It's very similar to how we operated under Pep actually.

Previously, when Messi dropped back, the wide forwards (Henry & Etoo, Villa & Pedro) would move central in front of him to occupy the centerbacks. This is what has been lacking in the last two seasons where the wingers would stick to the wings and stay wide. And especially baffling was Tata's decision to make 5' 7" Messi the center forward.

Something like a 4-3-1-2 with the front two spreading wide in the defensive transition phase, its why he had Dani bomb forward to provide the service out wide to the two center forwards in the box with Messi in a free role.

It's not bad in FIFA lol
