Jozy Altidore doesn’t care for the 4-3-3
After just one match in the Bruce Arena 2.0 era, a prominent USMNT attacking player is voicing concerns about the tactics implemented by the second term manager. Jozy Altidore, who celebrated his 100th national team cap in a 0-0 draw against Serbia on Sunday says that the lone striker formation used by Arena for the match (and reportedly throughout all of January camp) isn’t his preferred setup.
"I think it’s no secret — for me, I’m better with kind of a partner up there," Altidore said. "I’m not a huge fan of a 4-3-3. It’s difficult. You need really dynamic guys to be able to play it. We’ll see how it goes."
