Mario, Pjanic, Dybala, Higuain gung-ho attack....I mean, I guess that's what it feels like playing against Barcelona
FM Mode:
Target man: Mandzukic
Run with the ball: Cuadrado
Distribute to Defender: Buffon
Cross to penalty box: Licht & Cuadrado

I could go on. Max went balls to the wall today
Simeone is playing one of the most defensive and boring football in the world.He has one or two good seasons with Atletico but his defensive and only defensive and dirty playing approach to the game cost him CL trophy.
His playing philosophy he transferred to his players.Brutal-leg breaking tackles ,lying on the field forever and he will deploy 10 defenders if he could.His only value is that he is a good motivator.Nothing else.Alegri is way better in tactics than him.
And about Ancelloti.Probably you know that he was our coach tor you don't know?I think(not sure it was 1999 or 2000) Saying that he is Milan or Roma fan is a pure media bullshit.Lippi also coached Inter,so he is an Inter fan?Like Trapatoni who coached Inter and Milan also .
You remember Capello(one of my most hated coaches) declares in February that year, as a Roma coach before he joins us that summer,that from all the clubs he wouldn't ever coach only Juve in future and at the end in July ended as our coach ,bringing with him Emerson and Zebina.We won two titles with him,with Ibrahimovic also.
Simeone is no near to Ancelloti or Conte ,both tactically or as a motivator.Another league we are speaking.

Litterally the last coach to use against Simeone in this manner.

It's exactly like FM. Train Cuadrado for half a season to be DM and once he becomes "competent" throw him in there and give him specific instructions to attack
Mario, Pjanic, Dybala, Higuain....I mean, I guess that's what it feels like playing against Barcelona

Really ? Didnt knew that. Thought it was cause of his failure when he was a coach here
The 3-5-2 was too slow in posession when we have players like Cuadrado, Dybala, Alex Sandro and soon Pjaca. Even Dani Alves likes to play faster. And Higuain is beast of an attacker in everything he does, but playing back to goal really isn't going to draw the maximum out of him.
Somehow I knew the Fiorentina defeat was the one to wake us up, even if we lost to Milan and Genoa before, Viola really slammed it home.

Well with an "expert" like you nobody knows anything about football.Just you and your wrong ideas of football.Just continue with that .I don't give a shit or a second of attention but since you wrote some ,let's say with very soft wording,wrong theories I must reply.
1.How come Simeone to be the best coach the last 3-4 years? By your fantasy football? What did he won other than La liga?
2.Remind me, you Simeone fan, who beats Atletico ,year 2013-2014 in CL final? Anceloti with Real?That same Ancelloti.
3.Zidane beats Simeone's ass in his first year of coaching last year in CL final.As a rookie coach.Mighty Simeone.Or lost finals also counts?
So please stop posting arrogant bullshit posts about Simeone.Adore him as much as you want I don't rate much him so that's it.
I am not against him cause he is an Inter fan BUT BECAUSE HIS TEAM PLAYS ULTRA DEFENSIVE AND BORING FOOTBALL. Is it clear now for you or you need further re explanations why I don't want Simeone at Juve .Boring and non attractive football .Read again my post.He is playing the most boring ,ultra dirty,butcher tackles football so that's why I don't want him here.
Being a Inter fan is the most unimportant thing for me about him.
And how you know that Ancelloti "doesn't like us and don't see us as an option"???You are his manager?But this is not even a question here.
I am not a fan of Ancelloti and if you read my posts you will see that I said that he is out of our reach.The argument was who is a better coach than Simeone.I will always choose Ancellotii and Conte .Also I wrote that Alegri is a better coach than Simeone and he is, every day of the week,again ,every second of the week.
Read again the post before writing "expert" statements.It will help you.

The problem with the 3-5-2 is that when you neutralize Dybala there is no one to link the play forward (we used to have Pogba who was really good at this). There is also a lack of forward passing options if the B2B midfielders and/or wing-backs don't get forward enough, this leads to lot of back-passes when there are no options free further forward. With the 4-3-1-2 and today with the 4-2-3-1 our transitions from defense to attack has been much faster because there are more options in the forward positions. Also our approach isn't as rigid with these formations as it's with the 3-5-2. We saw some good short passing combos today and against Atalanta in the Coppa while with the 3-5-2 we've seen a lot of isolation football this season.
When the passing distances are longer and most of the passes are horizontal the defending team just needs to run from side to side and keep their shape. Today we mixed our passing enough to be unpredictable, short, long, fast, slow, we saw everything. I'm sure that with the right approach and the right players our 3-5-2 will work too but definitely been more impressed with our performances using different formations this season.

I love how the line up to day was seen as a ultra offensive FM formation. Every other top team in Europe playes with emphasis on attack week in and week out, but when we do it its mad scientist Max.
I hope we keep it up with the 4-4-1-1/ 4-2-3-1. Alves, AS, Marchisio and Pjaca instead of Licht, Asa, Khedira and Mandzu and we are golden.

The defensive work he puts in should automatically make him a starter over Pjaca. His defensive work is the reason we can play with that many attackers. Not to mention he is a great target man (see his assist today). Id love to see Pjaca play, but lets be honest here folks, no way is he gonna be ahead of any of Dybala, Mario or Higuain.
Buffon
Licht-Bonucci-Chiellini-Sandro
Marchisio-Pjanić
Cuadrado-Dybala-Mandzukic
Higuaín
Licht-Bonucci-Chiellini-Sandro
Marchisio-Pjanić
Cuadrado-Dybala-Mandzukic

This might be a bold formation but this might work. Mandzukic used at LW today reminded me of how Mourinho used Eto'o at LWB when Inter won their treble.
In games against better teams I'm pretty sure Allegri will take a more cautious approach though. But the above lineup would be great to use against scrub teams.

Agree with that.
Nah. They initially used 4-3-1-2 but once they signed Pandev, they switched to 4-2-3-1 with Eto'o and Pandev on the wings. Perhaps LWB is an exaggeration but you get what I mean... Eto'o was sacrificed to make the formation more balanced.
In the same vein, I don't have a problem with Mandzu starting games as long as he's used in a role like today. Both him and Cuadrado contributed immensely to our pressing game today and both protected their flank hence why the setup looked good.
