Just love going to the game and getting team selection completely wrong.

Have we ever put out an eleven with more football attacking prowess???
 
interesting set up.......changes needed to be made after the spurs and Celtic games....either this is very clever or a very big mistake! Think we look stronger side with Zab/Kolarov on the bench...

haha just because I don't think it will work in the premier league mate? especially with the pace everton have on the flanks? dinho if he goes to right wing back and clichy to left wing back then fine but surely only a company, stones and otamendi 3 at the back should be considered?
 
To be fair, his willingness to try new things is one of the qualities that makes Pep the best in the world.

For what it's worth I think it will be a 3-3-2-1-1 like the graphic shows just because I doubt they'd make a whole new graphic for that formation if they didn't think we were using it.

Chelsea have started winning now they've gone three at the back.

But yeah, Clichy shouldn't be in a back three. I think Dinho will play right back.
 
The line-up is a bit mad but I love that he's still experimenting. Clichy seems like the weak link to me there.
 
graphics and formations are pretty redundant as a photo or set of numbers on a screen (e.g.. 4-4-2) as the formation changes dependant upon where the ball is on the pitch and who has possession. For instance when we don't have the ball I'm sure both Sane and Dihno will have defensive responsibilities for the right hand side....where as when we have the ball it could be vastly different with sane anywhere from the right hand side to centre forward and din somewhere in the midfield and even as an overlapping fullback or one that s cutting inside.......

Thats a strong 11 with players capable of playing multiple roles and thats going to be intriguing to watch.....a bit of strength on the bench to !!!!
