I just don't see manuel with a Plan B. There is no other way to justify a double pivot when you need to score 5 goals. Real madrid are also suffering from overpopulation in the forward line. There are 3 spots for Higuain, Benzema, kaka, Cr9, Ruud and Raul. Why's this a problem? because instead of fielding players in their own position, you have 3 out-of-position players on the pitch.
This reminds me of the Galacticos 1.0 and beckham playing as a DM.
yes and no.
yes he had a plan B in the 4-2-3-1 he used vs Getafe,Milan and Atletico but he seems like a stubborn man who just want to prove he is right so he switched back to 4-2-2-2 vs Alco.
and no it's nothing like the first galactico , he is benching whoever he likes left & right maybe if Del Bosque and others had this freedom results would have been far more superior
no one is demanding his head for benching anyone but we are demanding his head for playing players who should not play in that position, if he benched Raul and played VDV or Granero no one would open his mouth
if he left Lass (one of the best players on the pitch ) and took out Gago no one would complain.
he is trying to justify his decisions and tactics and getting it all wrong again .
Frankly i don't even think Valdano can protect him/defend him anymore
stick to
Higuain------Kaka----------Marcelo
--------------Benzema
subs should be
Granero--------VDV---------Drenthe
---------------Ruud OR Raul
it's not a rocket science , the amount of freedom he has is unprecedented under Perez
