line-up should be (but will not as long as Ruinieri is coach)
gigi
moli legro melberg gygera
sissoko marchisio
giovinco del piero camo
Amauri
This formation protects the back four (which suck ass). Also, with Sissoko and Marchisio/Poulsen in a deeper position they will not have to dictate the flow of the game. The offense will no longer be impotent because our midfield cannot pass the ball. All Sissoko and Marchisio have to worry about is defending and make a simple pass to DP, Camo, or Gio. This line-up allows for the flow to be dictated by DP. He will serve as the link between the 2 DMs and the strikers/wings. I have noticed that DP has dropped really deep into the midfield the last several games just to collect the ball. This line-up will allow for more space in the offensive third of the field for him to operate. Also, with this formation, we do not need moli and gygera to overlap and get up the field. This is good b/c neither one of them can consistently play a dangerous crossing ball. Let Camo and Gio beat their markers and serve balls to Amauri.
I do not want to hear that this is too aggressive of a formation or we do not have the players for it. We do not have the players to play a 442 either, yet Ruinieri stll insist on playing that system. Also, our 442 system has allowed too many goals. If we are going to give up 3 goals a game then we need to score 4 (I'm a math major) to win the game. The 442 will not provide enough opportunities to do that.
Ruinieri is too scared to truly "tinker" with the formation to best fit our personnel. His idea of tinkering means switching the sides marchionni and Nedved start on
Forza Juve . . . 2-0 (DP & Camo)
