An evaluation of Toronto FC’s current squad and whether the team has the right pieces to play Bob Bradley’s preferred 4-3-3 system.
In Part 1 of this article series, I reviewed what the 4-3-3 formation is, why the formation is so popular and assessed whether TFC’s defensive pieces were a good fit for this system. In Part 2, I will evaluate TFC’s midfield players to see whether they are ideal fits for the 4-3-3 formation.
The midfield is undeniably the most important part of any formation. Midfielders are generally the main links between the defence and attack, and are also tasked with contributing at both ends of the field.
