QUOTE (CrazyMilanFan @ Sep 13 2011, 09:44 AM)  i think with the available player the only change allegri could make would be to put seedorf in emaulson place and aquallani in LCM.... but last season seedorf player much better in middle rather than behind the stikers... lets see how it goes The only change I would make to the line-up is a straight swap between Urby and Aquilani. Seedorf is better on that left side while Aqui has played that position before and I'd trust Seedorf more in the defensive area QUOTE (Jack Sparrow @ Sep 13 2011, 10:26 AM) I can see this going badly. I can also see this being stupid enough to work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

QUOTE (han2503 @ Sep 12 2011, 01:55 PM) That's why I said Aquilani instead of him and it would be a great line-up Love your formation to approach Barca but don't kid yourself about stifling them in midfield.Abate--Nesta--Thiago--Zambro Nocerino--VB--Seedorf Boateng--Aquilani Pato Perfect line-up for this kind of game imo. Stifle them in midfield, while still providing the best support we can for Pato when on the ball. Also, we have 3 players who can distribute the ball properly so we won't lose it as soon as we win it back I like your formation because it's compact and will attack with purpose. Bar Pato everyone there can put in a good tackle and help out defensively |

I like your formation because it's compact and will attack with purpose. Bar Pato everyone there can put in a good tackle and help out defensively Having 5 mids on their 3 will help in doing that, the most important thing is to not to let Messi, Pedro or Iniesta/Xavi to get in behind our defence, because once they do that, it's a sure goal. That midfield would put pressure on their best players, the ones who will control the tempo and keep possesion. That's the key thin. If they score once or twice then we'll know we've tried our best. Not getting overrun is key, and if we want to have a shot at winning then we need to stifle them by pressing them throughout and force them to make mistakes. That is what Sociedad did last weekend. I came across an analysis vid on youtube of that game, and in the 2nd half Socieda really pressed them and cracks appeared, both goal came off one of the Barca players losing the ball, Xavi is not super human, you put pressure on him and he'll make a bad pass, just like any other player, and that is what happened on Saturday QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Sep 13 2011, 10:15 AM) It is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) But what I wanted to do is to paraphrase the song and point out the other possibility.

So am I right in saying it's one potential task? Stop Xavi, Cesc & Iniesta all at once (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I think he's starting all but 1 game since he's joined and scored in all but 1 too.

I actually really like the Xmas tree formation for this game. Clearly Allegri wants to heavily pressure Barcelona and Urby can help that with his speed. Also the speed in that front three can help capitalize on counter opportunities. I think Pato can beat anyone on their back line given some space.
