Did anyone notice that we changed to this formation when savic came on??

I know that it's Swansea, but tonight tatics were spot on.
Eg, pushing yaya further up after 25mins to stop them playing from the back

Yeah I mentioned it in the match thread, couldn't quite believe it but Savic, Kompany and Lescott can hold the back against sides at home and Richards/Clichy are certainly fast enough to get up and down.

Impressed Mancini would try something like that, not what we'd expect from him.

Sorry if already in the match thread mate.

Still well impressed though!!

Interesting.I didn't see it like that at the match. Lescott went to left full back pushing Clichy forward to wide left leaving Savic to move to right centre back. I didn't really see micah's role change and he was just in front of us!
