This is shitty. Modern football tactics heavily depend on fast physical skill wingers and some very solid fullbacks. Our own formation is designed for this system of which we have no quality players for those positions.
Tell me about it.
People are getting excited about Motta, Lanza, not so much Pepsi, but they don't see how close to a disaster what we have now is.
Lanzafame can make a trick or two, but that's it. Motta knows nothing about defending, but is fine forward. Pepe can offer protection to an attacking fullback, and that's it. But even he sleeps in attack too often. De Ceglie gives nothing.
If we have Lanza in the first team, then we'll need someone who stays at the back behind him. If we have Pepe in the team then we'll need a very good fullback behind him. If we have Motta in the team, then he needs help in defense from the winger. If we have DC in the team, God help us.
2 of them in the same team is the maximum I'd allow. And by two I don't mean Lanza and Motta on the same side or Pepe and DC on the same side.
Actually, no. For a team that wants to win something, 2 of these 4 in the same team is bad. 1 of them maximum.
