Put Gosens on the left instead of Berna or Pellegrini and it would look solid-ass.

You seem to be in full meltdown mode at the moment so let me help you. @U Picciriddu is not the Juve coach AFAIK but using that system you have this:
They are not robots that stand on one area of the pitch and don't move. Cuadrado often plays that high anyway, and Alex Sandro barely even gets forward to put a cross in. The formation on paper is not important.
Ronaldo - Suarez
Kulu/Dybala
Berna/Pelle - Arthur - Benta/Rabiot - Cuadrado
Sandro - Bonucci - Demiral
Szczesny
Then if Cuadrado slots back to defend or change the focus of attack:Kulu/Dybala
Berna/Pelle - Arthur - Benta/Rabiot - Cuadrado
Sandro - Bonucci - Demiral
Szczesny
Ronaldo - Suarez
Kulu/Dybala
Berna/Pelle - Arthur - Benta/Rabiot
Sandro - Bonucci - Demiral - Cuadrado
Szczesny
or
Ronaldo - Suarez
Berna/Pelle - Arthur - Benta/Rabiot - Kulu/Dybala
Sandro - Bonucci - Demiral - Cuadrado
Szczesny
Just like magic it becomes a back four, and the crisis that is a back three is averted.Kulu/Dybala
Berna/Pelle - Arthur - Benta/Rabiot
Sandro - Bonucci - Demiral - Cuadrado
Szczesny
or
Ronaldo - Suarez
Berna/Pelle - Arthur - Benta/Rabiot - Kulu/Dybala
Sandro - Bonucci - Demiral - Cuadrado
Szczesny

Too many disgusting players in the starting 11. 
Yup. And 433 with Ronaldo - Dybala/Suarez - Kulu/Dybala, the width problem remains. We’ve also seen that 4312 (at Sarriball at least) wasn’t really helping to those problems, even though Cuadrado attacks a lot.
I agree though that it’s all up to which player occupies which space, instead of some rigid formation, but there’s a big difference between 433 and 3412 imo.
Even though I don’t like Suarez, I’ve always believed that life would be a lot easier for Ronaldo and Dybala if they have a 9 between them, and I think we’re waisting Dybala’s talent if we’re using him as a winger or striker. He’s at best between the lines and just outside the box. I also like Kulu when he’s playing more centrally. People who have seen him playing at Parma know that he doesn’t stay on the wing.
The only thing I don’t like from those formations it that the midfield can be pretty exposed and usually 433 is more successful in CL.

This is something I have been saying for ages, but for some reason no one else is addressing the problem in this team.
Our attack is narrow and slow. All teams have to do to stop us is congest the middle. We don’t have the players to stretch the pitch.
This is why I want us to sign Chiesa. It’s not that Chiesa is a great player, it’s because Chiesa provides something that no one else in this team does. Direct running, pace and width.

To be honest, I think a back 3 suits our squad. We leaked way too many goals last year as or fill backs pushed up a lot and made it world class center backs look worse than what they are.
De Ligt, Demiral, Chiellini, Bonucci are players that will thrive in back 3
Cuadrado and Sandro will also be better players in that system and provide more width. Bernardeschi and Pellegrini are also good wing back options as would Costa (if he stays and stays fit)
Ronaldo and Dybala will be better in more central positions too.
