the premier league vs spain

[doggiesin08]

Obviously would require very different tactics to what are used by most premiership teams but I think it could work. Assuming no Spanish players can be picked:

--------------------------Hart-------------------------

------Ivanovic--------Kompany-------Vermaelen-------

Valencia-------Ramires---------Sandro-------------Bale

------------Yaya-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------Rooney---------------
-----------------------v.Persie---------------------------


I think Valencia is hard working enough defensively to do a job there and the Spanish national team often use players like Silva and Iniesta as wingers who like to come central so defensively would really just be looking out for Alba.

If the system wasn't working well then with a single sub it reverts back to the standard 4-4-2

Hart
Ivanovic Kompany Vermaelen Cole
Valencia Yaya Sandro Bale
v.Persie Rooney

 

[Salar]

-------------Casillas------------
Dani Aves--Pepe--Puyol--Marcelo---
---------Busquets--Alanso-----------
----------------Xavi--------------
---Messi------Ronaldo------Iniesta----.
See that and ask yourself can it be beaten?

Have any of you actually watched Gerrard or Lampard recently? They're both well past their sell by date.

Hart
Ivanovic Kompany Vidic Baines
Mata Fellaini Yaya Bale
RvP Aguero

Holy Oh My God to that midfield.

Was near Santander last year and watched 2 minor league teams playing in front of an attendace of about 100. Paid 10 Euros to get in and worth every penny! These team's was about the same level as my sons team (Bewdley Town) When it comes to flare and excitement we're decades behind! Gives me no pleasure to say that!

 

[cvetan]

----------------------Buffon-----------------------

Lahm-----Thiago Silva-----------Kompany-----Alaba

----------Schweinsteiger----------Vidal------------

Ribery------------------Snejder-------------Ronaldo

----------------------Falcao------------------------

this team would rape Spain!

Yaya instead of Vidal and that team would rape.
