Krasic on the left....If he could always cut in it would work but he is so weak with his left.

that had nothing to do with Pirlo - the whole team was already on the way down, without motivation ... that same season even average Serie A teams dominated Milan resulting in Milan not making even the CL.
This being said, I agree that Pirlo is unlikely to be suitable for a 2 men midfield ... my guess, however, is that Conte will quickly realize that this is not Serie B he is playing in and will adjust his tactics to a 3-men mid.
I don't think Juve have the players even for a 4-4-2, let alone 4-2-4 - you guys played a 4-4-2, on paper, under Lippi but on the left wing, you had players like Zidane first and then Nedved, who are really central attacking mids and not real wingers, so they would usually cut in and that provided equilibrium to the whole team. Even players like Di Livio and then Camo - the right wingers - were not typical wingers but could play a more "inner" midfield role. Most importantly, however, they both were fighters ... Juve, right now, simply does not have such players.
So, I think your best bet for a solid and equilibrated team is one playing with a 3-men mid.

That's pretty much close to almost any team playing 4-3-3. Honda is alright and obviously talented but smells a lot like Nakata. Hasn't really done anything to excite me the few times I've seen him (mainly world cup games). These are of course too few games to make a fair judgement but it's still my opinion until I've seen him again and he's proved me wrong.
