pep will play only one holding midfielder :P
and probably play around with a back three ^^



I don't think he will, it won't work in a strong league like the BPL.

Yes he's done that in the past, but he will quickly discover it won't work in the prem, plus having 2 holding midfielders is almost a must in today's footballing world, With all due respect and not to start an argument, BPL is miles ahead of the Bundesliga in terms of competitiveness.

3 at the back doesn't work well in the BPL, it's a formation more suited for the Serie a imo.

much appreciated, but i still believe that competitiveness does not automatically involve high quality
that being said, i dont see a team that can deal with like 75% possession and immediate pressing when the ball is lost

as much as i dont like pep, but he will have a great time exposing english weaknesses when it comes to tactics

really? should be ideal against 2 striker formations

its one of peps signature moves, one defensive mid drops between the center backs, only one holder remains and the full backs push so high up that you cant see them anymore :lol:

will you guys win this or let me down once again?
I heard that DeBruyne was thought to be back for this game? Is he being rested for the CL clash or is he not fit yet?
