Rooney plays behind RVP i.e. sometimes as much as 10 yards? The "pundits" still call him a striker even though he is playing as a midfielder.
Still don't get why we shouldn't play 451 i.e. with 6 strikers - apart from the fact that none of our midfielders look the threat or contribute the goals they should be doing.
