Actually, Marcelo will go right Empty Actually, Marcelo will go right

Nothing revolutionary really, but we havent discussed this as much as the other option.

Still rejecting the idea that we went such great length to sign a 30M player to have him play rotation with Marcelo, plain stupid. Mourinho likes depth, but at least he recognized before that Coentrao was too much like Marcelo, an attacking FB. Depth means, one attacking, one more conservative, not two attacking. Still holding on to what i said, i blow my brain out if they compete.

The more i think about it, the more it makes sense. Watching Coentrao, the way he plays, the way he attacks, the kid is a glorified overlapping fullback. He likes to galop the left side up and down while trying to stretch the defense and deliver the proper cross. That's the way he plays, he doesnt put the ball on his right foot and cut in, he overlaps. He is also a better crosser than Marcelo, from my appreciation, and can lift the ball up with more accuracy. Even though we arent crossing so much, a quality pass from outside in is crucial one way or the other.

While Marcelo, all he does his cutting inside, and trying to get inside the box. Mind you, he does it from the left side which can prove to be more difficult. In fact it's easy to notice that most people cutting in, play on the opposite side of their stronger foot, so that they can accelerate and gain speed on the dribble. Marcelo is gifted with a very low center of gravity, and he uses it at good effect to dribble in between the defenders. Crossing is never is first option as opposed to Coentrao.

It makes sense in terms of playing style. But also, if playing with our usual 4231 shape, i believe that Coentrao is a better cover for Ronaldo, as the name of his game is running. kid is relentless, natural galloping fullback, his athleticism helps, and he covers a lot of ground to cover the space Ronaldo wont care much to look at. On the other side, Marcelo will get the help of a dedicated Di Maria as always.

Last but not least, Marcelo is actually two footed. Oh, and admit it, Coentrao is better than Marcelo as LB...

I dont like this idea of experimenting with the defense, but as long as it works out, im good with it.

lol, no, some guy mentioned it already on the old forum, and here as well, i forgot his name, he doesnt post much.

I just put it in a shiner light, with supporting arguments and such. Smile

It's funny when we think about it, we completely shut down the idea of marcelo moving.

I was actually thinking about this exact same thing not so long ago

It just makes more sense, also on the right Marcelo would have more cover as generally Di Maria played on the right side.

The better defender would then pair up with Ronaldo on the left

Marcelo would be able to cut in alot better on the right and let Di Maria stick to hitting the byline and crossing the ball, while the opposite would happen on the left Ronaldo would stick to cutting in and Coentrao would hit the byline to cross the ball in.

It just makes alot more sense.

forgot to add this, playing on the right can enhance MArcelo's ability to attack

His defensive game would be the only thing I have doubts about. Marcelo is already mediocre at defense, although he's improving. It's quite hard to defend on the 'wrong' side, that's why even very defensive-minded fullbacks prefer their natural side, I can see Marcelo conceding some crucial goals if he moves to the right.

The only fear with marcelo is his positioning and strategic awareness... He's a bit of a maverick out there. He just started to figure it out on the left. I have a feeling that it would also take a him a while to adapt to the right. He's really not the best defensively.

Coentrao has a bigger engine and much better positioning. I think the transition defensively to the right would be easier for him.

Offensively, Marcelo is just better although Coentrao is no slouch.... Can use both feet better. So of course, Marcelo would be better ob either side.

I don't think either Marcelo or Coentrao will be better than Ramos at right back. Besides that, Mourinho never plays with two offensive minded full backs, Arbeloa will be preferred over the two if Ramos is moved into the centre.

I can however see them rotating with Di Maria on the right wing if the need be, Ronaldo will stay on the left wing and will combine well with either full backs.

It'd be funny to see the reaction on you guys when we find out that Coentrao plays RB and Marcelo plays LB.

Exactly. That was the first thing I thought of too. Marcelo cuts in so soo nicely from the left. And that overlap has been perfected to the level that it's a science.

But...
If we are gonna play 433, like most people seem to think, Ronaldo will be playing on the right won't he?

It makes perfect sense, but it would require Marcelo to be rooted out of the position he was so good in and he would have to acclimatise to RB. His partnership with Marcelo would also be destroyed.
