a few people have referenced the playing formation as being 5-3-2. but today we started that way and after about 15 minutes themi moved to DM and we played 4-1-3-2 and when bill came on rojas moved to AM, mcglinchey to DM and bill played in front of mcglinchey to the right in a 4-1-2-1-2

I turned it on at the half hour mark and it looked like a 5-3-2 to me for most of the game, albeit with one of the CBs advancing into midfield a bit more. 

it was the 3-5-2 (that's how they intend it, no matter how it looks when defending) for half an hour, then Themi moved into DM in a 4-4-2 diamond (4-3-1-2/4-1-3-2/4-1-2-1-2, however you want to notate it). I think they later shifted back to 3-5-2 in the second half, with Bill dropping in as the third CB.

Yep just finished watching the game (argh that was hard!), and that's the formations we played. I wasn't impressed with Themi as a DM. He didn't move at all when we were in possession so never provided a pass outlet. When Bill came on the midfield looked much better for the 10 mins he was playing in the midfield. Weemac was able to get on the ball more dropping back to receive, and Bill moving well without the ball and was strong and good on the ball a bit higher up. But for some reason they then shifted back to a 3-5-2 and we reverted to total sharkness again.
