Who can man mark him? Marchena doesn't have the mental discipline (and obviously not the physical discipline) to handle him, and Albiol is really a shockingly poor defender.

I agree it's the right tactic, but not with the defenders you have.

I want this:



Bench: Vicente, Michel, Pablo, Albelda, Morientes, Guaita, del Horno

Renan

Angulo - Maduro - Marchena - Moretti

Fernandes - Baraja

Joaquin -- David Silva -- Juan Mata

David Villa​

I'm sure Albelda will start somewhere. But I'd prefer him at rightback than midfield because Fernandes deserves a start already. Just dying to see Moretti again, even he can give this defence a bit of stability.

Bilbao play Osasuna tomorrow, so we have an extra day's rest advantage.

Athletic are usually very tough at San Mames so I expect a tough game, we need to hold out on the physical level here with Llorente, Orbaiz, Martinez etc. Very tough players to meet. Martinez is like a bulldozer in the midfield and the tank called Llorente is never easy to deal with, especially that he ALWAYS likes to be amazing against us

Bilbao keys again...

Llorente has to be marked well...and especially in set pieces high balls....and dont let iraola cross the freakin ball...simple as that
