Michael Carrick’s modernised 4-2-3-1 has helped Middlesbrough win 12 & draw 1 of their last 16 Championship matches.
The movement patterns are similar to top sides across Europe with their back 4 converting to a back 3 whilst creating a box shape in Midfield.
Let’s take a look

This was the line up against Sheff Utd.
Smith (RB) has previously played as a third CB & Giles is comfortable as a wing back/winger. Forming a back 3 suits their profiles.
McGree (LW) is a key creative player & comes infield into the left half space with license to roam.

Archer often drifts out to the left hand side. This opens up space for Akpom (10) to drive through.
Forss is equally comfortable wide or as a CF & Boro will play 4-2-2-2 if Tommy Smith pushes on down the right (2nd pic).
Looking forward to tracking Carrick’s coaching career.
