Alves can then roam forward freely and Pep's plan might work on . Besides what Athletic used to do under Caparros and Bielsa are way different. That's why using Caparros' games as analysis holds little value imo. Valencia in a sense already suited their gameplay for our 3-4-3 at that time, but now when 3-4-3 is at least expected then Pep will pull this out. Against Plzen, Keita was very bad when passing the ball. I don't have the statistics with me, but I believe UEFA will have the stat. Keita's tendency to choose the passing lane very predictably is very dangerous also.

I have much to learn still too, but what I wanted to convey in that paragraph is these things: 1. Pep will, with no doubt, put a surprise in his formation or approach. Everyone will think it's the 4-3-3, and that's why Bielsa will try to play the 4-2-3-1 as he can try to dominate Alves in wingback and pin him down, and also with the extra man for them they'll press us higher. 2. Yes, 3-4-3 is very nice for Fabregas and this could maybe turn out to be one of the key match for him this season. Last season with Caparros we could only scrape draws, but that was because they're playing very deep. I'm also opposed to playing Keita when we need to emphasize possession as he lost a lot of balls and his passing went astray too many times in the match against Plzen. Basically, we don't really need that much physicality in midfield that much anymore.

When we need a back four, then Busquets will shift back with Thiago as the holding midfielder. Not the best player in CB, but substitutions can be made if Pep want to revert to 4 at the back. :D Sun, 6 Nov 2011 04:52:26 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/matches/match-preview-athletic-bilbao-vs-fc-barcelona-2/#IDComment217553030 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/matches/match-preview-athletic-bilbao-vs-fc-barcelona-2/#IDComment217552378 Duly noted!

The plan got shelved, and I think the board will add about 10,000 seats.. and upgrade several other facilities. By the way, La Masia has already been upgraded too.
