Leif 6,006 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Even Arsenal have 5 at the back now. It's actually embarrassing how so many English teams have jumped on this since we started doing so for ourselves. Lack of confidence in their own systems? Trying to emulate what works for others, instead of figuring out what works for their players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourinho actually criticized this formation, called it "fashionable" or whatever.. and a few games later, what do I see? Mou playing 5 at the back for the first time in his life, emulating our formation. Wanker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 More needs to be said of the fact Valencia are still unbeaten this season. Their manager said near the start of the season that for his philosophy, it was so important to have young players (on loan) who felt frustrated or hopeless at their parent club - it creates a combo of young-dreamers who believe they can beat anyone (much easier to believe you can beat Barcelona when you're 21 than 31), it creates a group that don't consider themselves too wise to question the manager's methods, and it creates a group with something to prove to their parent clubs. I don't think this recruitment policy would work as well the 2nd or 3rd time round, but it's working this time, because the manager understands mentality rules all. I wonder where Guedes will end up next summer. I don't think PSG will use him, I don't think Valencia can afford him, and so I imagine it'll be Atletico for him. They love to sign wingers who could be hit-or-miss before addressing their actually important areas (full backs), so it seems written in the stars. But following this season, will PSG let him leave cheap? I'd most like to see him at Roma, but they've just spunked so much funds on forwards lately (to no avail, which is hard to stomach.)

Leif 6,006 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Valencia remain unbeaten having faced Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid. This is almost a miracle when you consider half of their players haven't been great for longer than 1 season before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
