We're a much better and more stacked team now though. And remember we started with Matri-Quagliarella in Munich. And counter-pressing or not, this Dortmund is nowhere near as good as that $#@!ing machine of a 2012/13 Bayern side. They were one of the most complete teams I've ever seen.
I'm not convinced. I'd put Caceres instead of Licht I think and Pirlo is a huge question mark to me. On the other hand Pereyra has been poor too so there's no easy solution in midfield for Allegri.
I remember somebody (X?) saying that in ARG Perreyra played as winger so he is not a "born" CM either.
And as 3/4 he has done a much better job than Vidal.
Padoin over Evra any day of the week against BVB. Simone might be slow but Evra will need a 10m headstart to win a ball 5m in front of him.

i forgot about Caceres, Licht has had a drop in form lately so i would play him. is he back 100% from the injury yet? Pirlo/Pereyra is a difficult one but Pirlo has that big game experience and i think that decided whos gonna start...

yes but at Udinese he almost exclusively played at CM and i think he does the best job when played there... Vidal as an AM can do a better job pressing their CBs and CDMs that Pereyra and is a bigger threat for their goal with his outside shots. both Marchisio and Pogba are playing well in their roles lately so it would not be so good to disrupt that. Evra, besides being a better player than Pado, has a much better chemistry with Pogba which is very important for our attacking play on that side. the only thing i would change now that i think about it is Caceres over Licht since he seems to be in the better form than Licht lately...
It's not even funny how easy it is to press us when all our players are in the centre of the pitch. Hopefully we play some strong catenaccio and have a 100% chance conversion rate like against Celtic.
