how would you play against barcelona ?

[footyfan]

Completely agree on the second point. The long ball over the top to the opposite flank (for example from Alonso, Pepe) always bypasses our local 3-1 pressuring system and our most important defensive player Busquets. The 1v1 situations that these tactics create are perfect for the other team.

two lines of five in front of the goalkeeper.

That is what cost 2

Fact.

I would play

Cech

Ivanovic - T.Silva - Terry - A.Cole

Pepe

Ramires- Y.Toure - Pirlo

C.Ronaldo

Drogba

subs include Ramos, J.Martinez and Falcao

I would stick Pepe on Messi with T.Silva stepping out of defense to help Pepe at times, once Pepe gets booked then swap him for Ramos. Ramires and Toure on Xavi and Iniesta then Pirlo being the one playing the out ball to Drogba who can hold it up and play in Ramires, Toure and Ronlado on the break and Pirlo taking set pieces with Ivanovic, Terry, T.Silva, Toure, Drogba and Ronaldo all in box!

 

[Trequartista]

Buffon
Lahm Pepe Hummels Marcelo
Pirlo
Schweinsteiger-Vidal
Di Maria Falcao Ronaldo
