I'm not a tactician or a scout, so I'll keep my nose out of the discussion about where to play who.

However, I'd like to point out one observation that I think may be important here. Although the sample size this season is small, when you account for last season's ups and downs as well, there has been one constant that determined how effective Ronaldinho and the left wing was in attack. That constant is whether or not Pato is playing on the right side.

Good point as well. Pato was an outlet, either when Dinho cut inside and Pato made that diagonal run ahead of him or when we're countering and Dinho realeses that long ball to Pato. The fact that we have Ibra now instead of Bori also changes things. Bori would usually sit in his position and Dinho and Pato would play off of him, while Ibra is different, he's constantly moving and trying to get involved in the play himself, thus Dinho does not have a point of reference to play off of.

Imo this is why that International break in important, a lot of players need to regroup, problem is Ibra won't be there for training. So we're still stuck with the same problem we're in now, do we play in midweek once the international break is over or the following weekend? Imo a full weeks training with every player there would do us a world of good
