Who will backup Iturbe and is Tevez really to be deployed at LW?
Looks a bit too unbalanced IMO. Does Iturbe backtrack (I have only seen him play once so I do not know)? Tevez works hard but I can't imagine him backtrack and put offensive pressure. Maybe I am being too picky. Against weaker opponents it looks like a formidable team but how about the big games?

Yes he does quite a lot. I think that was one of the main reasons Conte wanted him.

I think Asamoah will start over Evra too. Llorente will definitely start over Morata in the beginning, whoever is in better form will start after.

Morata as startet from the beginning? He must prove himself to bench Llorente.
Agreed..

Giovinco is better on the left but he can play on the right. Marchisio as well. Maybe Coman too?

And yes Tevez will play LW in a 4-3-3…where did you think he'd play?
I'd never want to see Marchisio on the LW. He played there under Del Neri and it was horrible. We need pacy flanks. Claudio to be first backup to any of our three midfielders.

There's no way Tevez will play as a LW, Zach wouldn't allow that.
Not sure if joking. I just don't think Carlitos would agree to play on the wing. I expect the 433 to be with almost 4312 -ish, playing Tevez almost as a CF.

From what i've seen of Iturbe, he does look like a player with immense energy, tracking back rather often even if he played as a striker for Verona. Toni very static with Iturbe picking up the loose balls and creating counter attack chances.

That's worse than our current line-up.
I disagree. We cut down a defender and add an attacker. There's no way we'll become a worse team by going more forward. If anything you could argue Evra is a bad signing (lacking defensively) but having watched Asamoah at LB for Ghana at the WC id much rather we play a post world class LB instead of a liability. Bonucci is missing, Iturbe is added. It's the way forward.

I think Asamoah will start over Evra too. Llorente will definitely start over Morata in the beginning, whoever is in better form will start after.
having watching him for Ghana in the WC, i must admit I more or less only consider Asamoah a LWB and not a LB. Ideally Asamoah should be played in central midfield. Vice-Pogba..
