That's for sure. It has been a looooonnnnggggg time since we have seen them play together I feel. It's time for Melo to step his game up and start protecting our backline and goalie. Same goes for Sissoko in job responsibility.
The only thing that worries me is their passing
Their passing is always quite the problem, though Melo can be a decent passer. I simply don't understand where these brainfarts keep coming from.
Thing is though, those 2 will have alot more options to play the ball forward, since there's players next to Diego. So I guess they should be able to do their job and instantly giving the ball to a player in the '3'. When there's a 3 man midfield they have to do more of the thinking creativity wise, because they constantly have to find Diego, who's all by himself.
This formation might be a bit more daring, but at the same time more suitable for our players available if you ask me.
With that 4-4-1-1 Inter will just take Diego out of the game and we all know how much Amauri offers when it comes to creativity.. We'll be stuck in a midfield where people like De Ceglie and Sissoko have to come up with ideas.
It might be the most solid one when it comes to defending, but we won't even get near their goal.
