Manchester City Football Formation

Lineup (4-2-3-1)

City's formation without Dzeko or Johnson (who tends to be a like for like with Milner) De Jong plays the Anchor Man role while Barry acts as a deep ball player who rarely runs forward, instead just recycles play by short passes to De Jong or through balls. Toure tends to play as a third midfielder when defending before making runs into the box on the attacking. Silva plays more centrally than a winger and looks for space in front of the opponants defence acting as a typical spainish playmaker but defending like a winger when on the defensive.
