NishC300 1,865 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Italy's Defense: Yes they did. False 9: Thats my point! it won them the Euros!Still a bit unclear on what u meant. As I was talking about how a False 9 fails against 3 man defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Where's Azpilicueta actually playing? Odd choice if he's on the right-wing He does look like he will play on the wing and it is a bit confusing. Why not just play Moses who always tracks back and is an excellent defender yet provides something in the attack. Anyway I trust RDM has seen something we missed.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 One big difference from when we played Bertrand at LW, Azpi has a great cross on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiclasCFC 2,582 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 3-4-2-1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petr.breu 1,618 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 This could be perfect move from Robbie, I hope it will works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Odd lineup. A little skeptical because it involves putting a few players in positions they aren't used to which can be dangerous but very interested to see how it works, Would like to have seen Sturridge start.

Rmpr 8,977 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Sounds like something Rio Ferdinand would say.Giggs as well.Or Dave :-) I thought it was SAF that raped everyone else, not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 RW, just like how Bertrand started the season on the LW.He does look like he will play on the wing and it is a bit confusing. Why not just play Moses who always tracks back and is an excellent defender yet provides something in the attack.Anyway I trust RDM has seen something we missed.Yeah I thought Moses would've been a better bet for there? But I guess it does have defensive merit... I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 One big difference from when we played Bertrand at LW, Azpi has a great cross on him.I honestly doubt Hazard can score another header, or Mata or Oscar for that matter.

Kieran. 6,317 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Yeah I thought Moses would've been a better bet for there? But I guess it does have defensive merit... I guess.For what it's worth, Azpi has experience as a winger. The only thing he offers over Moses is *more* defensively stability but Moses is very good defensively as well..

Dropping Torres & b. Using Hazard as false9 where he could have picked Moses. If it pays off, it's a testament to Di Matteo's intelligence, if not, well it shows he's willing to take calculated risks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
