Yes, change a working formation cause of player form 
correct. But since they are on the bench, that eliminates the problem

The nords ? You mean back when we didnt had an attack ?
Or the danes, when we didnt have llorente ? and the defence was beeing pathetic form ?
Yes, good reference points
This is a transition year considering the frontline. With llorente blended in, we'll play to our level next year, and allready in the EL this year

Yes, let's attack thru the middle, hope for some Pirlo magic, a couple of shots from outside the box, and maybe, just maybe Asamoah, Licht, Padoin, or Peluso could put in a cross every once in a while.
Post-match cockfighting aside, Galatasaray are a very ordinary team who we should have comfortably taken 4 points off, but the CL throws up group stage shocks like this. It's football, how often do people need to watch the game to understand this sometimes happens, and will again in future?
'Really big clubs dispose of these teams', no they don't, not always. Plenty of big teams failed at the group stage of the CL when expected to go through. But they come back and go again. It's a big concern for us because of the financial side of the game these days.
In terms of us as a club I think we are sometimes a bit arrogant in Europe. It's not deliberate, but over our history we have always done so well domestically, for large parts without really having to be at 100%, that we take that into the cut throat world of knock-out European football. Just a couple of wins would have done the group, but we kind of shrug and go 'next time', without really going for it. Even going into this final game, we have this kind of self-assuredness that everything is going to be ok.
Contrast that with Milan and the other inferior Serie A teams and they really seem to save it up for the competition, each game at a time, even more so during in the inevitable domestic flop periods.
We'll go again next year, with more ideas, but winning a couple of games earlier on is much easier for us, because of our mentality.
