I think 4-2-3-1 is the way to go. We needs to move on from Bonucci, Pjanic and Mandzukic.
Out:
- Bonucci: He needs to get his trash mentality out of this club, seriously
- Pjanic: Not bad on his day, but too weak mentality to be the main cog of a winning machine.
- Matuidi: Stamina and heart alone is not enough.
- D.Costa: too inconsistent.
- Khedira, Barzagli, Orsolini, Rogerio....
IN:
- Ramsey: done. good box-to-box.
- Ndombele: very good press-resist player.
- Konate, Manolas: Quick and strong defender.
- SMS: Offer strength, technical and aerial power upfront.
- Zaniolo, Tonali if we still have money, Chiesa if we selll Cuadrado.
Woj

Ramsey/Can Ndombele
Berna Dybala SMS
C.Ronaldo
- We can defend in a 4-4-2 shape with SMS, Berna defend the flank.
- Long ball to SMS option like with Mandzukic, different is SMS is superior technical and can make better use of the ball.
- Play Ramsey when face smaller teams. Relies on physical CB, Ndombele when deal with counter-attack.
- Play Can when face strong team, switch between 3-5-2, 4-3-3 (SMS and one of Dybala, Bernar plays deeper)
- Play Cuadrado/ Chiesa in place of Bernar if we need width.
