I prefer to think rather more of Del Piero and Ranieri than that.

Fair enough. I was just wondering if that game could stand as a reason to not play 4-3-3 against Cagliari, but probably not.

He was rested as he had a slight injury.

I'm deeply suspicious of formations without natural width in them, especially when playing an inferior team at home. It just goes against my idea of how it is best to play, so I'm never going to be in favour of a system like the one you suggested. I would start with, more or less, our normal...

Cronios, While your arguments for each individual position make sense, I'm not convinced that that group of players could work together for the reasons I stated in the posts above.

That's one thing, but at least play Grygera at RB. He can provide some width on that side, where Mellberg cannot.

A narrow team like that is very easy for an organised defence to close down. You need width, or none of the creative players will be able to find the space in which to play and create chances.

You need a winger to play on the right side when Mellberg is playing RB, otherwise there will be no width on that side.

Because it is absolutely vital to over-react to the Udinese game and make as many changes as possible.
