That still doesn't relate to my point of having the financial ability to bring in quality players instead of always going the Alli route. It's a matter of balance at the end of the day
It is also worth noting during that time James has generally been part of the front 3 while Isco has been part of the 3 mids behind them
No, Zidane playes with 2 cms and Ancelotti played James/Isco as no. 10s. That's why Isco and James aren't playing
You know I always make an effort to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you act so obtuse these days I really can't be arsed any more.
Modric and Alonso were Ancelotti's CMs
Yes, and Isco and James played as 10s. Instead of a 10 Zidane plays with a 6
With a 6? Bro - you're crazy. If you think James is better - fair dos
Zidane plays Kroos and Modric in front of Casemiro who's a #6.
Was utter dogshit in his stint at Blackburn in the league, but you're right he is scoring a considerable amount over in Germany now.
A number 6 is a defensive midfielder
And what do you think Alonso was in Ancelotti's formation? LOL
That's the sort of stat that fills me with joy..
What we're achieving doesn't get the credit it deserves..
The stat is also wrong.
It was a bit different. Ancelotti used a 4-3-3 in 13/14, but the role Ancelotti had Di Maria play in that midfield 3 was very different from what Zidane is asking Modric or Kroos to do. Then in 14/15 he alternated between a 4-2-3-1 (with James as the central attacking mid) and when Bale got injured a 4-4-2 (Isco on the left, James on the right).
