Why not? Mata is likley to fit better and quicker than Sanchez. He is a pass and move player, and a better passer of the ball. Those types of players tend to gel quicker.K7S LFC said:Tbh, I don't think he can fit into the system.. especially if the great Sanchez signs.

K75, I think you have the philosophy and likely starts all wrong. If we get Mata and Tevez is still around, Tevez will start as the Striker, not Dzeko/Balo. More likely than not considering Mancini's love for Balo, I wouldn't be suprised to see him starting on the right (where you have Silva) and SIlva where you have Tevez. And you are correct, Mata would probably Start left, but I can see him and SIlva interchanging roles seamlessly. They used to do that back at Valencia.K7S LFC said:Dax777 said:Why not?

For one, Mata needs to play behind the striker.
So if we have:
---------De Jong-----------Yaya------------
Silva---------------Tevez--------------Mata
---------------Mario/Dzeko-------------------
Both Silva and Mata will naturall come in, and our play with be very direct and central. No width at all unless kolarov and richards come through. This will not work because:
a.) how passing is not as good as Barca's
b.) we play on defence and pushing both Fullback's forward will not do us favours.
