Can we play like Barcelona ?

[Tevez City]

Everyone knows how Barcelona play, they only have one formation and they have been using it for so long.

Its the 4-3-3 with 4 defenders, 1 holding midfielder, 2 playmakers & 3 forwards.

____________________ Valdes__________________

Alvez______Puyol___________Pique________Abidal

_________________Busquets_____________

_____Xavi______________________Iniesta______

____Pedro_________Messi_________Villa_______

I hope Mancini will try to play like them, they think that this is THE ONE formation that let them win all their trophies in the past few years and I think we have the ingredients to use it as well with:

____________________ Hart__________________

Richards____Kompany_____Lescott________Clichy

_________________Yaya Toure_____________

_____Nasri______________________Silva______

____Aguero______Dzeko________Tevez______

We can come close but at the end of the day their players have it drilled in their heads that they must keep the ball at all time while our lot try to score straight away every time they get it.

Their system is miles better than anything out there and their players are all the best technically in the world.

you dont know what you are talking about.

 

[Joga Bonito]

We can play like Manchester City and be successful in our own way.

You can't just simply copy & paste Barcelona's tactics + philosophy and find success, just have faith that Mancini will mold our team into champions that will go down in history.

YES we cannot keep the ball .

I think 10 against 10 we can match them. But they have Leo Messi and we don't. Right now, that's the difference between them and Madrid, Man U, City, Chelsea, Milan and Inter.

We can give anybody and that includes the mighty Barca a decent game of tiddlywinks any day.

Adrian Durham on TALKSHITE says we are playing like Barcelona. Maybe so, but I reckon they do it quicker at the moment!

Lets play like Man City.
