Really? I think Pep disagrees. Hence why we played that formation against Liverpool, a side with a similar attacking style to Napoli. It's designed to give more defensive cover and to control the ball.
We had Two fully fit strikers, 3 centre backs and most importantly, a natural left back available, plus Sane who doesn't fit into that formation wasn't fully upto speed and didn't deserve to start. We no longer have the players that favour that formation, with what we have available and the form of certain players our best formation is currently the formation we played against Stoke. Unless we sign a left back in January i don't anticipate we'll play many games if any with that formation again this season. I think Pep will change things slightly but it will be more to do with tweaking positioning than an outright formation change.

I don't think either side is as great as the current hyperbole is making them out to be.
All the same, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle, and we are on a higher level, just in terms of how many match winners we do have and how poorly I consider Serie A to be in comparison to its heyday.
I also put a lot of stock in the amount of actual 'big' matches we have played in this competition in recent seasons, so wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if we roll them over if we get our noses in front first.

if we play 3-5-2 danilo and Aguero are playing, 4-3-3 same as against stok,
we can play both formation and win strong. we won 5-0, 6-0, 2-0, n 4-0, playing 3-5-2, We played 4-3-3 aginst CHE and STK. Pep loves to play Kun n jesus together, i am yet to him play 4-3-3 with AnJ together.
Napoli is stong team, and they are fairly good and find space, but there acuracy is not soo good and ther def is at times to open, but they are quick, and they have 3 goal sccorer.. the good thing for us is, that for they want to win the League, CL is «less» important,
I expect a good game with 3 or 5+ goals. If we can get control of the ball with the first 2min and keep it, amd olay like we did against stk, we will win and it could be as much as 4 or 5-0, but I think most likely we will win 3-1 just because they have scored in every game so far.,

Still got arseholes in our support I see,Vinnies finished mate. I don't even bother looking for updates on him anymore
Maybe they will be taking it 'easy':
Or is it a tactic to try and make us complacent?
Even if so, we have the perfect manager to combat complacency. If they really do want to roll over for us then let's continue the offensive outburst and hit them for 4 or 5.
