Don't have the MF for a 4-3-1-2

Yes we do. Once everyone is fit, absolutely.

Khedira----Marchisio-----Asamoah

---------------Pjanic----------------

Or.....

Khedira-----Marchisio-----Pjanic

---------------Pjaca---------------

However, I still expect our default formation to be 3-5-2

Not necessary. Pjanic could play treq, and I think Max is gonna develop Pjaca as treq, kid has the tools.

why not 4-3-2-1 with Pjaca and Dybala behind Higuain?!?

Nah it's the same as 4-3-1-2, Dybala will always play a little bit deeper than Higuain, because Higgy is a pure striker.
On paper you will see a 4-3-1-2 but actually it is a sort of 4-3-2-1 as you said. Formations don't mind, what matters is the movement of the players.

It's all pretty much the same thing, Dybala drops really deep and plays very wide. But he is a goalscorer, so no point to play him really deep.

That's right. If you watch closely, that is where Dybala plays. He plays inside right support striker if you will. You will also notice from last season, Pogba often played on the left in advanced positions. If Pjaca is in the team, that is where he would be. Something like this.....

--------------------Buffon----------------

------------Bonucci----Chiellini-----Evra

Alves---------------Pjanic----------------
-------Khedira---------------Asamoah---

-----------------------------Pjaca---------
---------Dybala---------------------------

--------------------Higuain---------------

Firstly, in a back 4, I highly doubt Allegri would have Alves AND Sandro as the full backs. He was reluctant to have 2 attacking wingbacks last season let alone 2 attacking full backs this season. So if Sandro starts on the left, Lich starts on the right.

Secondly, Alves is weaker compared to Lich defensively but offers a lot more offensively. Therefore in a back 4, he would be given more licence to push forward which means Khedira or whoever player RCM has to do a lot more covering. Alves and Dybala will be a threat as Alves provides right footed crosses while Dybala cuts inside for shots.

On the left side, in the above case it would be Evra and Asa sharing responsibility for left footed crosses with Pjaca cutting inside for the right footed shots.

The balance is all there.

reposting here cause not everyone visits Pogbatelli thread

Paul Pogba left the Turin club for a world record fee this summer, and Allegri was asked about the Frenchman’s departure.

“We didn’t speak, because among other things he was in America until the day before he went to Manchester. We had a very good relationship, like I do with all the players.

“Maybe he was still hurting because he lost to me in a challenge at football and basketball, so it was for that reason he decided to leave Juventus.”

never thought i will love Max so much

Max

Love, love, LOVE the way he handles the media and his interviews. So calm and cool. Putting that little mercenary, dabbing phaggot down like he doesn't even exist. I love it.

Do you say goodbye to every person from the hotel staff once your holidays are over?

Disrespectful piece of shit.Like we kicked him out.Just shows the level of home learned well manners.

 

[Cerval]

Start Alex Sandro pls

 

[Amer]

I believe 352 will still be his main formation because most of our players are best suited for it.

If Cuadrado comes we could be looking at that 433/442 combo of last year, or just 433 with Pjaca on the left.

As for 4312, don't think we have enough depth to play that formation in the long run.

 

[Cerval]

He's too conservative at times

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

Happy we won but Allegri was almost flop of the match for us.

Weird substitutions (Higuain notwithstanding obviously) and a terrible decision to have us drop so deep against such an inferior side. Anybody can kill a 1 goal lead with a bit of luck.
