Stuart Pearce is one of the most respected people in the game. Having played over 550 professional games and managed 3 clubs and England Under-21s, he was a fierce competitor on the field and is a consummate professional off it.
In this series of guides, created in partnership with the LMA, West Ham United first-team coach Pearce presents his definitive approach to the 1-4-3-3 formation and the roles and responsibilities within it.
He breaks down every player's responsibility when playing in a 1-4-3-3, from Goalkeepers to Central Holding Midfielders, Full Backs, Wingers, and Strikers. With diagrams, animations, and footage captured with Pearce at the Home of England Football, St George's Park, this exclusive content is useful for all coaches.
As well as introducing the formation and defining the levels of responsibility that players have within it, Pearce focuses specifically on what is expected of the following positions in a 1-4-3-3:
- Goalkeeper and Centre Backs
- Holding Centre Midfielders
- Centre Midfielders
- Wide Players - Full Backs and Wingers
- Centre Forward
