Actually, I agree with you. We should try to find a winning formula, play some formation more consistently and not keep experimenting before or during the matches (there's been many matches this season when we changed the formation 3 times during the match).
But I was talking strictly about this match against Bari.
You said "ENOUGH with this 4-2-3-1" formation and I found it strange because we didn't really use it too much.
But my main reason for choosing 4-2-3-1 for this match is the lack of movement we have. Without Sissoko things are becoming even worse regarding the mobility of our players, so that's why I'd add more mobility. That means Giovinco in this case. That means Marchisio and even the off form Diego, who at least runs his socks off.
Playing both Giovinco and Diego, and considering the fact that we're missing our main defensive power, means that we should play with 1 attacker. So call it a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-2-1, but I believe that we need more running, faster play and better off the ball movement, which unfortunately, none of Del Piero or Amauri provide currently. Since width is also something we lack lately, I'd rather choose the 4-2-3-1 (where Camo played his best matches) than 4-3-2-1.
Still, as I said many times, I'll still trust Ciro and hope that he watched Bari and he knows what's the best formation for the match against them.

Because he actually thinks before he makes a pass, not like Melo for example who can't keep is head up and gives it away.
I like Poulsens type of play. He is very inconspicuous but helps the team.
He's not Sissoko who tackles everyone and everything but he often wins the ball in a very unspectacular way with just standing in the right spot.
And he looks to the front to find someone who can get his ball and not to Buffon.
I so hate to see our midfield passing back to Buffon, but Poulsen waits a second and looks for someone who moves in the right way to make a pass.
He keeps our players moving because he doesn't make this static passes directly to a player. And that's what we don't do, moving without the ball.
