The question begs to be asked, why was a formation like this never played by EV or Setien before? Why keep forcing him to play out of position?

Setien would have figured out an effective place for him in the formation if not for Covid-19 and Suarez recovery in the process

What formation did we play? I didn't see the game

Not quite sure the overall formation, but seems like Messi played more like a CAM with Suarez and griezmann as two forwards in front of him. Griezmann tracking back a lot though to make up for messis lack of

setien can't figure shit as he is an idiot.

tonight the game was wide open and it suited us and our players doing their own thing. that is why combinations were more fluid and griezmann did something for a change. problem is we don't really play like this because the other teams really defend and don't fuck around as villareal did.

Griezmann produced as he is a world class player being used in a system that suits him.

While it also suited Messi and Suarez more as well.

hahaha...oh how you waited to pull out the "but he is world class" rhetoric. fair enough, lad had a good game.

coming back to the "system" discussion - what system we played tonight?

He has always been world class but being played in formation that doesnt suit him even if he could and should have been better at times.

You seem very angry he had a good game though so will leave it there.

If you dont understand the system played... maybe go back and watch it again.

not really angry. it just seemed to me that players started as usual but were more mobile as game was open. so the same griezmann on left, suarez center and messi right but always drifting center.

griezmann was coming from the left when he scored.
