The change has finally come and it worked well. We looked much more balanced and players seem to have adapted very well to it. The goals conceded were from set pieces yet again where we seem to crumble..how im not sure considering we have some very tall CBs who should be doing a better job.

But overall the change brought us the best football we have played all season, well in my opinion anyway. And if I look back at last season, playing 4 at the back against Real we again looked a lot better, even if we didn't get a win from either game. Again more brain farts from certain defenders rather than lack of organization was the reason for us not getting the positive results we needed.

With more defenders returning, will he opt again for a back 3? That is the question. I really hope not, I really liked what I saw from the team. And allegri himself pointed out several advantages related to playing this formation after the game. That extra player forward in the final third helped tevez and morata/llorente. The midfield worked hard and well and allowed pirlo to return to his best. And to me in general play our defense looked more solid in a back 4.

Let's see what happens from now on.

Not only that, but some players even commented on the positive aspects of the new plan. Pirlo and llorente were among them.

If we go backwards to 352 after this positive result.. it will be sad

True. These players are not stupid, they know what is working and what is not working. I think it is good if they speak out more, not in a negative way but give constructive criticism in the media without coming across as being against Allegri.

We barely scrape a win against olympiakos on our home turf and thats a sign of improvement? I say thats a sign of Pirlo not the formation.
