It's old football. And with Del Neri we'll be playing classic 4-4-2 most likely.
I don't see us changing it at all and I see us doing bad in Europe with it.
4-2-3-1, 4-3-2-1 or 4-3-3 is the way to go. But Vargas for 20mln euros? Why?
We tried new football this season and got raped every week. No formation is bad if you have the players to suit it.
Vargas, a typical winger is not a bad choice..20 mill?? that may be too much, but at least we have a coach with a plan and is targeting what he needs.
I agree. I think you should play the formation that suits the players best, and the adjust to the competition. Take a look at Bayern in CL this season, they got to the final with a 442, Inter plays 4231/433 with very allround wingers and attackers, that play the opposition.
This year our formation screamed 4231 since our full backs failed in every possible way and out midfield was too defensive minded. It is still crazy that none of your managers saw that. I guess their problem was, when things go bad, go defensively. If we buy the right ppl 442 can be very fine, what I would like us to do is to buy players who are tactically aware, and puts in a lot of effort. If there is anything we should learn from Inter, this season, it is that all players should be able and willing to play where it is needed, and willing to drop back.
If we have a plan, and I think we have, and Del Neri and Marrotta are probably communicating, then I think we on track. I also think that Vargas fits the characteristics of a modern player very well. Technically sound, high work rate and stamina and versatile. I'd welcome him.
