City and Pool not Atalanta. Not sure what to expect other than another rout....

I know people's opinion vary on Pep and call him a fraud but it's going to be a sad day when he leaves the PL in May 2023. Even Liverpool at their absolute best don't treat the ops like the Kitten does to the ball of string like Citeh do. Chelsea Liverpool (first half) and United (so far) have had no answer.

I don't watch City much but when I do, it's always a technical treat. The fluidity of movement, on/off the ball, in attack or defense has me

I do not think a 541 is bad against City but United deffo have an issue with cohesiveness in their lines. Once the front 3 is passed, the two DM are all alone against a sea of midfielders. There is not much they can do then.

I think a simple 4231 could work well if he put Cavani on a wing and another winger that can track back. Just tell you wingers to play narrow to force City on the outside. Keep the double pivot and Bruno-Ronaldo but they need wingers who are better at defending when out of possession

Can you imagine a team with Cancelo at LB and Kimmich at RB

Im sure Pep tried to go for Kimmich He loved dude when he was at Bayern.

Bailly again dropped for another unfit CB.

Rip back 5. Wonder what's next

Switches back to 4-2-3-1.

Back 3 only worked against Spuds because they didn't press enough.

Didn't work against Atalanta since they are more adjusted to a back 3 and they scored early on.

Man City don't play with strikers, Ole didn't learn from the 1st leg of the League Cup when we were 3-0 down in January 2020.

Who is Schweini sending for ?

 

[Ukbrotha]

Cancelo is one of those cheat code playmaking fullback.

United aren't compact enough doesn't matter what formation they play. Until they drill down the spaces between the players when defending they have far too many gaps all over between midfield and forwards and between midfielders themselves.
