city formation from spanish press

[HellasLEAF]

why would Silva get hammered in that position. he is the exact same build as Fabregas, or Modric. same style player as well. it also allows Bellamy starting in his natural position.

That may be true, but he needs to get used to the Prem first and the physicality of it. Also Bellamys natural posistion is up front not left wing although you wouldnt of thought it, and silvas natural posistion is left wing and i think he might struggle in the middle anyway

Then again i could be wrong but i doubt we will ver see Silva in the middle to find out

I too doubt Mancini ever uses him there. possibly behind the strikers in a CAM role, but not central. Just trying to find a way to put Bellers in and Barry out.

Basically i think this will happen. Apologies for it looking messy. Kolarov would overlap mor than Boateng. De Jong would protect the back 4. Silva and Johnson would both cut in and support Toure, aswell as getting beyond him to support the forwards. Adebayor will drift wide (like he does) to create space for Johnson to come inside. Tevez will play as a more conventional forward.

I think if we got Milner, he would do a better job than Barry in this formation. Johnson for SWP as well.

After Mr Manc's comments last season about central midfielders I think he'll be starting most games with this 4-5-1/4-3-3 formation

When did David Silva become black?

hahaha! i noticed that

 

[davymcfc]

not a bad formation.

tbh i would rather have Silva where barry is and bellers where silva is tho.

100% agree.
