i'd say missing vucinic and marchisio, coupled with the black whole we have on the left side, its crippeling us

Hmmm! It seems that we did not learn the lessons of the defeat, we incurred at the Juve vs Samp game!
Yes, I know it is not easy to beat Parma at their ground and they are not a bad team, but again, we sat back after scoring a solitary goal. If we had kept working hard until we had scored three or four, I would not mind them taking a breather, but not a one or two goal lead.

he's just trying to cool the sure onslaught of media biatches that are going to stir up some sort of crisis scenario. We are obviously not playing with hunger or maybe they are but they are no where near they're usual fitness level. They look tired and not focused when it comes to positioning on the counter. It's been 3 games now where even a child can see the 3 man defence is not working at all with out chiellini and asa. It's no coincidence all 3 goals against us in the last 2 league games came down the middle left side of the field. It's time to go to a 4 man defence IMO atleast until asa and chiellini come back.
Another thing I noticed is the absolute lack of chances we are creating and I am comparing this to the amount we usually have. This is where Conte, Pirlo, Buffon are needed to step shit up and get the team focused again. We all know January is a terrible month of Juve so kes leave it at that but unfortunately I think our luck is running out, we can't rely on our mids all the time so ill be a broken record and we need a damn forward now and not immobile or gab.

Lets just hope I the usual January rut. But things do need to change. Either they need a decent low intensity week because they do look tired but if its because of pure lack of intensity from they players then a straight kick in the ass is needed ASAP. February is a massive month and we need to be in form.
It awful performance from us. We didn't create a single 100% chance to score a goal for the whole match. 3-5-2 doesn't work for us if Chiellini is missing. Without him and Asamoah our left side is weak, so much money spent for depth.
It's time to dispose 3-5-2 because with this formation we lack three main things we had last season:
- High pressing on opponent,
- High pass accuracy,
- High number of chances per match.
3-5-2 is not good for pressing. We often score a goal a then sit back at our half like we played Barca or Real. We don't make our opponents make mistakes in defense. To kill an opponent you need to push harder. Instead we back off and let them play.
Also our game is very narrow because of lack of wingers. Especially with right-footed player on the left side. In 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 you have two players on each wing who are back ups for each other in defense as well as in attack. Pirlo has nobody to play forward to because we play with only 2 forwards who often are cut off and one of them is Giovinco who has no chance winning a high ball sent from Pirlo. This also makes our game slow, predictable and ineffective. Our attacks are unprepared, we lose ball too fast which ends up like today and a week ago vs Samp.
Another problem I can see is lack of players that suit 3-5-2. Our starting lineup is very good but when we miss some player we can't replace him with nobody. Also some of our players are not used properly. We're not Barca to make CF become a winger, CM become a forward and so on. This one goes especially to Vucinic, Giovinco, Licht, De Ceglie and so on.
I propose to use 4-3-3:
Also when Pepe comes back he competes for RWF spot.
Imo this roster is very balanced and strong. We don't lack CBs as we have three very good CBs for two spots. Right wing is very strong, Licht is a natural RB, Caceres is a very good backup too. Left wing is not that good but PDC is better as LB than LWB and that's a fact. CM is also very strong as we have Asamoah here to rotate with Vidal and Marchisio. In attack Left wing is very good, right wing are runners who can deliver a good assist at times but they need to be more defensive and put pressing a lot.
Besides the CF position we're good enough to win the league. CL is another matter, it's always hard to predict even if we're going to play against Celtic who on paper aren't that strong.

Isla/Giacch - Quag/Matri - Vucinic/Giovinco
