Ireland-de Jong-Barry
Tevez/SWP-Adebayor-Robinho
Same here pal but it is'nt going to change while we keep wining so no complaints from me. I think Robson and Superman will ajust to the new set up soon enough.
It was 4-3-3, or at least 4-3-2-1 the difference is there were one or two players sitting behind Ireland in the various formations last season eg De Jong & Kompany in more of a 4-2-3-1. Yesterday we had SWP-Ireland-Barry more or less side by side so all 3 had attacking & defensive dutys. Barry obviously knows the role better than SWP & Ireland so made better use of his runs/energy but still got forward to put crosses etc in whilst SWP & Ireland knackered themselves out a bit trying to do too much. It wasn't helped because Robbie tired/lazed as the game went on & Tevez' lack of match fitness meant they got a bit overworked in midfield.
