Using an outdated 4.4.2 formation

[coach education]

How do you play against an outdated 4.4.2
When analyzing soccer games, from the youth level all the way up to high level college and MLS games, it is commonplace to observe a 4.4.2 formation where the midfield and forward lines play flat. At times, teams may use a large diamond in the midfield along with two flat forwards which can also cause various problems. As an emerging technician you will encounter this formation, how best would you shape up your team to exploit its weaknesses.
