Looking towards tonights game, bielsa has played a 3-3-1-3 at most of his clubs. I know its meant to be an exciting attacking formation but I never believed just how much he wants his wing backs to get forward. Its a very clever formation and involves a lot of ganging up in numbers. Strangely, and tonight will tell, but I feel as though he might actually be able to transform sacko. The formation requires non stop running and athleticisim in the wings, if you look at the video below the wing backs do very little defending and are almost always running around the back of defenders. Look at the lad with blonde hair in wing back and tell me he's not a little bit reminiscent of sacko. If we can get that 'attacking 6' playing the way this lille side does we could be in form some very enjoyable football.

Was surprised to see him not play that formation! Maybe he has some new ideas?
