It is an outdated formation which is not played by any leading teams in Europe. I am baffled by his tactics. For me we would have won at Cardiff and Villa if he had strengthened our midfield when we were leading in both games. The players looked confused against Bayern. Playing with two up front only works against much weaker teams.
they tried 4-4-1-1 v Porto and took Villa off at half-time I believe to make it more a 4-5-1 and dominated the 2nd half after hardly having a kick in the first.
citymad said:Yes. Teams like Chelsea, Spurs and especially Arsenal will come to the etihad without fear. It was a 90 min lesson on how to win and dominate Manchester City at home.

Sure we don't have a great record (mainly away) to Everton, but they've never stuffed us. They have parked the bus,
got away with it, and then scored from mainly set pieces. Baines has NEVER ripped us apart, so I can't see it happening
now. Sure we need to keep an eye on Lukaku but we've sorted him at WBA.
I think we are a better side this season, and home form (Hull apart) has been good. Early days but signs of great
attacking play.
I think the pessimism is down to Bayern result, but the Premier is totally different. Think comprehensive
win and great game to watch.
