Ferrara tends to play the wrong people in the wrong formations, yes.

I still can't believe he let Ale struggle the whole first half against Bordeaux.

well the good thing is he learns fast too, so there's reason for optimism

is it unthinkable to try out a 4-1-2-1-2 formation? We really haven't been getting much out of Melo

---------Del Piero---------Amauri

--------------------Diego

----Giovinco------------------Camoranesi

-------------------Sissoko

--Grosso----------------------------Caceres

-----------Chiellini-------Caceres

-------------------Buffon

this may be a bit unbalanced (like the milan approach !!)


or why not think outside the box.... with a 3-5-2

-------Del Piero----------------Amauri

--------------------Diego

--Giovinco-------------------------Camoranesi

------------Poulsen-----Sissoko

-----Chiellini---Cannavaro---Legrotaglie

-------------------Buffon

with strikers like Amauri, Trez or IQ who don't really create their own chances, they depend on service from others. One thing that has been lacking is decent quality crossing...and playing with a 4-3-1-2 or 4-2-3-1, a lot of width have to come from the full backs who in my opinion are sub par. Why not do away with the full backs for a solid back 3 and try to get some width from the the midfield. Camo is best as a winger and Gio does it good to as we saw last year as Neddy's understudy. Ale is best when he plays as a support striker and imo Poulsen has played better than Melo this season. this may sound crazy but it just might work

the 2nd formation looks abostively badass

dude this isn't Pro Evo where you go to Formation and just put everyone wherever you like...you have to teach them how to play the systems as well

Oh right.. there was me wondering why Del Piero as a winger didn't work yesterday, when it's really successful for me in FIFA.

Thanks for the heads up Ahmed.

 

[giovanotti]

Ha ha ha Pro Evo,this was agood one.

perhaps you were playing the wrong game? dunno if it works in FIFA

DP is not an attacking mid, playing him there is lunacy.

Except in FIFA10 where he fits there quite nicely...

 

[giovanotti]

Lots of pressure on Poulsen and Sissoko and only three defenders behind them.

Awful.

Than let's try this one:

----------------Immobile (but going back)------------

---------De Ceglie---Marchisio---Poulsen-------------
------------------Sissoko-----Marrone------------------

Grosso------Chiella---------Canna---------Grygera

------------------------Buffon----------------------------

Not a big pressure on the back line.

 

[X Æ A-12]

I will commit suicide if that becomes our starting eleven

 

[giovanotti]

I will commit suicide if that becomes our starting eleven

Indeed.

 

[giovanotti]

So you want three attacking mids, all of whom sort of play the same role, two defensive mids (one being Poulsen FFS) and only three defenders?

No no mate ,that was a joke.

that is exactly the point of my post.... the 3-5-2 allows every one to play in their preferred / accustomed roles with the possible exception of giovinco. I think the 3-5-2 would gel easily

 

[X Æ A-12]

No offense but I think the 3-5-2 right now is a shit idea, screw Diego, the 4-4-2 looks mighty good right now. If Diego must play then a 4-4-1-1.
I hate this formation but we need stability right now, and we need it bad.

 

[ggnoree]

I agree with the 4-4-2 but don't dare to mention it in the match thread because you will be laughed at Anyway my suggestion for 4-4-2 was this

Buffon
Cáceres - Canna - Chiellini - Grosso
Camo - Sissoko - Poulsen - Marchisio/Diego/Someone
Del Piero - Giovinco

 

[blondu]

whoever criticised del piero for the bordeaux match is a moron..our greatest chance came from him, but some people here can't see past their hate.

 

[Ahmed]

you would also be a moron to not see that he was not ready for the full 90 mins

 

[GordoDeCentral]

neither is a moron, one is a realist the other is a fanboy

 

[Azzurri7]

you would also be a moron to not see that he was not ready for the full 90 mins

Had he played in his neutral position I think he would have looked more than ready for 90min IMO.
