I am enclined to agree, but that's only because my conventional brain has been conditioned to accept round pegs in round holes?

Conte deserves a lot of credit somehow taking Victor Moses and turning him in to a wing back.

Our pressing from the front would be insane, and effectively add to the midfield?

When I look at the line-up I posted, you could argue....there are a lot more fits than I first assumed, in terms of Pep making the formation work?


OTAMENDI - FECK KNOWS
STONES - PIQUE
BONUCCI - PUYOL
STERLING - DANI ALVES
SANE - JORDI ALBA
SILVA - INIESTA
DE BRUYNE - BUSQUETS (I KNOW, A STRETCH)
SANCHEZ - MESSI
MBAPPE - SUAREZ
JESUS - NEYMAR

I think the Busquets kind of player is missing in that formation, as you said, lining up KDB to fill that role is a stretch. I am just not convinced that Silva, KDB Sane and Sterling will be good enough to win the ball back in midfield or put the tackles in... Silva is probably the most likely as he got a bit of a mean streak about him but I still feel we are missing a proper enforcer in midfield (been saying that since we let De Jong go though to be honest).
 
You can't have 7 attacked-minded players in the line-up at once, it is suicide, even Barcelona have Busquets.

In regards to the 3 atb formation posted (which is like a 3-4-1-2), Tottenham play this exact formation with fullbacks, and TWO DM's Wanyama and Dembele, we cannot get away with putting Silva and Kevin there for it to work, even if Sane and Sterling are wingbacks.

Also, Domalino is correct in saying that Sane and Sterling didn't play as traditional wingbacks, Pep played a 3-2-4-1 formation, which used two DMs to reduce Sane and Sterling's defensive contribution. If we use Silva and Kevin then this team has 0 balance.

Could be picky about the lack of anyone making tackles any further forward than the back three, but that's missing the main point...

How the hell is Ottamendi still in that team? You may as well stick Clichy at wingback
 
Ederson
Stones
Bonnuci
Laporte
Fabinho
Silva
De Bruyne
Sane
Mbappe
Jesus
Sanchez

Would love that team!!

Not really, if he still has a contract

Arsenal could turn us down at £50m for example, and accept £40m from another club outside the premier league

Sanchez would have no say in that, other than refusing to move, he then plays a game of wills against Arsenal

That IS the trump card.
