We have the two best young LBs in the world on our team now. Only problem is that we only need one LB lol.

So who moves to RB? Some say that Coentrao should because he's the new guy and Marcelo is the incumbent. Problem is that Coentrao has zero right foot. Marcelo is the more instinctual and naturally gifted of the two... so he should be more adaptable. HOWEVER, Marcelo's problem with moving sides will likely be defense. He just learned how to be ok defensively as a LB. What makes us think that he'll make a smooth transition to RB?

It's going to be a bit of a learning curve early in the season for whoever makes the switch. As fans, we should expect some struggles. The player should be afforded some time to figure a new position out.

Ramos to CB is going to be a very big plus. Carvalho was starting to slow down a bit. But can u imagine the card magnets we now have with our CB pairing... how many red and yellows do Ramos and Pepe have between them lol?! Who's going to be the calming influence on the defense????

lol.

Easy

Coentrao to the left wing, Marcelo LB, Di Maria to right wing and Ronaldo as a floating CF.

Benzema and Higuain as 2nd and 3rd strikers obviously :coffee:

Let's see where he plays first, and if he is actually able to slot in properly second.

Yeah, Marcelo as a winger could work.

Although we have excess there too.


SUCH FRUSTRATION. SO MANY PLAYERS. SO MANY PLAYERS.

Marcelo - Ramos - Pepe - Coentrao

Or the suggested:

Di Maria - Ramos - Pepe - Coentrao
with Marcelo as a winger.

I would also really like Arbeloa to be a starter, but that ain't happening I guess...

That would be a pretty good plan actually! Although it takes a lot of discipline for a player who is used to going forward to hold back. However, Alonso and Kaka work quite well together, and it would allow them to alternate between going forward and holding back, giving Alonso somewhat more freedom to play his Liverpool-game, yet he'd also be able to hold Kaka's line, when he makes a run.

EDIT: Okay, fail, I misread CB.

I had my questions at first, but I trust Mou to make the best of this. Coentrao is quite versatile, so any growing pains as a RB should only last a short time.

the reason why mou wants coentrao is becuase apart from being super talented he listens and learns he is also ready to sweat his balls out for the club. he shifted from winger to lb with ease so why cant he shift to rb? give him a chance guys

If it were up to me I would play Coentrao LB and Marcelo RB. Marcelo is the one that likes to cut in so why not play him on the right?

I don't like the idea of moving Marcelo when he has improved and become quite accustomed to his LB role. I think it could undo his progression, plus he shouldn't have to vacate for Coentrao.

Yeh I think he was taking the piss out of Di maria playing RB and Coentrao is also one of the best LBs in the world he might ruin himself going RB. In my eyes Marcelo will have a better chance of succeeding there.

When changing something there are two things you should ask.
1. What is wrong with the original?
2. What difference will the new make?

Mourinho's tactics and formation was spot on for most matches last season, and since there was nothing wrong with them last season, I don't see why he'll make huge changes like playing Di Maria in defence when it'll do the team no good. I still think he'll play a 4-2-3-1 for most matches next season since that has been his favourite formation for 3 seasons or so now with great success 5 or so major trophies in 3 years. This is my predicted line up for next season.


Casillas

Ramos------Pepe---Carvalho---------Coentrao/Marcelo

-----------Sahin/Khedira-Sahin/Alonso--------------

Di Maria/Marcelo--------Ozil/Kaka -------------Ronaldo

--------------Benzema/Higuain-----------------


Ronaldo will stay at LW(his favourite position) where he'll combine with one of the Portuguese speaking LB. Marcelo if he's to be moved to the forward position will play at RW where he can cut in to good effect. Ramos will remain at right back and rotate with Arbeloa if necessary. Coentrao will play as LB, you don't buy a 30 million player unless you intend to make the most out of him.

That way, only one player is played out of position and therefore little chemistry is lost from the season before.
