good part: dybala starting.
meh part: cancelo and berna didn't convince max.

btw i'd be surprised if we'd start against atleti with 2 proper wingers (berna and costa). i don't expect max to take too much risks, at least not from the very start of the return leg. cancelo might well play as a "defensive winger" á la dani alves on the right side, with mandzukic and ronaldo swapping places on the left. :boh:

I think it could be Ronaldo and Berna on the wings (not both him and Costa), Mandzukic forward and Dybala trequartista

Playing with 3 midfielders adds nothing when their caliber is not up to standard, I'd rather have two that does the job and have most of our deciding forwards factor come into play

Exactly what I wanted. According GdS Allegri will try a 4231 with Dybala as trequartista

Would be happy to see this, but surely we should have been using that formation in the games since the first leg to get used to it.

Not a fan of Cancelo on the RW. He seems to play far better from RB when the game is in front of him.

Ronaldo can't play LM. You still need whoever plays there to jog back and hold the shape. More likely Max would play Mario there.

Maybe current incarnation of Ronaldo can’t but he had some of his best seasons in a Madrid shirt on the left of a 4-2-3-1 formation. It really depends on the system. But generally I agree, it probably wouldn’t work.
