Legrotagglie has played good the last matches, and hopefully he will be great next season (like in Chievo).
And Appiah has a lot of talent and potential, he just needs some time to adapt, and the best way to do that is to let him play. Appiah cant be blamed alone, Tacchinardi has been horrible lately too. And he is much more experienced than Appiah is.
Appiah cannot win any balls, which is unacceptable if u r a midfielder, he won 1 ball during the first half against Inter...
Tacch can only destroy, but we knew that

We were watching different matches, when our line stepped out there was always a player, who left behind by 5 meters, and he was turning like a tanker-ship, even the hungarian co-commentator noticed that.Sad, but Leg isnt juve material.

this formation is just amazing. with deschamps coming, probably, it seems more likely. its just waiting there to be used!

--------------------------buffon-------------------------

thuram-----------legro--------mexes------------zambrotta

----------maresca------tacchinardi-------appiah----------

----------miccoli--------gilardino------del piero-----------



change mexes and gilardino for whoever you like. anyway this will happen if trez [practically out the door already] and nedved[perhaps] leave.

for that well have 40m + to spend. gilardino will comes for a bit over 10m, while mexes also.

realistically, moggi may also go for ferrari or oddo in defence, and if were really lucky, a playmaker, but i doubt a playmaker will come.

but this formation has it all, strength, flair, strong cover for the defence, a creative and yet strong front line. it allows the wing backs to get forward, something which we should do considering how good our wing backs are.

and its proved successfull!
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a formation that would work worse than that....Seriously mate, that's just out of control.

First of all, if you're gonna play Mexes and Legro in central defense together, then put Mexes on the right and Legro on the left, where they belong. Next, why the hell is Legro there? Has he not given enough terrible performances this season to warrant him being dropped? He was a one-season wonder and we were one season too late in buying him.

Zambrotta is perfect for this formation, because the midfield lacks width, but he can make up for that. Thuram, however is not good for that formation because he's getting slower and his decision making ability is becoming very poor, so I'd rather not have him going up to attack, as I doubt that he would recover well.

The midfield is probably the worst part...You've got two players who have absolutely sucked this season, and one who is inexperienced and playing out of position. Maresca is a central midfielder, that means he plays int he middle and that's where he is best. Appiah is not a left-sided midfielder, and honestly, I don't know why you'd put him on the pitch, he plays like shit. The same goes for Tacchinardi. The midfield in this scheme is the most important part, and yet you've managed to put together a thoroughly uncreative midfield with no passing talent, except on the right side, and you've even managed to put only one ball-winning player in there too. So you've got a midfield that is not good in offense or defense...

    1.leggo's had some horrible games and made huge mistakes,while zamby,even struggling with injury,has hardly needed any time to get his form back.offensively he's done well while remaining relatively reliable at the back.

    2.of course nedved's a huge disappointment.i just didn't mention it.i thought we were talking about thuram here:wallbang:what about montero then??i don't see you complaining about him either.in any case,you've failed to refute my argument that thuram has had a bad season.case closed.

    3.we all know about his exploits on the left wing.but the fact remains that we do play in a 4-4-2 most of the time and that he is not alone on the wing.dp roams on the left alot,and neddy,when not in the centre,moves out left too.
    you cannot say zombas had a better defnsive season then legro if legros played more games at a more consistent level.

    didnt see me complaining about montero?! you didnt see him in my team, what does that say? thuram has not been our worst defender by any means, but one of our best. definitely can perform again next season!

    WE DO NOT NORMALLY PLAY A 442 :rofl:

    usually we play with a 4312 or a 4231. just because we used a 442 sometime last night doesnt mean we always use it :rofl:

    ZAMBROTTA WOULD NOT BE ISOLATED IN A 433. you didnt answer the question: was pessoto isolated in a 433? of course you didnt because the answer is NO.

    4-3-3 requires wingers. We don't have any.
    you mean wingbacks. :LOL: what is zambrotta? and how often does thuram go forward? always!

    the thing that concerns me most is that only maresca, del piero and miccoli are creative players. you'll have zambrotta on the left which is good as he can create from there, but thuram on the right will not.

    tacchinardi and appiah offer nothing but defensiveness.

    this formation would be better if the following was done.

    1. replace thuram with trabelsi and put thuram in the centre with mexes. (i persoanlly would sell thuram now)

    2. appiah cant play along with maresca and tacchinardi, its just to defensive. Kapo in appiah position would be better as i believe he will join us. And the other option is of course keeping nedved and playing him in appiahs position.

    3. i think Zlatan would better suit this formation as he can create and bring del piero and miccoli into the game a lot more than gilardino can. i think with del piero and miccoli working it on the forward wings, you really do need a player who can hold the ball up, dribble while being tall and a target man.

    4-3-3:

    trabelsi--mexes----ferrari---zambro

    ----maresca--tacchinardi---kapo/nedved

    ----miccoli-----zlatan---del piero

    i think that would work better.

    tachinardi has given many assists. we know how juve players improve after the first year. appiah certainly can tackle hard at brescia, no reason why he cant at juve. he can be attacking also, take players on and give assists; for del piero in the supercoppa in what must be one of the best passes all season from anyone.

    i agree about thuram in the centre, ive always wanted him there, but its trivial as the formation sorts itself out. gilardino seems more probable, 15 goals already for parma!!

    No, I mean wingers and there's no need to laugh at me if your own intelligence is failing to keep up.

    Zambrotta could, theoretically at least, be seen as a winger, I think he lacks what it takes but that's debatable. Either way, you put him in defence.

    Thuram is a defender, who comes forward when the opportunity is there. His primary task on the pitch is to defend and it should stay that way.

    lilian in the centre is abit dodgy for me, he has alsways shown this slight lack of concentration when he has played as an orthodox cb, but in his day has has to be one of the best RCB's in a three man defence or a rb, But in cb he is jus not imo right for.

    I'm a very big proponent of empiricle evidence. He has played with Juve for almost an entire season and there is little to no evidence of him being a hard tackler, or even being able to win the ball. Legro was pretty good with Chievo, and he sucks here. Mendieta was the best in the world with Valencia, but he sucked for Lazio. The point is that players sometimes decrease in ability for one reason or another. Therefore, you can not say that because Appiah was good last season, he will be good again, there is not enough evidence to make that assumption.

    we can apply that to vds in a way... :D..dont start ian. :cool:
    Did you think that I was not prepared for that? VDS had a few things going for him that Appiah does not. Edwin was the starting keeper for a european football giant, the Netherlands. His performances for the Oranje have always been exceptional even against the top teams in europe. Does Appiah even play for his national team? Edwin was great his first season here and every season that he played here, Juve had the least goals conceded in the league. Furthermore, history would prove that Edwin was not as washed up as many had suggested. He continues to turn out great performances in Oranje, and he has been instrumental in Fulham's continued presence in the Premier League.

    Well, I did watch every game, and you have to admit that the entire team was crap and he was injured for most of that season.

    Ian you'll be interested to know PSV are looking to purchase him for next season as Waterreus is leaving (not certain yet to which club but he's leaving for sure).

    Yes, I've read it on Footballnl. My feeling on the issue are mixed. I'd certainly like to see Edwin playing european football again, but I'm an Ajax man, so I'd have to root against him in the league...

    no evidence of players improving after their first season?!

    thuram, nedved, even buffon, zambrotta and so on.

    its empirical, not empiricle.
