I desire this before. Go back to the Barry and NDj midfield and put Yaya infront with the front three all rotating. So a 4231formation. It kills the oppositions midfield and on occasions we have 4 forwards. Yaya used to come forward and get his head on crosses. Now doesn't get that far due to holding roll.
Let's go out with a bang if it's not to be our year.
Arrh! You almost got it right :)
4231- City's best starting formation. But the best players to prosecute it are as follows
Hart
Micah.Komps.Lescott.Clichy
Pizzarro..Barry
Silva..Yaya..Nasri
Aguero
Then sub for form as the game goes on. If Mancini plays this team. With a striker (Balotelli coming in for Pizzaro and another striker for Silva if we are tied or down around the 70th) We will win out the season, and run United close for the title.
If we go on all these Nigel, Milner, Dzeko, Johnson, Balotelli starting permutations, we will fall further behind United.
I knew there was a footballing brain in there somewhere;)
This is the only team and formation we should have played as soon as Pizarro attained a modicum of fitness.
It's all about trust at the highest level and pressurised situations.
Having the stated line-up reduces the percentages in gifting away possession of the football.
Balotelli and Dzeko don't afford us this. We started to see the germ of its effectiveness in the opening 35 minutes against Bolton.
Pizarro gets us upfield and Yaya gets to do what he does best.
As for Yaya, give over, some people, he has very high standards and his frustrations with others is justified.
