Champions League Final 2010

[Vermilion]

Bayern better not let me down again as they did in 99. Don't think I could bear the sight of Mourinho if Inter win.

Whatever happens, it will be forgotten about in 2 days but 2005 will live on forever

Personally I am hoping for a fight and both teams getting disqualified.
Bayern are scum.
Mourinho is a tit.

From the BBC article about the game:

Inter are set to use the same four-man attack deployed against Barcelona.

Inter manager Jose Mourinho has been testing a 4-2-3-1 formation that includes Goran Pandev, Wesley Sneijder and Samuel Eto'o positioned behind and around centre forward Diego Milito.

All four forwards were also utilised in the two wins over Chelsea in the first knockout round and the 3-1 victory over Barcelona in the opening leg of the semi-finals.

I like how now Mourinho's doing it (having previously favoured 4-3-3) it's "four forwards" and "a four man attack".

Yet when we do it - the same formation Rafa's used for five years - it's "boring, negative, one up front"

[dww]

I also think I spy a forward playing 'out of position' in that formation too.

prob because jose will deploy them with a license to roam and interchange positions like he has done so far in the comp whereas rafa sticks them rigidly to a defense first 4-5-1................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ....

That's because he wins trophies Shaggy.

I don't understand. What difference does that make to the point I made? We line up with the same shape, yet it's one rule for Rafa and another one for him because he "wins trophies"? Sure, praise him for winning stuff (Rafa wins stuff too, remember) but you can't move the goalposts. When they do it it's four attackers, when we do it it's negative one up front.

[Pablo]

There's an argument to be made about how you implement that formation I guess, but even then, there's no way Mourinho plays that formation as 4 attackers.
