midfield will be overran no matter what we do. with 2 strikers the only way we'll score is from a set piece. There is no way Milito and Palacio alone can defeat the best club defence in the world. Counterattacking is what we do best, and a packed midfield is not necessary for it.
Let's not forget what happened in Euro 2012 final. Both italy and spain were possession based teams, and spain overran italy, even though italy insisted on trying to keep possession.
Possession is not necessary to win games, its what you do with it that counts, and at least from what Ive seen, we never do anything with it as we dont have the right personnel to retain possession long enough and then break down a packed defense.
Im not saying we can get possession easy. One extra man in midfield will help MARK their midfielders. Stop tmen creating and shooting. They han have the ball at their feet as long as long as they want, i cant care less if they don't do shit with it. And best club defense in the world? Come on... Their midfield is their defense and attack. Stop them, we will score and not concede.
