It doesnât matter how little knowledge they have. If they are being told exactly where to stand on the pitch, that means that the coach is using a formation
No it doesnât.
Iâd like to hear your definition of a formation so if you think that
What you and Henry are describing is simply position when they gain possession.
If you freeze frame anything you could call it a formation.
Sport is a series of chaotic âformationsâ
Yes a position that the players get into every time they have the ball. Thatâs a formation. What do you think Guardiola does if he doesnât use a formation?
Set of principals
You are going to have to learn this yourself fella.
Get coaching. Its fun.
A never ending rabbit hole, but fun
Such as the team shape being in a certain formation when they have the ball. Telling me to get coaching is just trying to deflect from the nonsense you are talking
Its only nonsense becaise you cannot make sense of it.
There is very little i can do to explain without sitting down in front ofbya or on a pitch and elactually spelling it out.
And thats not being condecending, its simply not easy to explain.
But no. Not necessarily in regards to shape of team with ball.
Every manager uses a formation. Some of those are more fluid and changeable than others. It just so happens that you used the worst possible example of a manager to show one who doesnât
It just shows he does such a good job.
What?
You think its simple and obvious.
Anyway, i have explained this enough.
You donât want to look at it differently. Thats fine. Off with ya.
You havenât explained it at all. I donât think you know what a formation is
I explained it a way above. You have choosen to ignore it.
As its beyond your oresent knowledge
You havenât explained anywhere how Pep Guardiola doesnât use a formation, and you canât because he clearly does. Even if you are more philosophy than systems based you still have a formation
No you donât.
A formation you stay with for an entire game or until you deliberately change it.
Yes you do, every team in world football has a formation when they play kev, and Guardiola puts a particular emphasis on team shape more than most other managers
