this could be effective against low ranked teams but against Barca ... i don't think.
i'd go with this against big teams:

---------------Casillas
--Arbeloa---Pepe---Ramos---Marcelo
---------------Khedira
----------Alonso-----Sahin
---Ozil----------------------Ronaldo
------------Higuain/Benz

i always believe the formation adjust with ronaldo's free role.

I'm pretty positive Di Maria won't be the one being sacrificed.

Ozil and Sahin can probably match their midfield so I think we should go for it.

my dream formation for 2012
----CR7---Drogba-----
------Kaka/Ozil----------
-Sahin-Alonso-Ozil/Khedira-
Marcelo-Pepe--Ramos-Lahm

ramos - varane - carvalho - coentrao
----sahin------pepe------xabi---------
----ozil--------higgy------ronaldo


this may be good experimentation formation

Mine:

Arbeloa - Pepe- Carvalho - Marcelo
---------- Sahin ----- Xabi ----------
-------------------Ozil--------------------
--- Higuain -----Ronaldo -- Di Maria---

lol.

No, he is a liability. He and Pique will be the demise of the Spanish NT in some years and get us slaughtered
by the Belgian NT.

He might turn out okay though, I am not guaranteeing any of my predictions will become reality.

reading with the rumours

alcantara busquets cesc vs sahin khedira canales .... in the future



barca getting most of the spanish players

GERMANY FUR WELTMEISTER.

Or Belgium.

Or die Heimat Holland.

Or Uruguay.

All those would be fine with me.

i prefer the spanish domination...

canales sarabia morata and jese

I guess that would be fine. As long as it is Spain domination without Barca players in the team.

I like what Del Bosque has been doing in the friendlies.

of course any barca DNA is not welcome

how confident are you with coentrao at the right?

===================Casillas=======================

Coentrao========Pepe=========Ramos==========Marcelo

========Sahin=========Alonso========Cazorla========

Neymar===============Aquero=================Ronaldo

and back-up

=====================Adan=======================

Albiol========Varane=========Carvalho==========Arbeloa

========Khedira=========Granero========Ozil========

Di Maria===============Higuain=================Callejon

and additional reserves Altintop, Morata or Lass

OMG Ozil back up to CAZORLA?!?!?!

really, cazorla over ozil?

spanish bias?

quite possibly yes, but we are almost certain to have significant rotations this year. If we do get Cazorla (still not much more than a hope in my mind - most depends first off if we can sell off Kaka), it would likely be rotations with him and Ozil. I think Ozil is probably better but Cazorla in the midfield with Sahin and Alonso makes for a very strong passing / possession midfield plus Cazorla has a very dangerous shot from midfield which Ozil doesn't.

Ozil is going to have to fight for playing time next year with Khedira, Sahin and Alonso plus Kaka or whoever they replace him with. The change to 4-3-3 is also going to hurt him as well. He may get some time on wing (over Di maria) if we don't get Neymar.

I'm not comfortable with Coentrao at right, but it seems to me that it's happening and I respect Mou to not take him on unless he was sure it will work. I'm still hoping it's gradual whereby Ramos still plays some at RB (we need him at RB on selecciones for another year to two).

However, I'm really excited with this potential line-up, 2 very agressive FB, strong at CB and of course goal, a midfield that although they don't yet have the team chemistry as Barca can also excel at passing and possession (plus every one of them have strong shots from midfield) and as strong a front line as any team. I think we don't have to alter line-up to play against barca if we have this line-up. (note - at this point both Neymar and Cazorla are just hopes for me).
