Could we please switch to a 4 man backline in this match. We need the stability it provides. Sub Pirlo off immediately. His only value is his presence on the ball and passing, and he's maybe had a dozen touches thus far and most of them poor...
We're playing an odd counterattack style. It doesn't really suit us with Pirlo in the side, as he's too defensively poor...
Why not switch to a 4-3-3. Gio is in good form (I can't believe i'm saying this). Move Asa to mid, take off Pirlo. Put Gio on the left, Tevez on the right...
