Was brave using Maicon (after what Bale has done to him before), the Spuds got all giddy about it but Dougie seemed a lot faster yesterday and boy does he have some quality going forward.<br /><br />-- Mon Nov 12, 2012 8:05 am --<br /><br />Didsbury Dave said:What he did was go to his three at the back, with Maicon and kolorov as the wing backs. It gave us some width, stretched spurs, opened up some space in the middle. 3 at the back is a gamble, especially with players like bale and Lennon who can punish you on the break. On this occasion it worked very well and the manager deserves credit for that.
Played it what? 5 or 6 times?Didsbury Dave said:I still maintain we haven't the right personnel for 352 but, at last, it worked today. At last.
Utd in the Cup - worked
Chelsea in the CS - worked
Liverpool away - not great
Ajax away - played it for 5 minutes
Spurs - worked a dream
I am more than likely missing a few there as my memory doesn't serve me too well but it has worked more often that not I think.
