I am dll'ing the game right now to re-watch. will have more on Pep's tactics when I re-watch tomm.

GolTV had it as a 4-1-4-1 ... but you could view it as a 4-1-3-2 as well ... it's really going to depend how the attack on the pitch before we know which lineup it is. either way I love it. Pep hasn't sacrificed anyone's ability/strength and it'll allow Maxwell to bomb forward and rely on...

chat doesn't work for me for some reason :( oh well ... the FCB lineup for El Clasico is something out of either genius or madness from Pep ... k ... total edit ... here is the lineup and formation: ---------------------- VV -- El Capitan --- Pique -------- Milito --- Maxwell...

yup ... Pep did go w/ the 4-3-3 in the first leg. I was just pointing out a problem w/ Maxwell when he attacks in the 4-2-3-1. and I totally agree w/ Pep using the 4-2-3-1 in the Clasico. Esp with Iniesta and Ibrah not 100%, and Abidal out. I worry about Cristiano and Higuian exploiting...

that's true. the problem with that, as evidenced from the first leg of the Arsenal game is that Maxwell doesn't have the pace to get back when someone as fast as Walcott is paired up against him. Abidal on the other hand can do quite nicely. it gives you a much better appreciation for what our...

ugh ... talk about a crazy day. finally have some time to sit down and type up my thoughts on Pep's tactics v Arsenal. ok ... so he starts off the game with a classic 4-3-3 ... Alves -- Marquez -- Milito -- Abidal at the back ... Busquets in front of the back four and behind Xavi and Keita ...

lol ... if I were Sir Alex I'd take him off right now.

and it's 1-0 to United.

mixed performance from Rafa. didn't spring the offside trap that led to Arsenal's first. But it was telling that he and Yaya gave the ball away so much ... they simply have not played that much. all things considered he had a great game. if he plays vs Inter I would not be as worried as I was...

c'mon Rafa ... if you play tonight play properly!!

yup ... which brings us to Tuesday's game ... I know it all depends on who plays tomorrow and for how long ... but what about this: what about: -- Alves -- Rafa -- Milito -- Maxwell ------ Toure --------- Sergi -- Xavi ------ Messi ------ Pedro -------------- Ibrah Pep can then sub in Iniesta...

he's so dreamy and sexy and manly ... breaks a bone in his foot but still tries to score the winner ... gets hammered by Puyol (which probably even broke the bone even ... more ... or something) and scores from the penalty like Victor Valdes was a pylon. so awesome. clearly the best player in...

out. gone. I said he should have been sold at the end of last season and now he needs to go for sure.

ManUtd needed Tommy's gun ... for protection ... from ... ZE GERMANS!!

shiva h vishnu ... talk about the worst possible sequence of events for Rooney/ManUtd/England.

LOL @ Question #7.

Toure. All day. Every day.

three points in a very tough venue. we may not be playing our normal amazing style, but we're getting results and I'm fine w/ that.

I think that is what he was referring to, B ... there were times when Thierry and Ibrah were literally in each other's way. I think that just might be up to lack of playing time together. Thierry has already had to adjust his game to play w/ Samuel, now he has to adjust his game to play w/...
