The fact that we need a proper offensive midfielder is out of the question. The problem is even if we get one he will be used out of position. Capello will never play with a formation that sees a player playing being the forwards (aka nedved during the Lippi years). During 2002 season Nedved managed to score 13 goals. Now nedved is barely scoring.. Hell, neddy is barely shooting.
Look at any attack we make, if the deffense manage to cut the ball from lets say ibra there is no one to back him up. Vieira and Emerson are way too behind.
The reason that I said lets bring back Maresca is that with Capello's current tachtics Maresca will be able to play as a centre midfilder who goes offensively durng the attack.
During my school years, we once had a soccer coach who used to be coach of one of the biggest clubs here. He always used to say, if you don't shoot on goal, if you don't try, you won't score. The fact that there are shots going towards the goal makes the opponement beware.
When Capello came to Juve the number of shots Juve shoots a game went down alot.
Our strikers are terrific, they don't get supplies from the midfield yet they can manage to score alot. If we had someone like Aimar, Kaka..etc playing as central offensive midfielder we would be able to finish each game with 4 or 5 goals scored.
Zlatan is off form, so what??? He ain't gettin any help from the midfield to help him move better. Each player is trying by himself. Thats why we are not scoring lately. When Del Piero is on the field look where does he stand? He goes really back to try to build up the game. Something Vieira should be doing.
