just because you passed out from university of ibadan would not make you as gifted as wole soyinka. george best/bobby charlton went to the same united academy that graduated o'shea and kieran richardson.



so what are you insinuating when you threw in the madrid academy angle? why didn't he make it at madrid especially when he's from spain? he didn't make it because he's not good enough - simple! go and watch the manchester derby again(the community shield) and the last one at the etihad and watch how cleverley destroyed yaya toure in the midfield!




why are you bringing up an example i already spoke about......
it was still 3-4-3......guardiola had cesc at the tip of the 3-man midfield - cesc is not a striker, he's an attacking midfielder so formation was still 3-4-3 or at best 3-3-1-3 cos cesc operated in the hole!

thegoodjoehunt: @coogar. You know he played the formation but you are trying to make it look like he didn't. What do you mean by semblance. Please I am tired of your ranting. By the way keep in your head that you said Clevely is a better midfielder than Javi Garcia. You also said Javi Garcia is plank congrats.

thegoodjoehunt:

Now you know more than the person analyzing the match. Please Mr I too know. There is nothing you can say to change the fact that he played the formation. You didn't speak about it. You tried to paint it as if he didn't try the formation in that game.
Didn't you here about the match Anderson destroyed Fabregas? Does that make Anderson better than Fabregas?

i followed guardiola at barca - he stuck to 4-3-3 for a long time and then experimented with 3-4-3. the only time he played the 3-4-3(diamond) formation was against milan - that had a semblance of 3-3-4 but fabregas is an attacking midfielder in that game operating at the tip of the other 3 midfielders. the formation did not work as barca nearly lost and guardiola never repeated the formation again till he resigned!

coogar:

i would have accepted 3-3-4 if he had another striker alongside messi in that role. but cesc was the closest player to messi - how is that 3-3-4 for feck's sake?
when did fabregas become a centre forward?

Why are you asking? I thought you know it all. Having a particular type of player on the pitch doesn't mean that it dictates the formation. When he played Messi as a false 9, was Messi normally known as a striker?

You can't deny the fact he played the formation or can you deny that he played over 7 formations through out his career. Why make a statement like he stuck with his 3-4-3 formation when you are not sure.

By the way, I thought you said Cleverly is better than Javi Garcia (the genius from Benfica) . Don't worry. Let time keep rolling.

Guardiola fan who studies Guardiola more than Ferguson. Yet he thinks direct football is the best strategy and 4-4-2 is the most attacking formation.

I throw way salute.

cleverley has faced only toure twice and he destroyed him twice. anderson/cesc was in a one-off game and the game wasn't even a do or die affair like the manchester derby where city was desperate to win. the dude analysing the match even said it could be interpreted as 3-4-3 which i am sure it's the correct formation!

yes, i spoke about it here....you even quoted it but you are too blind to read!

Anderson outclassed Fabregas in two games please. The first game was in the EPL. I can't really remember the scores. Later he outclassed Stephen Gerard. The next time was in the Carling Cup match that Ronaldo, Tevez, Nani, Anderson, I think Rafael and Fabio also played that game. It ended 4-1. It was the match Nani did the seal dribble with the ball on his head on Hoyte. Adebayor came in and scored.

Please no too much ranting. You said Cleverly is better than Javi Garcia. No stress. You also said Javi Garcia is plank. Fantastic. Let the season go on.
