Hey... the players are exately the same that in the 4-4-2

Is just the position in the field who change and as long as Di Vaio and Camoranesi retourn, this mieldfield is even more protected. The only difference is that Di Vaio start from the wing and mouve to the frontside while the team is attakking... Camo situation do not change so mutch cause he goes up and down also in the 4-4-2.
4 the moment I'm not laughting, but maybe I will when you will tell me why this mieldfield is less protected. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
I'm curios to know wich reasons can come out
P.S.: Ah did you know that Inter is the second team after Juve in serie A and that this match (the Italian derby) is usually the one who decide the scudetto? Now you know...
Same players, but the task players are assigned are totally depending on the formation. Under 4-4-2 formation, Di Vaio will probably lead the due to his pace, and Camo and Nedved will play more orthodox position. The major benefit is that it kills off space for the opposition. Against Man U, if I remeber correctly, two of the goal came from their left hand side, and on the occasions they counter attacked they had similar number of attakers as our defenders. My argument is that if you play more orthodox 4-4-2. where by we have two proper full backs then we could have possibly gave them less space to damage us on the breaks. Inter team, is very good no doubt. The likes of Zanetti, Vieri, Recoba, Canna, Toldo, Emre, are world class and players like Cordova, Pasquale (though I am not convinced about his defensive abilitites), and Di Biagio are top professionals. The fact that I think we played well against Inter is that they are not a passing team, and they do not use their wings very well. This meant that they did not penetrate us down on the wings and secondly, they did not move the ball enough to expose us from lacking defenders. Defence is not all about winning the middle of park. It is important but it also involves denying time and space from opposition, and I think if we play teams like Real, Valencia, who either have good passing attack or good defensive team who can withstand our attack then some cracks will appear on the team. Beside, the Inter team we played on Sunday was very poor, and showed lack of heart and determination for me. And this result doesn't mean they are out of championship nor we will win the Scudetto. The margin between us, Inter and Milan are not so big right now, that one or two game does not decide the championship. It will be which team who can hold their nerve until May and play most consistently, that will win the Scudetto not the team that wins the "Derby of Italy" or Milan-Juve game or "Milan Derby". Last year we won the season, because we peaked at the right time, especially Alex.

, and won the the game we should have won. We had a poor record against quality teams last year, and yet still won the scudetto. This year, it seems to me, will be similar title race.
No doubt we were awesome on Sunday.

. Our passing was crispe, and I thought Di Vaio's movement was completely different from the game against Man U. Most importantly, players showed desire, character and determination.

My question, is that can we continue playing under this formation well throughout the season, and that is this formation suitable against certain teams whose style of playing may be a problem to us.
For a time being however, I am prepared to stick with this formation, since I think team will lack creativity. And we did play well on Sunday. But once we qualify for the knock out stages of CL, which is big doubt but I am sure we can do it, then I would favor more defensive and cautious formation..
