Team 5: Saikh Mahammad Haider, Gurjot Singh Formation: 4-4-2 Substitution: Pepe out. Werner in. We saw that our defence was being caught on pace for being higher up the pitch so we decide to move to low line traditional defence with danny rose , sule, Vertonghen and piszczek . We now have 4 midfielders which is where the versatility of Coutinho and mahrez come into play they fit into this role perfectly of playing the wings, although the crosses would be majorly inverted but they would be too quality from both sides and in plenty. Surely Lewandowski and Werner can combine to score 2 or 3 goals. We now challenge them for the midfield battle, with rabiot and fabinho moving a bit up the pitch with support from flanks, and can easily neutralise Keita and Busquets. On attack we keep the ball moving from flank to flank, until we find space and this formation is where ball playing ability of central mids comes into play, both Werner and Lewandowski are good at slipping of the shoulder plus Lewandowski is good at meeting crosses with perfection too. We do not push the wing backs forward on every occasion, instead make them play the early ball to meet the run of Lewandowski.i think fabinho and rabiot have higher work rate and can easily block the channels that Busquets love, they have been asked to specifically take care of this whenever we lose possession.
