VANCOUVER, BC – Will Vancouver Whitecaps FC play with a back three in 2018?
It’s certainly a consideration, Carl Robinson told reporters on Wednesday morning in his first media availability of the new year. Robinson’s preferred formation during his tenure as head coach has been the 4-2-3-1, though the ‘Caps also enjoyed a fruitful spell with a 4-1-4-1 this past season.
However, as Robinson noted on Wednesday, more and more teams are finding success with a back three in modern day football and that’s something he said the ‘Caps will look at in the preseason, which officially gets going in less than two weeks’ time.
