Do we have the players for a 4-4-2? If everyone is fit..
Butland
Johnson Ryan Wolly Pieters
Arnie Allen Imbula Shaq
Bojan Diouf
As much as I like the 4-4-2, I don't think we have the players for the system now.

Has Hughes ever played 4-4-2 since he's been here ?

Has Hughes ever played 4-4-2 since he's been here ? Yes.. Against Arsenal away last season with Diouf and Jos up top, for one. We lost. Finished many a game 442 and putting SJW on for Imbula it kind of but didn't really become that today. We don't seem to have the requisite mid two for it imo.

Has Hughes ever played 4-4-2 since he's been here ? No he hasn't but just thinking out loud. Phil Neville mentioned on MOTD how successful it was for the likes of Leicester and Atletico Madrid last season. It's a solid formation where players know their role. You're right though, it won't be happening down at Stoke any time soon stand corrected cheese

IF and that's a big IF, we signed Berahino and even RVP I think we'd have the right foundations to play 4-4-2 and I think we'd be daft not to. Obviously with a fit team I'd play...
Butland
Johnson Shawcross Wollschied/new CB Pieters
Shaqiri Allen Imbula Arnautovic
Berahino Van Persie
If we don't sign RVP I think Joselu would suit 4-4-2 more than he fits into our current system so I'd play him with Berahino instead

He won't play 4-4-2 because he will not be able to fit all his midfielders into the system, one of his most expensive signings will be left on the bench and he will lose face.

Not sure if Jos touched the ball once that day.

If we want to play 442 with the squad we have I think we'd need
A Whelan upgrade to play alongside Allen Sobhi on one side Arni the other A nippy striker to play alongside Diouf
I don't think there'd be a place for Bojan, Shaq or Imbula as they just don't fit the system as they don't track back

The only way we could do a 4-4-2 with the current squad is:
Bardsley Shawcross Wollscheid Pieters
Arnie Whelan Allen Shaqiri
Diouf Crouch
Let's not.
