It depends. If you want to play a 4-3-3 you better hope you have technical players up forward because the formation in itself creates congestion. In a 4-2-4 Pepe would be more effective not to mention the surplus of wide attackers we have in the squad who are fast but by no means skillful. They need space to run into and the 4-2-4 will create that for them. Either way its time Marotta started bringing in some good forward starters. Our entire group of wide attackers and forwards are either shit, too old or just generally mediocre and most of them were brought in throughout the past two markets Even Vucinic should be eventually replaced but he is definitely last on my list.
You know it's bad when De Ceglie is our best crosser. (Esti or Mirko aren't that bad either). You said it best, in the 433 you need technical players and Pepe is everything but technical.
