It's a sophisticated formation that requires a lot of discipline and a huge engine from your 3 central midfielders, but we have the personnel in Ramsey, Torreira and Guendouzi.
Even your strikers will have to track back regularly or you will end up getting overrun.
What helps is that Auba/Özil/Laca can share the defensive work load.
Full backs provide much-needed width with midfielders giving cover which we are already doing now.
Torreira having over a 100 games experience in this particular formation is another plus.
Tbf we've been saying 41212 since the summer, which is basically a 4312. It's clear that it will get the best out of our front 3.
