Saturday was not a fun day for the New England Revolution and their fans. The club struggled against a Nashville side that they should be defeating. Does part of the blame go to how New England ended up lining up?
Revolution fans have seen New England use two formations to start games this season. Bruce Arena has played with the idea of lining up in a 4-4-2 as well as playing in a 4-2-3-1.
The 2021 debut of the 4-2-3-1 came in New England’s best performance of the season so far against Atlanta United. Carles Gil was dominating in a more central role and Tajon Buchanan was able to start on the right side.
