Chiellini is playing horrible for more then a year now as CB and Conte moved him to LB not just because PDC sucks there but to try Chiellini in a different position. I don't know what is happening but currently our best defender is Barzagli by far. The funny thing is that he costed us 600k euros. One of ours best investments lately. If we bring CB in january Chiellini is the one who will get benched and after all his disastrous errors it will be justified. Chiellini as a LB shouldn't be considered anymore. I would put even Grosso before him. The performance last night showed what I was saying quite often about our priorities in january. Quality LB and CB, then we can talk about CL place. Chalenging for Scudetto this year will be very hard, I won't say impossible because anything can happen. Anyway I would try this 4-3-3:
Storrari
Licht-Barzagli-Chiellini-PDC (I feel so bad for choosing him)
Marchisio-Pirlo-Vidal
Quag(DP)-Matri-Vucinic
And Conte shouldn't give too many defensive duties to trident upfront because in that way it can easily become 4-5-1 which brings us nowhere
