how would you line up our available players in 4-3-3 against cagliari?
Woj
Cuadrado MdL Demiral Alex Sandro
Rabiot/Can Pjanic Matuidi
Costa Higuain/Dybala CR7
If Costa isn’t fit to start, then move Cuadrado into the right wing role and play Danilo/MDS at RB. Can easily shift into a 4-4-2 if need be.
Simple. Football is a simple game, over-complicated by coaches in Italy. I agree with Max, too much mental masturbation by so-called geniuses, when easy options are there, staring you in the face.
This bullshit reminds me of Conte’s “we can’t play 4-3-3 without Simone Pepe” garbage, forcing us to use the 3-5-2, which was great in weak ass Serie A, but got found out time and time again in Europe.
People say we don’t have the wingers to play 4-3-3 (false) but I fail to see where we have the required CAMs to play this horrendous 4-3-1-2, and we clearly don’t have the mezzale with characteristics we had in the past who could make runs beyond the strikers and score plenty of goals.
Stick to what was working for us for large parts of this season and previous seasons.
