Full-back is now the most demanding tactically significant position in my Manchester City team.

Without left-back, doing the job of two players with his lung-bursting runs up and down the flanks, Brazilian Robinho would not have the license to play as an inside forward, from where he can score all goals from different position.

Striker’s licence to roam from the deep is only possible because there is a five-man midfield with two wing back supported. There is less need to track back defensively while another 10-man tirelessly covers every blade of grass on the field.

I hope my system will reap rich rewards as rivals struggle to find a way to turn off the supply line fuelled by Robinho and Elano.

In producing perfectly weighted passes for forward line, Marek Jankulovski became the latest addition to my squad to create some backup cover in left back positions.

Now comes the acid test of the duo against big guns from Premiership in the City of Manchester stadium.
