The difference between 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 is that 4-3-3 can effectively become a 4-5-1 when we're without the ball making us harder to break down and gives our defenders more protection. 4-4-2 can leave us exposed, especially if the 2 wide players become passengers. 4-3-3also gives us more bodies in the middle of the park so we are likely to win more second balls in that area and gain more possession. Note that in a 4-3-3, the 3 midfielders play narrow and it's up to the 2 wide attackers to give us our width, thus giving us more bodies across the middle of the pitch.

Anyway, trust in Keates and Darlo to work out the best system for us. They know what they are doing and we're in very capable hands.
