He defenitely shouldn't play regista again if we can help it.

But where should he play? Because I sure don't see it yet.

He needs cover, especially as regista. Ideally a fully fit Asamoah could provide that, but it's not the case yet.

That was not the problem at all

What was the problem then? Our midfield got stomped under pressure.

That's exactly it. It's also early days his still needs to adjust tactically to the way we play. I often saw that when Pjanic and asamoah were like less than a meter away when in posession a number of times.

Pjanic should have played higher, Lemina or Hernanes should have played holding cm.

Pjanic was too deep which caused dybala to drop very deep, casing mandzukic to be isolated, cause our wingbacks played rather low at the same time

Could you imagine a midfield of Pjanic - Hernanes - Khedira?

I prefer not to

Would have played better

Behind the strikers, probably.

Not sure he has the legs for lmc either.

Who knows. But I doubt it.

Behind the strikers does seem like it would be a better fit.

Shame we don't play with those types of formations.

Lemina behind pjanic behind dybala was absolutely amazing. Its about replacing lemina, whom allegri wanted to rotate

4 man mid AM 3 man mid LCM, or in Khedira absence RCM. He is a creative CM who needs to focus on attacking, not standing around trying to orchestrate from deep where he lacks the positioning and all seeing vision for, he is more about key individual moments with the ball in higher positions.

I agree with this, 4-3-1-2 with Pjanic behind Dybala and Higuain would make a massive difference. Hopefully when Marchisio is back, Lemina can play BtB where he is much better.

Pjanic was terrible too today. What saves him is Asamoah being so inept to take all attention.

People forget this, but Pjanic had a whole string of absolutely horrible games for Roma last season (and when they played Napoli for 2nd place, he was the worst player on the pitch, by far). I know, it's Roma, but Nainggolan for example was still very consistent. All in all I wouldn't rely too much on Pjanic tbh. He's more like the icing on the cake kind of player.

He shouldn't play regista anymore, he is wasted there. I would play him on the right side with Dani Alves and Dybala so we they can play their fast football there.

Give him Pogba's free role.

We just need Marchisio back.

Pjanic - Marchisio - Khedira

 

[Hydde]

Play Pjanic as Treq and put 3 defensive dudes behind him. Asamoah sergio...Lemina and Khedira. Thats the only way it will work because otherwise we will be stomped.

Pjanic is no Pogba and he cant do the defensive part of Pog´s game. Also it seems that in this current Juve setup, he tends to dissapear from the play. We need to force him to be involved in everything regarding our attack and see how he fares. He needs to be attacking and passing the ball to our forwards since we know he has that ability.

The 3 guys behind him should do their utmost to break plays, keep things tight and send the ball to pjanic or our wings ASAP.

Lets try this until Marchi return and we have more felxibility to try things

Or have Marchisio and Khedira sit in the middle. Restrict Khedira's offensive freedom to concentrate more on the defensive work and use Pjanić in a free role. It all comes down to tactics and instructions.

We dont have the athleticism and agility having lost Pogba and Vidal, two guys who can get forward at will and at the same time swiftly track back to defend so we make some small adjustments in tactics.

The 3-4-1-2 that Igor suggested could be a good solution.

 

[PedroFlu]

I also dont like to see Pjanic as a regista.

But honestly, Allegri had no other option this time.

Everybody knew Inter was going to put immense pressure on guys. Lemina showed problems in his first touch and passing and much easier games. Playing Lemina as a DM this game could have been a nightmare.

And Asamoah as a DM would be a joke.

So yes, he didnt have a choice IMO. He was wrong only playing Asamoah over Lemina.

Until Marchisio comes back, that's our situation. Lemina can play as a DM in home games or against team that dont pressure much. But in games like Inter, he would have been a liability at that position. Should have started as a CM.
