First of all, i think we need to scrap away with our 442. In this tactic, we r too depended on both winger, if we r still to stick with 442, we not only to replace nedved, we also need to replace the right winger as well. Camo is good, but he is getting to much injury lately, and he is getting old, so is usesless to contiune with 442 if we only replace the left and we dont' replace the right. and deigo will not be suitable to this 442, he will end up like another tiago.
I wish we can employ a more compact center mid tactic, like the 4312, in our squad we have good defesive mid and center mid, in the likes of marchisio, sissoko, tiago, poulsen (tiago was a flop because he doesn't suit the 442 , we simply was looking at the wrong man in the first place, i think is not tiago's fault, if he doens't fit into a 442 then why should we buy him, we need to ask our secco) these player can combine for a good 3 mid. we then can use the resource to buy a trequartistas like diego, and split up the playing of del pieor for giovinco(sorry DP i'm a big fan of you, i'm a fan of juve because of you, but he doesnt have the energy to perofrm wk in wk out, he should act in role like what giggs is doing now)
In this system we need to improve our side back as they need to come up to spread out the field when we attack.
Lastly we need another world class center bk to parnter chiellini.
From the game of bologna , we can see that giovinco was given a more all att instruction after the break when poulsen replace tiago, he doesn't need to come bk to help out the def with poulsen marchisio saliham was the 3 mid doing the dirty work, and we can see our team r totally different team. And in the chelsea's game we can see that the 3 mid works very well, and tiago was fantastic with his passing and vision.
lets look bk to our glory days going to the CL final 3 season consecutively. is been 10yrs, we last touch teh CL. Bk then we dont' have a team of 11 starter of world class player, we still winning everything with the like of torricelli, pessotto, iuliano, brinidelli, tacchinardi ,
lets face it , we dont' have the suitable players for 442 anymore, (before we have nedved and camo playing at top level and thats why we hire ranieri and he was able to play his favorite 442) if we r to win something next year our management got to start thinking if we r going to stick with our 442 and buy enuf play to suit the formation and ranieir or name another coach thats works better on a 4312 formation.
I have great respect for ranieri, he is a good coach, but his 442 can only win use trophy if we have world class wingers on both side. otherwise we will end up empty hand again. and thats why he never win major trophy because all the team he manage before doesnt' have world class winger. In chelsea, he only got zeden Grønkjær duff, in valencia he dump aimar in order to play his 442 , which he totally mess up and got fire after a year .
no more 442 plzzzzzz
