433 looks like the solution for a better defense (Chiellini's and Benatia's brainfarts permitting, imo it was Chiellini's fault also the ball Roma hit the post earlier).

But without Dybala we rely too much on Pjanic for criativity.

If Mario as a LW was a need for the 2 men midfield work, what's the reason now? Of course he still is important, but with 3 mids it's important that the wingers are as offensive as possible.

At the same time, I don't think Dybala can play as a winger or inside forward. It's AMC or CF for him.

In other words, still need better tuning on the offensive end. The way it is we may fight for the scudetto, but will be out of CL in no time.

    To me, it looks very solid to grind out wins against attacking CL sides.

    I don't think Allegri is done tinkering. Dybala on bench in every game can't be a long-term plan.

    Half-fit Mandzukic started this game because Florenzi was the RB. Cuadrado was used to send in crosses at the far post. Didn't work as well as vs Inter. EDF was smarter.

    I love clean sheets. That was our 8th one. Roughly, we haven't conceded for 12 hours so far. Much better than winning games 3-2 to me. :D

    @Alen - would you happen to know what our previous record stretch was for not conceding?

    Man I wish we had a faster striker...Higuain never ever out runs the defense for pace.
