You have the usual triangle in the middle and they went back to what they know.
We're 2-1 up, not maybe the way we were looking to be 2-1 up, but mistakes happen, they score on set pieces and they went back to it.
What I'm trying to explain to you is, yes, Pep sometimes doesn't like to change his way and his philosophy, but he had to change the tactic today.
And that's why, after you saw Mangala coming on, because Fernandinho had to go back in the middle to make sure that he was going to be the holding midfielder, knowing what he does.
David Silva played as a fake nine.
He changed his shape because he wanted to possess the ball.
That's not how they scored, but I wanted to explain why they made all those changes.
Because Man United ultimately forced them to do that, although they were brilliant and we all talked about that.
And there was something else that I wanted to talk about also, unfortunately.
And I've been there.
It's that position as a striker.
Sometimes you lose your focus.
You're not strong enough in this type of situation.
And that's the game against Arsenal last week.
Look, he should have been stronger.
He's not stronger.
David de Gea saves him.
We're going to fast forward a bit.
That's going to end up not being a goal.
Moving on to this game.
