That's such a shocking formation. How hard is it to use 2 holding mids behind a central Pjanic?

Pjanic
Rincon-Khedira​

Hernanes is not a regista. Pjanic is not a LCM. Mandzukic is not a SS. Dybala is not a CAM.

We have to basically hope Lazio sets up negatively from the start because they see our front 3, and they will concede possession and eventually leak a goal. Otherwise, if they try to bring the match to us we will likely be overwhelmed.

What happens if we lose again, I mean besides the meltdown around here.

Sturaro is suspended (thankfully). Marchisio is out (a huge loss given how limited our midfield already is), and the only concern is Hernanes starting. If Hernanes starts, Lazio will have a field day with our midfield, out-muscling, outrunning, and outgunning them. Khedira, Hernanes, and Pjanic is a midfield nightmares are made of; no energy, lack of pace, and minimal physicality.

I won't be surprised if we lose this (or get a draw). Two back to back losses and being knocked off our perch might urge the management to do something about that disgusting and abysmal midfield.
