Dybala roamed mostly vertically and towards the right in the 3511 vs Bologna. CR7 roamed mostly horizontally, between the lines and towards the left in a confused state (always looks that way when he plays CF instead of LWF). The two B2B pushed up and positioned themselves between the CB and the FB.

You obviously can't do that with two B2Bs in a 4231 because you don't have enough of them. You don't have an extra CB covering either and neither can either one of the FBs play a more conservative FB role like Evra...or Asamoah in some games.

And we defend in a 442 shape when we play 433 also btw.



Funny seeing some people wanting us play 352 now. Always such change in opinions re formation, players, everything after every single game based on that one game. You're humans with prefrontal cortex, not goldfish with 9 sec memory or excitable puppies.

433 will and should remain the main formation. 4231 will be used when we need to attack and 352 when we need to defend or when there are injuries/need for rest like vs Bologna.

The way 352 (3511) was used against Bologna was nice (but it didn't look good just bc of that, it was also the faster pace and a more balanced team (CR7, MM, Dyb in front 3 doesn't work), both of which we missed vs Frosinone). Took away all reference points after the Frosinone game. But Max has to come up with diff movements with the other formations for parked buses.

I don't know if he's talking about traditional 9 or F9. The two are completely different.

Obviously Dybala isn't a classic CF type player.

He was great as a F9 at Palermo. And in that role you roam, drop, create, and attack the box at the end of plays. It's not the more stationary role that gives reference points like traditional 9 role. So, I don't get why Dybala can't play F9.

I guess the theory is that at Palermo he played as a counter attacking 9 which is very different to the sort of back to the goal 9 you play at Juve

    Dybala might score even 3 today, but heck, I think we should sell him if it's possible to get a decent price -- which I highly doubt.

    We're using like 20% out of Dybala. He's not good enough to play as a winger and Berna should be on that spot. He's not good enough to be a striker either. IMO he's best when he's behind a striker, but even on that position he's not impressive enough to rely on him to carry us in Europe.

    He just doesn't fit here.

    Decent game.

    He relieved a lot of pressure early on but getting the ball in space then winning a free-kick. Started the second half really well and had a superb run before the second goal.

    Berna behind Dybala and Ronaldo would be great to watch. If Dybala is in form. Still, it's a crime we have to bench Costa.

    Still, I don't think Dybala suits our game, especially now when we have Ronaldo in the team.
