Not bad at all but I wouldn’t mind us getting a proven 9 like Stuani on loan aswell. Could be useful.

This is incredible.
That's some high level politician speech stuff.

I think the 1st thing he needs to do is implement his ideas to our bread and butter, 4-3-3. That could take a month, but hopefully less.
After that, he can begin experimenting with different setups. I would quite like to see his 4-1-4-1 (the one he played against us with Las Palmas) in the CL KO's away, for example.

---------------MATS-----------------
Semedo-Pique-Umtiti/Lenglet-Alba
--------------Busquets--------------
---------Arthur-------Frenkie-------
Griezmann-----------------Dembele
----------------Messi----------------
With Griezmann and Leo switching positions when needed. This lineup would also allow Leo to do what he does during the defensive phase, walking.
I'm not in favour of 3-5-2, because all of our CB's are turtles and we would get shredded by the wingers of the other team.

We could get a target man as a plan B. That's always useful. But our fullbacks are pathetic at crossing, so, is there even a point?

Roberto can cross very well.
Griezmann will do much better through the middle then he did off the left.
You’d think the midfield in tomorrow’s match will not be the one he uses long term. Long term I expect that De Jong and Arthur will be in there with one other. Sounds like Puig may play tomorrow. It’s too bad Aleña went out on loan as he’d probably feature quite a bit.
Who he picks for fullbacks will be very interesting.
No, no, no. A “plan B” doesn’t necessarily have to be crossing to a target man. That’s the complete opposite of anything that Setien would do if you listen to him talk.
I am glad Alena is gone, Puig looks like a much better talent. Other than that I still kind of hope he plays Griezmann on the right and Messi in the center. It would probably sacrifice Messis game a bit, but maybe we can finally play with more cohesion again.
We’ll play with more cohesion once he gets his preferred midfield in there. With Suarez out, and no striker likely to come in, I think we’ll see a front 3 of Dembele, Griezmann, Messi. Ansu or Perez to play until Dembele is fit unless he goes with a different formation.

Maybe they're out of shape? Maybe they were tired because they've not trained at a normal level intensity as most elite teams do for a long time?
Pique since Lucho and Vidal since Pep.

Funny thing is MD did write an article back in the summer that the board was unhappy with Valverde's staff for the injuries during last season.
They think it was due to poor preparation.
