If Pjaca makes it difficult for Allegri to bench him, it throws up some interesting tactical ramifications. Remember that Pjaca's preffered position is attacking left but he is good with both feet and has played behind the strikers before. As a trequartista he could still drift wide to the left on occasions. In such a system, the type of midfielders we have behind him are more industrious and less fancy (I am talking about Pogba here).
So something like this could work well (in Marchisio's absence)
Khedira----Pjanic-----Asamoah
--------------Pjaca---------------
-------Dybala-----Higuain-------
Pjanic either plays as a registra OR the above could revert to a sort of 4231 with Khedira or Lemina partnering Asamoah and have Pjanic playing in the middle of the 3 behind Higuain.
Indeed, it may be hard to see how Pjaca would fit if we continued to go with a back 3 unless we played a kind of 3412 with Pjaca behind the strikers. He would be needed to do a bit of defensive work in order to hold that position.

In the end, you play to your strengths. The reason we always played a back 3 was because of BBC and now having Alves means you would rather him have more of a free role on that right flank. However, if we are lacking quality in the CM area due to injuries or whatever, the idea of using a 4231 should not be ignored. Think Dybala-Pjanic-Pjaca behind Higuain.
yess yesss gimme more AM Pjaca.
Our midfield will be complete when we recover marchisio and mandragora. Then we will be able to play with a lot of variatons:
Lemina/Ked-Cheese-Asamoah
---------Pjaca-------------
or
Lemina/Ked-pjanic-Asamoah
---------Pjaca-------------
or
Lemina/Ked-Cheese-Pjanic
---------Pjaca------------
or
Lemina/Ked-Cheese-Asamoah
---------Pjanic------------
Allegri will have to "essay and error" here to see the best mix up when we play 4312..but im pretty sure one of those combs will gel.
i dont know if anyone mentioned before, in west ham game the commentator mentioned that pjaca mother is a judo champion and his father is a wrestler!
its true.
You are welcome, that was probably the best thing I have done for the club. I am extremely pissed off though that not one from the management or the players said a word of thanks.
what i missed?.
