Him or Pogba.


But assuming it's true: what's not to like about a 4- man backline with Bonucci?

I'm not a fan of Marchisio or Pogba behind the strikers, but I guess we don't have other options.

Edit: Giovinco

I've asked for this once; let's see if I should be fired.

That formation gives us some hope even though we'll probably just park the bus.

Three draws and three wins, it could happen again

I just pray we don't get embarrassed

You call it man marking, I call it fumbling around.

No one will fire you. I won't stand for it!

Excited about Marchisio & Bonucci, I assume?

 

[ZoSo]

Marchisio behind the strikers?

Marchisio behind strikers or Bonucci between defenders, your choice.

I'd rather get a win on one of those Madrid matches and draw with Galatasaray. That would be enough.

I'm excited that Conte is finally trying something new and it seems that he as well sees formation as a main problem for our recent slump. And no I'm not excited to see Bonucci in a four men back line, just like that I believe Marchisio and Pogba should switch places, but all in due time.

Well that's some progress from Conte! At last!

If I were you I wouldn't worry about Marchisio as treq. Bigger problem lies in defense: Bonucci. IMO much more solid it would have been like this:

Caceres - Barzagli - Chiellini - Peluso/Ogbonna​

Good thing there's some chance Caceres will start as well as Llorente. Some presence upfront with Tevez + treq should allow us to be more dangerous. I hoped for a more winger-based formation but I won't complain if we start like this. Finally there's the idea of 4 man backline which allows Conte to use one more man further up the pitch.

 

[JuveJay]

I'll believe an orthodox 4-3-1-2 when I see it, we'll be pressed back to a usual back five, just gives us slight flexibility (and weakness) on the counter attacks of both teams.

I can only agree on that one.

So, do you think we'll actually use such a formation, or will it just be these players in some sort of 3-5-2?

 

[Luca]

I am pleased that we may change formation. Though am I the only one that finds the media second guessing our every tactical change disconcerting?

Peluso, Caceres, Licht, Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli and Ogbonna....great defensive depth for a back 4
