You could see Mourinho's eyes light up

When he saw Mancini going to the 3-5-2 in the second half.

We'd weathered the storm and actually taken control of the game. We were ahead, Silva and Yaya had been causing them problems, they were being restricted to long shots. I was sitting at home, thinking of division 2, scarcely able to believe we were looking like winning at the Bernabau. As soon as I saw that change, I thought the same as Mourinho: we've opened up the flanks for them.

He made his changes, and lo and behold, their wide men found the space and got the goals.

I really really hope this is the last we see of this bloody 3-5-2. We have not got the players for it at the back. Clichy's not at his best tucked in. Lescott and Kompany look uneasy in it. Milner, Zabaleta, Maicon, Kolorov are not wing backs. They are not mobile enough.

It was a tactical change which cost us the game last night. On the plus side, I'm really hoping we don't see it again.

On another plus side, I was delighted the manager finally put Ya Ya in the role he is effective in from the start. I hope I never hear another poster on here say "he's only effective in that role late in games" because it's bollocks as he proved again last night.

So whilst I'm gutted we lost the game, I see two major positives to come from this. The death of the 3-5-2 and the death of Yaya as a holding player.

I am still unsure whether it is a attacking formation or a defensive one.

it's neither . It's a formation which allows you to retain width whilst flooding the centre of the park. It's disadvantage is that it leaves you exposed to breaks from the flanks.

Which is what happened, and is the reason for my frustration. Mourinho saw what we'd done, countered it and won the game. A few are adopting the narrative 'it was down to individual errors' but that misses the point. The individual errors occurred because of the pressure we came under due to the space we left.

mourinho didnt see what we had done,he panicked chucked on the most attacking players he could and hoped for the best.

the 3 5 2 formation will be used again,it is a very effective formation,if garcia had come across then ronaldo wouldnt of been able to get his shot away.
do you not remember the first half with a 4 at the back ?
 
There are two many variables at play. Zab was turned inside out by Fake Ron, VK should have headed the ball, Joe Hart might have been able to get down for it had VK not given the idea he might have headed it. Game finishes at 2-2 and we are all delighted with the start!

We will have the players to play the system depending on other variables being taken care of.
 
are people on here so retarded that they actually believe we lost the game because of the 3-5-2?

Real had just as many chances before the formation switch.

We lost the game because of an deflection and a mistake by Hart. Not Mancini's tactics

I know many of you want to blame someone. But dont make a fool out of youselfs, it's embarrasing<br /><br />-- Thu Sep 20, 2012 5:33 pm --<br /><br />

If you call out fellow Blues as "retarded" in your first sentence don't be surprised if no-one bothers with the rest of your post no matter how clever and insightful you think you are.
