We had our best midfield performance defensively when Melo and Sissoko were the two in the 4-2-3-1. Nothing went through them.

that midfield was awesome, even the 3 behind the strikers were playing well
There is nothing wrong with Melo, he is a solid player with his own ability. The problem is Ferrara, he is in problem and he is expecting from everyone to play like Zidane.
If we put so much pressure on Melo and Diego then they will not be able to play their best play. They are from Brazil, let them enjoy football... Then you will see. Give them the freedom.
I am so happy that Messi is not at Juve, because he will not be able to play the way he does in Barca, all because we have to play like machine.

for once, my dear Teeth, we are in total agreement...Whilst Sissoko is no Silva, he certainly allows Melo to show Why we bought him, and why he is a first team player for arguably the best national team in the world game.
That formation brings the best out of what we have. Its a crying shame that Momo and Camo are both absent for the near future, but we can easily deploy Marchisio in the Momo role, and if we are to re-adopt the 4-2-3-1 formation which has allowed us to look something like our best, then we need the third player for the 3. Diego and Giovinco are fine, but who completes the trio??? I hope and expect us to sign somebody for the role, ledesma, maybe Pandev...and also, if i am allowing myself to dream even more heartily, then we bring back Iago who can cover ALL 3 positions of that 3.
Either way, if we have learned anything this season, it is that Melo and Diego perform best in he 4-2-3-1.

I don't agree about gettin Ledesma, but the rest is basically how I feel about this whole situation. That formation seems to get the best out of most of our players, except our Capitano. Getting one of our youngsters to give that 3rd spot in the '3' a go would be great, but we probably won't I'm afraid.
I just want to see the 4-2-3-1 again, to see if it can again make a difference.

Felipe Melo: 'I'll show Juve!'
Sunday 3 January, 2010
Felipe Melo has silenced his critics and assured “I haven’t the slightest intention of leaving Juventus.”
The Brazilian was largely blamed for the recent poor form in Turin and Champions League exit, widely considered the biggest flop of the summer transfer market at £20m.
“I never thought for one second about how much the club spent for me, but after this not terribly positive period I really want to prove they didn’t make a mistake in paying Fiorentina that sum.
“I was just tired and needed rest, but now I am fired up again and raring to go,” he told La Stampa newspaper.
“I haven’t the slightest intention of leaving Juventus.”
He could be aided by a change in tactics, as Ciro Ferrara used the 4-4-2 in a 2-2 friendly draw with Al-Ittihad this week.
The Coach experimented with the same system in training this morning, so it seems 2010 will at least temporarily shelve the diamond midfield.
It remains to be seen how another summer signing, trequartista Diego, will fit into the side.

That's so depressing, but I think when he finally get himself together he won't have any drop in form again cause obviously this isn't a fitness issue as once he plays for Brazil (even during the time he was under-performing for Juve) he returns to that beast who would kill any team.
I just hope Im right for the sake of this team.
