In fact, the last time we played Molde it was a 4-2-3-1 with Willock in pockets behind the striker but darting into the box to become a goal threat and in line with the striker. He's just swapped Willock for Laca and I suspect Arteta wanted Laca to do a similar role. Just depends on the type of player Arteta plays in that position. If it were Ozil he'd naturally drift to wide positions and find space around the box but not be a goal threat.
That is wrong.
Against Molde we played 3-4-3.

I even showed you the still pictures ffs.
Willock played in a 2 with Ceballos, Xhaka was filling in, in the back 3, same way he did against Dundalk.
I'm not sure why some people do this to themselves?
In the end of the day you saying "the difference is marginal" well you could say that for every formation in football, there's 11 players and 10 of them move around, however I and most people can see the positions and the different effect that has on how the team is set up to play.
So, it might look marginal but the outcomes can be highly varied, especially when your trying to play the right players in their correct and most effective positions.
