Experiment with playing three at the back as our two full-backs Ujfalusi and Filipe will both miss this game on Saturday . Also trying to fit Elías and Juanfran into the starting XI.

Chelsea played right into Liverpool's hands, a extremely narrow formation and two similar centre forwards made it easy for Liverpool to mark them. Anelka played just behind the front two but Lucas had an outstanding game and he rarely saw the bal...

Prandelli trying out a number of interesting options:- Chiellini at left back, a little defensive for my liking particularly with the need for a man to bomb forward and provide width- Bonucci and Ranocchia hoping to relive their miracle...

The 2 CF's and CD's go to head the ball because they have good header! Marko should kick direct FK, in their wall would be an CF or 2 ( here their formation counts)or an CF+WF/ACM/SM so on an counter there won't be dangerous b...

If the ball is at one of their SD's Marko should go to the DCM which is closer to Ilic or Pekovic to force them to avoid low passes to their DCM's. Billy should be Riquelme's shadow.

Karanovic could run wide, so I suggest this positioning for Hunt and Radovan, our CD's can often change positions they just need to comunicate.

Okay guys this looks crazy, but it's a real formation that actually works. I've looked at statistics from teams that have used it and by putting 4 offensive players in the diamond up top, the ball didn't leave that half of the field for m...

Di Maria often plays on the right but because of Alves' obvious attacking ability and sheer will to go forward, Di Maria would be better suited than Ronaldo to stop the runs of Alves. Madrid would play a narrow back four, stopping any inside runs...
