:lol: now suddenly everybody is praising 3-5-2 again :lol: remember guys, it's definitely working vs tiki taka false 9, but once it pitted against 4-2-3-1 or it's variant, the 3-5-2 will be too exposed on flanks, just like juve experienced.

I trust in Conte to solve this little issue. We've got the best coach. He'll think of something.

if he comes back in form I can see them calling Pepe back too and put him somewhere in there. :D

Yeah a little too early to tell. Need some friendlies against Germany/Dutch to see if it works. Though Prandelli's is much more attacking version with actual wingbacks.

Then again, in the BM v Juve game, we had freakin Quacktri and Peluso out there so Bayern had no fear in pushing everyone forward.

I worry about DDR getting injured though. Without him in midfield, there's no bite at all. Is there any DM's coming through with skill?

Montolivo---> Florenzi
Aquilani--->Poli
Astori---> Ogbonna
Gilardino---> Osvaldo
Cerci---> Insigne
Verratti somewhere, too, presumably.

Perfectly understandable leaving him, Florenzi and Insigne out to play for the U21s.

I don't like Osvaldo, so would possibly be looking for one of the strikers from the U21 squad to step up and take his place.

Prandelli's reluctance to use El Shaarawy is quite interesting.
