Every manager has his own point of view...
Playing 442 with maresca and another central midfielder means that u will not have a pure AM, and a weak defensive midfield..
Reason: Maresca doesnt have good defensive skills, this means that the other midfielder will have to face a tornado in the mid.
Without a pure AM, the offense will be weaker than when u have a pure AM, (Juve used to play without a pure AM 2 years ago when nedved came to juve), they had good offense but nothing compared to last season when nedved was the AM...
on this basis, Maresca should be accompanied with a good DM and a pure AM..
