For this last part of the season, this is how I'd line them up. The 3-5-2 has become too predictable. Behrami should stay back and guard the defensive line at all times. Maggio can't run as fast as he used to so he plays better as a s...

IMO Barry/Rodwell/Garcia are not creative enough and are too safe in their distribution, If I were inchardge of city I would swith Toure over to become the DM and find a new CM

when playing with a sweeper I find that the rest of the defence relies on the sweeper to clean things up a little too much when the stopper is given to much freedom to go up and attack or on the counter what is a good strategy to combat this flaw on ...

This is when we need to be a bit more robust up the middle of the pitch. If we need to go to a 343 or a 3-4-1-2, Zusi could probably play wing back. he offers a different element to Chandler in that role.

I think this would work pretty well for the U.S.. Cameron already plays right back at Stoke City. Here, he's in a mix of a right back/ center back role, switching the U.S. into a back three in attack. Beasley isn't a natural left back, but he...

...Edu can come out and play as a #6 midfielder, turning the side back into a back four. This will allow us to have a spare man at the back at all times, assuming it's applied correctly.

It seems like one of the better pairings for the central midfield was between Michael Bradley and Sacha Kljestan. Those two had chemistry, probably in part due to their time together on the Olympic squad. And the best part is...

See? Edu now can cover an attacking midfielder in that zone, if the need arises, or if the opponent is simply using a front three and we need the spare man at the back.

And there may be more. Edu can slide out and become a defensive midfielder when it's required, like against teams that play a front three/one striker. That could easily become our team's signature shape.

We've yet to actually see this lineup, but I think it could actually work fairly well. What I want is for Bradley and Jones to get past the opposition midfield and running at the defense. The key to that is to get somebody between lines who can l...
