Against 2 strikers often teams played with a 3 man back line to have a spare man. The reason 3 man back lines have fallen out of favor is because against a lone striker it becomes 3 v 1 at the back. That is the biggest problem in switching is that you possibly lose an advantage somewhere else on the field.


But as was stated in the other thread, even though formation sheets list one striker, few teams actually play with 1 lone attacker.

Again, it becomes an issue of who to mark, when to press, etc, which becomes rather complicated. A lone striker moving across the field horizontally can cause massive problems, especially with movement from deeper in midfield. Hence why we would have to try it from now onwards.

The only reason we can even consider it is because Geoff Cameron has the ability to move into midfield to make up a disadvantage. That sort of versatility makes the prospect more viable, though still unlikely.
