So he is playing CB again? Didn't watch any games lately, but that is at least something interesting,..

Sport predict that Simeone will go with this lineup

------Lewy---Ferran------
-----Gavi-------Gundy----
--------Romeu-FdJ------
Balde-Eric-Christ-Kounde
------------Stegen----------

Sport has no clue though. You can count on one hand how often they got it right in the last few years.

Also 'Simeone' created the most chances and xG in the first two games of all teams.

Bizarro land.

Simeone plays how Xavi is expected to play. Xavi plays how Simeone is expected to play.

Fullbacks are poor, but Villarreal should lack the pace to hurt us wide.

Pretty much the same setup as us.

Gavi as a false 9 again. He isn’t an attacking threat. I don’t see the purpose of playing like this against teams with a fraction of our budget.

Again 4 midfielders and 2 attackers. Only because it worked once well against the blancos, it doesn't mean you have to play it each game....
Torres deserved to start today after a strong pre season and the last goal.

Yeah, I feel with this squad of players, especially with Dembele gone, we should go back to 2 actual wingers with 3 midfielders.

Think this will suit the majority of the players in this squad.
