Allegri ponders Juve formation change
By Football Italia staff

It is reported that Juventus boss Max Allegri is considering a return to lining up with a three-man defence.

The Old Lady altered their tried and trusted 3-5-2 formation during the course of last season, opting in favour of a 4-2-3-1 as they chased success in the Champions League.

However, with a closer Serie A title race appearing more likely than in previous years, Tuttosport claim that the Juve Head Coach wants to improve his side’s defensive solidity.

As such, it is claimed that the former Milan tactician is keen to experiment with Benedikt Howedes alongside Daniele Rugani and Giorgio Chiellini in a new-look three-man backline.

According to the Italian daily, however, Juventus will not be reverting completely to the 3-5-2shape introduced so successfully by Antonio Conte and continued initially under Allegri.

Instead, the Serie A champions are likely to field a 3-4-3, with Paulo Dybala, Gonzalo Higuain and Mario Mandzukic leading the line up front.

Yeah it will be 3-4-2-1, technically speaking it will be like our 4-2-3-1 with the right players, and I dont mind it due to our lack of RB options.


Gigi

Höwedes - Rugani - Chiellini

Cuadrado - Pjanic, Matuidi - Sandro

Dybala - Mandzukic


Higauin​



Is very close to a:


Gigi

Höwedes - Rugani, Chiellini, Sandro

Pjanic - Matuidi

Cuadrado - Dybala - Mandzukic

Higauin​


Its basically the same role for most players, main thing that changes is Chiellini will have the freedom to move further up with the ball then usual I'm guessing. The roles for the others should stay fairly similar most likely (for example Mandzu goes central and leaves whole left to Sandro anyways). Höwedes was never likely to join the attack so RCB or RB is not too different for his tasks. Dybala will still operate in the channels (and get lost...), ocassionally drift wide.



The shape or functionality of the above only changes drastically if Cuadrado is not available btw, you cannot play Licht instead of him, then it essentially becomes broken system with 5 defenders, then fluid or mobile as it could be.


Main difference will be there will be NO overlapping behind Cuadrado, that right side CB will stay put, or just receive passes for safety.

fuck the 3-4-3 khedira would get gang raped in the centre of midfield and putting dybala out wide would not suit his strengths
Putting Dybala at CAM does not suit his strengths

I'm down to try against weak opposition :D

Would about Douglas Costa though? Will he not be playing due to lack of workrate?
