form the look of it, I would rather have a 4-5-1 formation now with torres lone striker
Me too mate, I prefer 4-4-2, but not with the players we have available
Wtf difference would a 4-5-1 have made, except isolate Torres even more.
The whole team was pretty quiet today. Alonso was the only sub who made an impact.
One of the first sensible posts I've read, really.
So you were happy with our play then were you, what would you have changed? I'm guessing you wouldn't have taken off Irish Keane? If you can't see that we should have started with Alonso and that having 5 in midfield would have meant we actually controlled the midfield then you must have a different interpretation of football to almost everyone else on this thread.
You're smart. I love how people notice Alonso start spreading the ball about then cluck their tongues and spout shyte like, "see, Rafa got it wrong" and "I told you Alonso should have started". Has it occurred to you, oh wise one, that the game was starting to stretch and that we were the fitter of the two sides, and invariably, Alonso was always going to get on the ball more and start pinging passes, but to whom? None really made a huge impact, or created a really guild edge chance, did they? Also, Alonso could have been carrying a little niggling injury, or was short of fitness, but seeing you're at Melwood every day, you'd have known this and seen Rafa's notes.

playing left wing he didn't turn out bad did he ?
only kidding.
