Defensive wingers have their uses.... for exmaple, when we are playing teams that want to take their game to our fields and impose themselves. IN those games, asa and licht are priceless because they can defend us from their dangerous wingers and go on the offense at the same time.

But this players are not wingers! they adapted to that role instructed by Conte, and it doesnt matter hwo good defensively they are... there will be always a time when their offensive prowess will keep us hand tied.

In games where we need to chase the game, or when peeps park the bus and have no intention to attack us...we need the ffensive wingers to open play and stretch formations... exploiting the wings with their great talent.

Im not asking for a roberto carlos. But i mean,, there must be SOMEONE capable of filling this role. It seems we will have find our own jewel, but it needs to be done.

Just for our tactical flexibility, this needs to be done.

ALso our current benchwarmers, Peluso is more of the same.... De Ceglie is a lost cause, and Isla just doesnt wanna show up.

Lol wird isnt it?.
At least Bonucci can fulfill his role of "attaking fullbacks" and do not harm us. But with Licht and Asa is more sensible.
Its simple. We arent madrid that just handpicks its ideal players for its formation(and forgets the defence tbh).

Our creativity has to come from Tevez and Pirlo. The linkup between midfield and forward comes from the offensive movement of the box to box mids (vidal, marchisio/pogba)

Our defensive wingers, lock down their flanks and push them all the way back to their own box. Licht's added value is the runs behind the defence. Asamoah's added value is his physical game on the wing, usually getting corners when attempting to pass the defender to the left, or lay off balls to the closest BtB mid when going to the right

This, is standard play.

When we come against shitty/bunkering opponents, we can replace a defensive winger for isla or peluso, sacrificing much in dommination, but gaining crossing. Another option is using pogba to assist the wingers for some good crosses (marchisio/vidal do this to), or using ogbonna and bonucci as playmaking centrebacks, pushing the rest forward, with the btb getting in more crossing positions

Very funny. :sergio:

You know what's also funny? The fact that you disappeared after he scored & only reappeared after he was on the bench again.
Indeed.

That says a lot about Jasi. Not even showed last week to congratulate the dude after the goal. A grateful Bilbao Fan it seems.

I expected more form you Jasi
