Clearly as seen from their performances in the CL, a 4231 is the best formation to use in the champions league. If we use this 352 again we are doomed.
I hope you'll understand at some point that for specific system of your desire we'll need the right personnel. Currently we simply don't have players to play anything other than 3-5-2. And I don't like this system in particular, but it is what it is.

that's why we are linked with players like menez, lulic,nani,cuadrado, shaqiri etc....

it's time for the transition.

I can't believe you just said that. Let me aware you on the truth: we have a better team than athletico Madrid except in the leftback and cetreforward position but athletico are really showing potential and we are in the Europa league. style of play ,formation and mentality is the key to Europe and conte needs to learn that.
youre clearly wrong. its a known fact that we have a better team than athletico Madrid except in the leftback and cetreforward position but athletico are really showing potential and we are in the Europa league. style of play ,formation and mentality is the key to Europe and conte needs to learn that.

The real difference between us and Athletico Madrid, even though we have a better roster, is that they go for the win, we're as in most cases we hope for it, and this can be seen in games when we're 1-0 up and dead scared of conceding.

and the notion that we don't have players for anything but 3-5-2 is beyond silly, we didn't play with 3-5-2 twice against madrid, and to this very day I didn't see anything that make players like isla, asamoah or even giovinco are 100% incapable playing as wingers that the way what pepe and/or giach did

it maybe far from ideal to field 2 wingers that are for example asamoah + isla with a lone striker, but we don't need to field 2 wingers at a time, the 4-3-3 we used in the past had just 1 winger and 1 ss.

I don't think our players are necessarily better than theirs. Their attack is so much better it's not even funny, and in midfield we have Vidal and Pogba but their midfield is still incredibly good.

This.

And im getting afraid that we are overrating a bit our sacred "mvp" mid.

As of late..they are playing a game of his own each one. We dont look to have a cohesive midfield at all...just a bunch of skilled players doing their things in their own way.. but with little end product. Its a shame.

That can be attributed to fatigue. We will sort shit out next season :D

Spot on!! 4 years ago we were all praying for a miracle to happen and that was getting a coach who could come in and change things around and maybe even make us win a scudetto and 4 years on we are on the verge of winning 3 scudetti in a row.

I'd like to see more creative play, especially out wide and less reliance on Pirlo...not sure how Conte can do this...Ancelotti managed it with Kaka behind the likes of Shevchenko and Inzaghi ...and that is probably what we miss most in this team, that link between our great midfield trio and our forwards. We don't have Ribery and Robben or Bale and Ronaldo...and to be honest I highly doubt cerci or menez can make us step it up to the level we need to be, but something has to give because we are predictable and easy to stop in Europe..in fact I don't understand why teams outside of Italy understand how to stop us and teams in Italy can't.
