Formation??

[IWasHere]

Hart

Zabba Kompany Nastastic Clichy

Rodwell Yaya

Navas Silva Fernandinho

Aguero / Tevez / Dzeko

I'd swap Tevez and dzeko, strong line up though and could change now that we want di maria and isco, plus Tevez might leave

 

[Jutt]

Hart

Zabba Kompany Nastastic Clichy

Rodwell Yaya

Navas Silva Fernandinho

Aguero / Tevez / Dzeko

Fernandinho would need to play deep beside YaYa

Hart
Zabba Kompany Nasty Clichy

Yaya Fernandinho

Navas Isco(hopefully) Silva

Kun

Navas, Silva & Isco in midfield?!?! ....Never gonna work!! Aweome going forward, I agree, but we'd be overrun when the opposition was in possession... even more so if, as is rumoured, pellegrini is planning on playing two out and out wingers in Di Maria & Navas

2 wingers would make this interesting..

Hart

Zab Vinny Nasty Clichy

Yaya Silva Fernandinho

Navas Aguero Di Maria

So we're going to play 4231 by the looks of it. IF we make no more signings team A would be Hart; Zaba, Nasty, Komps, Clichy; Jesus, Tevez, Silva; Aguero.
Team B - Pants; Richards, Lescott, Rodwell, Kolarov;Barry, Garcia; Milner, Nasri, Sinclair; Dzeko.
Not too shabby. Do we need anyone else? I'd say Isco in is the only way we could possibly strengthen that A team to replace Tevez or Aguero who could rotate.
SOOOOOOO can't wait for next season. Shackles off! Come on CITY

Team A's midfield would be invisible.

Invisible? It's not even there! Ooops! I missed yaya and fernandinho off team A midfirlders.

i really don't believe formations is the only winning power for us this season.our formation last season was perfect if u ask me,but the only thing i wasn't grateful about was our lack of defending and attacking without purpose,we don't press when we are defending and we don't press when we attack.

This is strictly not true. Navas is a very hard-working player and Di María is perhaps an even harder worker. Did you not take note of Di Maria's work ethic when he played at the Etihad?

I haven't gone through this thread, so I apologize if this has already been mentioned, but it's worth looking up Pelle's coaching presentation on youtube. It can be a bit confusing to an outsider [like me?], but he seems intelligent and deep thinking. One thing about his tactics though is that he doesn't really use wingers, preferring wing backs. He also seems to line up in a 4-2-2-2 formation and plays it narrow [no change there then] but he does keep the option to change the shape according to circumstances so, presumably, he will use wingers as a Plan B tactic. At least if he does play it narrow, he will already have a squad well used to this system.

He did use the 4-2-2-2 formation at Villareal, but not at Madrid or Malaga....he is open to which ever formation suits the players, he doesn't have a rigid set up

Agreed. No probs with that side (formation) at all.. Can see it handing out many a hiding next season
