I wonder what will happen if Pato stays healthy and plays good football. Would Allegri use a trident?

Tevez - Ibra - Pato

Boateng
Nocerino - Aquilani​

Is that a possibility?

Their midfield currently is not strong enough let alone pushing Boateng back in there who has zero tactical sense anyway.

Tevez would take the place of Robinho or Boateng.

Against any mobile midfield Milan will struggle.

Thats not possible with Allegri, unless against very shitty opponents or chasing a goal in last 20 mins etc. The first thing Allegri did was ditch Leonardo's suicidal trident approach, where Milans shitty slow midfield was 2 fold exposed when playing with 3 forwards who barely tracked back.

He switched to crowding the midfield with 3 DMs basically as soon as he took over. Thats one of the reasons he and Pirlo parted ways too, his approach of covering DMs, and not someone like Pirlo in holding regista role, that can be a liability defensively.

Why? Its still a 4-3-3.. And I bet they'd have no problem playing van Bommel instead of Aquilani to give the team more presence in the middle.
Van Bommel this season plays like his grandfather, dude is a true geriatic dinosaur now, not like how he performed when he came in January.

Milan is already scoring 2.1 goals per game, best in Serie A. I don't know what Tevez will do to improve them. He is basically just replacing Cassano.

Go watch our game vs. them. Take out Cassano, put in Tevez. Does anything change? I doubt it.

As everyone has said, they need midfield.

Which makes it all the more odd that he decided to play with just one DM to take on Barca.

It wouldn't have mattered if they lost. In Serie A they can be a bit more defensive because it would matter more if they lose, plus most Serie A defences don't match up to Barca's so Ibra, Robinho and Pato are usually enough to win games.
