I was thinking exactly the same thing. Celtic made us suffer (easy for us to forget because of the aggregate scoreline) but their average players did for that very tactical reason.
I think Conte seriously needs to consider reverting to a back 4 (which he did by the way in the 2nd half). Especially now there is no Lichsteiner. That may actually be a blessing in disguise as it may force Conte to consider the back 4.
For the return leg, I would like to see this formation:
---------------------Buffon--------------------
Caceres----Barzagli----Bonucci----Chiellini
--------Pogba-----Pirlo-----Marchisio-------
-----------Vucinic----------Giovinco/Asamoah
-----------------Matri/Quags-----------------
Would rather play a back 4 then have Padoin being our right back against Bayern. I also think Giovinco and Vucinic are best suited to that formation.

I Actually agree, I think a 4-3-1-2 is our only chance, although I would go all out and drop Pirlo, I think he will be destroyed again, he was horrendeous tonight.
Caceres - Barzagli - Bonucci - Chiellini
