who cares what barcelona did 6 years ago?? even they dont play like that anymore so how is this relevant
Real Madrid - 2017


PSG - 2017


Manchester City - 2017


Juventus - 2017

Our midfield play is atrocious, especially when we play 4231. We probably have the worst midfield play in Europe from the big teams.

Yeah, that was a good decision, but it took him long enough.

Now we need to buy Torreira in January.

Although knowing Max he'll probably still start Khedira against Madrid or PSG.

Our biggest issue going into the 2nd half of the season imo is that 3rd midfielder

Wish somehow either Marchisio recovers his old form and stays fit or Bentancur somehow explodes

The only reason Allegri keeps picking Khedira is for his physicality. I saw someone post the other day that Khedira is great at making vertical runs... I'm sorry he's even struggling to control the ball properly at times and his running style is almost reminding me of Amauri. I still remember when Amauri used to run like a wounded guy on the pitch. Gave a slow motion feel to it just like Khedira.
By Feb end, if Khedira still a starter for us, then we are in huge trouble.

I'm still in favor of this 4-3-3 and hope we continue using this formation.
Thought we signed Matuidi for physicality.
Khedira is getting minutes cause he was starter last season and he is german international and wc winner. As in that kind of rep makes him hard to bench for Allegri.

I remember how Bayern sold Schweinsteiger to Manure just as he began to decline. We should do the same to Khedira, sell him to some Premier League team for a small profit. The majority of fans over there still think he's good.

Barcelona's passing map against Manchester United in the 2011 final:



Our passing map against Inter at home last season:



Our midfield :lol:
You should show us a passing map from lets say 2015 season because that was also with Allegri at the helm and back than we actually had probably the best midfield in Europe so ofc our game was more incisive through the middle, i just dont see how can you really compare todays Juve who’s strength is on the wings to the 2011 Barca that had Messi as a fake 9 with Xavi and Iniesta pulling the strings in midfield....

He should show us a passing map from last season when we beat Barca 3:0 over 180 minutes.

Possession/keep passing the ball in non dangerous areas doesn't equal quality football.

Bolded part is true. So hard to understand :touched:

He can watch Arsenal now. 75% posession and 7000 passes between Xhaka, Ozil, Wilchair and Sanchez and they don't get through Ogbonna :baus:

I never said that I wanted us to play like Barcelona 2011, the point I was trying to make is that we don’t have any midfield when we play 4231. You don’t have to compare us to Barcelona 2011, just compare us to 2017 Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, etc... they all circulate the ball much better than we do when we play 4231. You can easily notice this just by watching, but our passing map confirms it.

I’m using this as an argument to why:

1. We need to switch to 433
2. We need to buy a more mobile midfielder than Khedira in the winter.

well, this Nedved guy is a retard. I dont post often but this guy forced me...
Forgive me for not being 100% positive all the time. How dare I give my opinion about how we can improve.

People love to feel accepted. There are some major groups in tuz and when some of them start with some opinion the rest just follow it like sheep...

I don't say that I'm agree with u most of the time but the way somes are attacking u is just silly cuz there are a lot of nonsense poster around here and noone said anything to them

Damn. :lol:

A conclusion based on a sample size of 1 (lol) out of a plethora of games. That's something.

And in that sample size of one, makes sense that we targeted their poor FBs. And our CBs always hold a deep line (they're not as good with a high line) even when we press.
