No point to the formation with anybody but a CF in the middle then so it would be retarded as fuck.

Definitely. Regardless of yesterday's game I don't believe he'll use it this weekend but it's nice that he's finally working on a plan B.

 

[IrishZebra]

Only nice if it incorporates an actual CF...

Otherwise we end up having a plan B with the same deficiencies as plan A.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

For one game. Against Catania it failed miserably.

Did we use it against Catania that time? My memory is a bit foggy but I thought we played 4-3-3

 

[LiquidPLP]

If Pirlo is rested Conte could actually use 343.

Llorente actually would be more useful in this kind of formation and Giovinco too (as a sub). I don't think it would make much of a difference for Tevez and Vucinic. It actuall could be easier for them with another player higher up the pitch.

We need a plan 'B', especially for teams like Real. 352 is too passive in that kind of matches.

 

[Osman]

This plan B wouldnt be for Real, there is no way we would weaken our midfield and play one extra attacker vs them. If anything I wouldnt be suprised to see the 3-5-1-1 back vs them.

You're right we started with 433 and later on changed to 442.

343 would be the way to go imo. We would have double block on both flanks and strong partnership Vidal-Pogba to hold the midfield.

4-3-3 is better. i don't want to see a 3 man defence in the champions league.

 

[Xperd]

The thing with 3-4-3 is the same problem as 4-3-3,no proper RW.Vucinic and Tevez wont play there ,so quit this fantasy.

Options include Giovinco but he's not that direct and i question his ability to track back.I suppose you could include Isla as another option and i would say the most feasible option for that position but does Conte really seem convinced of playing him there ? Doesnt seem like it.

We need @Zacheryah here to settle this.

right wingers usually are left footed. asamoah (who is now a left-mid player) can play in that role easily and he can track back as he is used to do in 3-5-2. giovinco quags and pepe could play there too.

 

[Xperd]

I like the 3-4-3,atleast it wont get as exposed on the wings as it would with the 3-5-2,but with the wealth of midfield talent we've got,i really doubt we would be moving away from the 3 man midfield anytime soon.

I think Tevez could play RW.

[Xperd]

Well Tevez himself says he prefers to play in a central role.Putting him there wont get the best of him in my opinion.

I agree but that doesn't mean he can't play there or its not worth trying.

Playing Asmoah in the final 3rd is such a waste. He's not suited to play as LWB let alone RW. If we're to continue with 352 I would prefer Peluso tbh as LWB.

 

[Xperd]

Well he can,but i'd rather him(our best attacker) be a direct goal threat by playing him in the center unlike on the right ,where he'd have to be either hugging the touchline or cut in and use his weaker left foot more often.

There is surprisingly little diffrence between the mentionned 4-3-3 and 3-4-3.

RW ? Not asamoah offcourse, he doesnt have the skills to play there. He should be used as Cm (4-3-3) or defensive winger DW (3-4-3)

Tevez could play there, as an inside forward with alot of working.

I'd be in favor of the 3 man backline, since our defence is accustomed to it

 

[VUCIMata10]

In the confeds vs spain pirlo played in the 3-4-2-1 and was not nearly as effective, de rossi had a ton more touches then him, but pirlo did have a influence. But 3-4-3 im really skeptical about honestly, much rather have 433, but the 343 would be better for our defence as theyre acostomed to it, i would just like to see giovinco in the "1" in a 3-4-1-2 just for the hell of it
