Lamela over Lucas suggests this isn't a diamond though, at least.
Bizarre that Jan still isn't starting.
Agree I just think Son has more.I think Lucas has had a few moments to deserve that being called ‘Lucas-esque moments’.
He has to do something questionable so he can correct it at HT when we’re 2-0 downI feel like Poch secretly gets a kick out of doing something strange in a big game. Dropping the one pacey player we have available in attack whose also a goal threat?
HugoJust can't see us getting in behind them with that line-up. Who is going to be making the runs?
Hope Aguero's not quite at it today. If you compare every player in peak form/condition, he's the best striker in the Premier League, even better than Kane.
People fuss too much about formations. It's obvious from the several posts that looked at the 11 and wrote "thank fuck it's not a diamond" and the several other people who looked at the same 11 and wrote "bugger, it's the diamond".
It wasn't a strictly a diamond last week - we lined up 4-3-3 at kick off - and the formation changed dynamically throughout the game, as it always does, depending on the transition and the zone of play. I find it more useful to think in attacking and defensive blocks than formations: who joins the attacking block when we win the ball and who drops back into the defensive block when we lose it?
