I think we're probably playing this formation to conserve energy for the Milan game.

This game has a draw written all over it..
It is going to be the same as last year: Draw away to Nordsjælland = FCK, and draw home to Shaktar = against Gala tomorrow.
Our problem is creating 1on1 scoring opportunities.
Our tactics are too slow and predictable, and Mancini knows how to defend against us = park the bus.
I will be very surprised, if we manage to score more than 1 goal - If so, it will be random goals from set-pieces/long shots/deflections.
I am not a fan of 3-5-2, but we don´t have the players to play 4-3-3, optimally.
However, if we improve our attacking positioning and counter attacks, I am sure we can reach the quarters in CL like last year.
Anyhow, we will draw tomorrow, but we can/will salvage that result home against Real and away against Gala - Just like CL last year.

A draw would be disastrous here and would probably jeopardize our chances for qualification.Real Madrid are on a whole another level to that crap Chelsea team of last year and there's a big possibility we lose both games or get just one point from those games.Its not as easy as you think.A win is of perennial importance here and if we make a slow start like last season putting our qualification chances until the last CL day,then chances of making the last 16 decreases drastically.
I agree, it will be VERY difficult to qualify further if we don´t win tomorrow, but I still think we will draw..
I hope I will be proven wrong by a motivated Juve team, but even so, our tactics still seems too slow and predictable.
Gala should not be underestimated, and I believe Mancini will park the bus and focus on counter attacks which has been our nemisis so far this season - But also last season.
I don´t see us changing away from 3-5-2 since we have the players for it, and because Conte has used only that formation for more than a year.
(Maybe the change in formation in the last 15 min against Torino is a sign on otherwise, but I highly doubt it).
Therefore, we must improve our slow and predictable attacking play, if we want to qualify further in CL.
TBH, I am not sure how we can improve upon this, but to me, our pressing, attacking positioning, and motivation can/must be better, even if we keep playing 3-5-2.
