Always was surely. Or at least, was previously.New thing becomes the old thing, becomes the new thing etc. We’re one step away from the glorious 4 4 facking 2 being back in vogue again.
I’m actually surprised city haven’t tried it with them having 2 great young strikers, hypermobile dm that is somehow also great going forward, and having versatile wingers.

Next step is the 2 defenders 5 attackers imo.
Look at pep at the moment with city. Basically has a goalkeeper, centre backs, 10’s and haaland.
When City first got Haaland they mostly played 442 out of possession lol. 442 as an out of possession shape never seems to go out of fashion
Yeah! Hell, even Van Gaal’s Ajax, maybe the most rigidly tactical team ever, relied on wingers dribbling in 1v1s.
Sean Dyche fans arise
Leicester won the league with 442 in 2016
