I'm not overly impressed so far. The team looks _completely different_ to me, than it was last year...and such a huge change was uncalled for...that team won the treble after all.
My bigger concern is we have some great dribblers, and all I see right now is Ribery and Shaqiri trying to distribute the ball...we aren't really taking advantage of the players we have.
I don't see this being a "hybrid" system either, it's just that Pep hasn't been here for long enough, so the team haven't managed to finish the transition. All the counters are pretty much gone, we are just holding the ball in the midfield whenever we would have a chance to counter.
I'm a little worried. I really loved last year's team, I would hate to see it changed completely.
We'll see I guess.
