Rmpr 8,977 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I don't think you'll get away with playing 3 at the back if we're going to be playing with 2 wingers. If they stay wide then that could cause a lot of problems. I think you'll need a back 4 rather than 3 just to provide defensive solidity on the flanks.Italian clubs usually play with 3 defenders, it has worked for the past 100 years.Juve doesnt really have wingers (as we imagine in EPL), they arent as free.I believe central midfield will be crucial to the game, whoever controls it wins. Vidal and Marchisio are box to box and Pirlo is a maestro. Our double pivot will have to work, but I sincerely think RDM will have the answer.

I think we have to play 4-3-3 against Juve, the pivot wouldn't survive. I cringe about the thought of 5 midfielders swarming Mikel after Lampard, Hazard, Mata et al have left him alone and exposed in midfield.

SempreJuve 62 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 we should be fine playing the 3-5-2. Asamoah runs all day on the left and either Lichsteiner or Isla on the right will do the same. Licht is more defensive so you might see him. If you play 2 CM I think you will be a bit exposed. It should be pretty interesting to see what the two coaches do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I can't wait to start the Champions League as defending champions.Can we do it again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SempreJuve 62 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I was wondering, how do you think you will line up against us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I was wondering, how do you think you will line up against us?Injury/suspension permitting, probably something like this:Ramires ahead of Oscar/Marin/Moses/Sturridge as he provides a great counter attacking threat, can run hard and is decent at marking and tackling.I imagine this is what we'll look like when attacking:And while defending: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SempreJuve 62 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Yeah I think you will need to play a more defensive winger like Ramires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Bitch please, this is how we roll in the Champions League. No it isn't! This is it:Alternatively, the Kalou clan consist of 9 sisters, and 2 brothers Bonaventure and Salomon. We could sent out a mixed 11 like this: :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 No more Ramires on the wing. I doubt he'd play there anyway (Thank God) now that we are a bit light in CM. I'd actually perfer Bertrand on the LW if RDM insists on using one defensive winger (which we shouldn't). Yeah I think you will need to play a more defensive winger like Ramires.Why? If anything, you will need one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, you will need one.if you play a 4-2-3-1 with Mikel and Lampard in the midfield they will get overrun by Asamoah, Vidal, Marchisio. Pirlo will be free to dictate the game. We play a 3-5-2 with wingbacks not wingers, we will play with Asamoah on the left and probably Lichsteiner.How would you play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SempreJuve 62 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hopefully with Ramires in midfield.So Ramires-Mikel as the holding mids? Who on the wings? I assume you would play a 4-2-3-1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you would play a 4-2-3-1?Well I hope we switch back to 4-3-3. If not Hazard does track back reasonably well. Keeping your defenders busy though I think is a good form of defence and will take the pressure off. I expect Bertrand/Ramires to start though (not that I want them too).

However I think if we play somewhere near our full capacity we'll win, with little problems. I guess Bertrand should start seeing as how you play 3-5-2. He is better on the wing than Ramires.
