Let's be positive here, we're still top of the table and the league is in our hands if we want it. We're solid defensively but attack is the problem.
I say we play a 4-3-1-2 with Ramsey or Bernard behind Dybala and Ronaldo. We're shit on the wings so let's become more narrow, Cuadrado and emergency LB will get enough possession to provide crosses.
Midfield of Bentancur, Pjanic and Matuidi with the 'playmaker' getting back to defend. Ramsey is good and the role would suit him as he has scoring ability. Bernard runs hard, as long as he doesn't have to do long range passes he can be useful.
We played a lot of matches 4312, to narrow and Sarri doesn’t likes to use a lot of crosses. Mihajlovic is a smart guy and especially with 4312 we’re very predictable.
The Coppa final was not the right time for experiments, so I understand that Sarri didn’t tried it, but the next match we should try Pjanic as mezzala.
Just go ahead with CR7, Dybala and Costa. Behind them Matuidi, Bentancur and Pjanic.
It’s not only the formation, but the idea of how to play the game. We should not allow to build a wall together with Bologna around their penalty area. It’s our biggest threat. I don’t want to see Bonucci and De Ligt holding their line so high that they’re almost midfielders. In case we get in situations like that we usually have a lot of problems creating and scoring. It would be better to drop back a bit, allowing Bologna to press us and create some space. This has been our main problem the last 2 games. We should be way more effective in the first 5 to 10 seconds when we win the ball around the midfield line.
