Its time to stop beeing an idiot.
A 3-5-2 requires marauding fullbacks, one longball cb, two cm's that make forward runs and are strong in the center so the regista can move more freely, and one technical forward and a reference point in the box.
Example
Barzagli, bonucci, chiellini
Alves, Lemina, Pjanic, Asamoah, Sandro
Dybala, Higuain
Thats an extremely strong team.
What did we start with ?
No bonucci : so no long balls, so pjanic is deep
Pereyra beeing dog$#@! as a cm and lemina beeing isolated to pjanic has a hard time moving up
asamoah on the wing and alves on the wing, aka alves is double marked and asamoah is not doing much, no width and nothing for pjanic to pass to
two static cm's, who dont get wide feed or central support.
Thats all basically. When we brought in Bonucci , two marauding fullbacks and dybala,while bringing asamoah to help lemina, the entire team changed and that had nothing to do with the formation
