Viper22 2,418 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 As a side note, why have I seen so many people proposing Azpi playing DM/CM? Has he ever played there before? I don't think he has.Is it because of Lahm? Lahm was a 1 off, and that's only because he's a top top quality player, he's nowehere near as good at DM as he is at RB.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I hope Ramires has a big game today, yes he's been awful recently but if he has a good game a Luiz - Ramires pivot will be fine. I can't believe people are trying to fit Azpi or Oscar in there ahead of him. mccg, haranr and ILoveLamp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe, he and cole can take turns making those overlapping runs to make space for Hazard without risking a counter attack Viper22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe, he and cole can take turns making those overlapping runs to make space for Hazard without risking a counter attackNow THAT would work. So 3 at the back, those two wing backs, Luiz holding, Oscar just in front, then Hazard and Willian off Eto'o. I like it.But I do think that some people were suggesting playing Dave in the midfield duo/trio, which just confuses me. ZOS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe people are trying to fit Azpi or Oscar in there ahead of him.Like you said he's been awful recently, and while I have faith, I just don't think that'll change. I personally would've tried Oscar as a DLP weeks ago to see if it worked. I mean, he is a playmaker, he's a great passer of the ball and he proved early on in the season that he's a decent enough tackler. I think it's worth a try, because otherwise he won't be starting as Hazard/Willian/Schurrle are all much better atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant a 433 with A.Cole in his normal position with Azpi in front of him ... flooding the touchline corridor with Cole - Azpi and Ivan - Ramires with DL holding .. granted, its very improbable jose will do that, but I think it work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm. Don't know about that. But I guess it means we could have 2 players on each side marking their tricky wide players. I'd be willing to see how it does . I got all excited about that 3 at the back suggestion there xD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it.But I do think that some people were suggesting playing Dave in the midfield duo/trio, which just confuses me.Actually I think he is suggesting Azpi and Cole BOTH on the left, not as RWB and LWB. Let's face it, neither of these re going to happen. (e/ late to the party, sorry!)I vote 4231. We need to win and playing a 5311 is not the way to do it. We are at home and need to take the initiative. Luiz-Ramires will be fine. Gabi is out for them. Viper22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAB 1,030 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 This is the toughest match of the season. We have said that before for Man City, PSG... but we have to beat the unbeaten Atletico Madrid. Also it's the first time i really don't have a clue about what Mourinho thinks tactically. How sould we start? Is it safe to start by attacking with all guns and give them opportunities to counter? Or maybe be more patient? But then again we have to score first, otherwise i don't wanna think about what will happen.But i think the plan for Atletico is more clear. They may start defending deep. Try to frustrate us in the first half and maybe they get opportunities on the counter and suddenly come at us with everything they got at about 75'. We probably will have to prove today that we can bypass the same tactic we used against them @ Madrid. Remember West Ham? That's why it will be the ultimate hard task for us. Do i have faith? Yes, of course. If we make it, it will be the most satisfying win of the season for me. Forget Liverpool. This is real men's football tonight @ the Bridge.
