Still lacking balance as I see. We didn't play as bad as many say but there are several problems. Our midfield is too unbalanced right now: it's too offensive, only Marchisio is there to cover/hold the midfield. On the other hand depite the offensive lineup we had we couldn't create anything. So many bodies upfront but so unorganized.
IMO the problems we're having in offence are connected to the 4312 which simply doesn't suit our team anymore. It's too central and our players aren't strong enough to play that way. You could see we started to do better with Cuadrado on the right.
IMO Allegri should consider switching to 433. On paper it's ok to play 4312 but in practice we play too slow and then we're having too much trouble getting past a packed defence. Dybala can't replace Tevez directly as SS because Tevez was a tank while Dybala is just a kid - too easy to dispossess.
Right now I'd fancy a Conte-like 433 that he used here. Right now 4312 is a mess, it seems players don't understand how to play it. Besides Hernanes is better off playing as regista or B2B than AM and Pereyra is always moving to wings anyway he's no AM neither. We have to play through wings more as we don't look too threatening from the middle.
I'm thinking of something like this:
Buffon
Licht - Bonucci - Chiellini - Alex Sandro
Khedira/Lemina - Marchisio - Pogba/Hernanes
Cuadrado/Pereyra - Mandzukic/Morata - Dybala
Forwards can exchange on the wings during the game obviously. Pogba/Hernanes to join the attack a lot while Marchisio would hold the midfield with Kherdira/Lemina.
