Most of the top teams have players who can move quickly with and without the ball. Its essential to have these players in the modern, fast moving game. We play one player, perhaps two now, who are capable of moving quickly with and without the ball. Candreva and a heavily fatigued Diego.
Adding in Camo and Gio to that, fuck it, makes our offence capable of moving like water rather than oil. Amauri does make runs, but Trez and Dp are very static. We need to be more fluid.
If we are definitely not going to to try the 442, then for fucks sake, lets give the 4-3-2-1 or 4-2-3-1 formation another chance. This way we can still play our muscle men...and also include moe pace and vision in the final third.
Melo, Momo/marchiso
Camo/Rossi Diego Gio/Iago
Trez/Iaqu/Amauri
2-3-1
If the midfield in our present 4-3-1-2 is too static, we end up wasting a striker role, because he never gets the ball. So it is the same as playing 4-3-1-1.
