I have not heard all the interviews, so not sure if asked, but do we know how he likes to setup his team?

Your right. I'll ask a ridiculous question next!
Good to see the chuckle brothers egging you on!

Not been mentioned. I guess we will get a rough idea after some friendlies and player recruitment.

Leeds and Swansea under Pep and Monk both played 4-2-3-1.
Front man tended to be good at holding up (Wood at Leeds, Bony / Gomis at Swans) and they went direct into him reasonably often. Full backs were all very mobile and attacking and both holding midfielders tended to get about an awful lot - high energy and quick press. The three behind the striker was key and there wasn't a huge emphasis on defensive duties.
It's hard to tell just how involved Pep was in this side of things and how much was Monk, and I guess we won't find out until the games begin, but both of his last two clubs have played very similarly.

When asked by radio oxford what his preferred formation/style would be. He said it would all depend on the opposition. While this may be his preferred formation, I think we may see a bit more flexibility and Adapting/ reacting to the circumstances than we did under Appleton

Ideally they'll be made at five minute intervals on 75, 80 and 85 no matter what the urgency or circumstances. Bloody Spanish, coming over here and changing our tactics.

When he also says he can play in a number of positions, we now at least don't have to worry that 1 may be left back 😉. Been a while since we have actually seen Johno in his proper position.

Something we have lacked is flexibility in our team layout against different opposition.

I understand that Clotet is going to take a watching stance on Saturday and not get too involved. So we may not learn a great deal until Portugal.

Even if he changes regular, there will probably only be 2 or 3 main formations he will rotate.

10 outfield...1 keeper... it can only be a limited number of combinations... think FIFA stopped rush goalies.....

Lets just let pepsi get himself settled in before asking this sort of silly shit. He will have his own ideas on how his team will set up and play and his idea on the players that will deliver his style of football on the pitch. So, unless someone has a crystal ball that they can call on to give us some insight into pepsi's playing style, we'll just have to wait and see!

Very good post. Even though as you say Monk was the man in charge, I doubt he would have as a number 2 a man who didn't at least partly share his footballing principles. Assuming Pep does prefer setting up like this, where does this leave our current squad? Ledson seems to fit the bill of CDM you describe, but I'm not sure Lunny will, being less mobile. Also, with McAleny not resigning and assuming Maguire leaves, I anticipate this being a big season for Rothwell, who has always impressed me, as he could fit into that mobile CAM role well. Is Obika a target man of the type you describe? I don't know much about him.

If it were this formation where does that leave Hemmings/ Thomas/ Roberts? All 3 would I suspect, prefer to play off Obika

One thing i hope PEP does that MAPP didn't is from corners get men to stay forward, it was so frustrating last season when we cleared a corner and the furthest man forward was edge of the box and the opposition got the ball back from that . The opposition will usually leave 2 or 3 back so we should have 1 or 2 up by the half way line. If we were to Stick Johnson and Hall up on the Halfway line and a clearance gets out to them then they wouldn't be caught.
