I can't believe we're closer to 2016 than 2015 and I have to say this to myself and other people again but here we go.
3-5-2, with 2 offensively SHIT wing backs, old ones at that, and a midfield with about as much creativity at a mid-table SPL side, with a striker who needs service to boot. Is a FUCKING disaster. Such a disjointed, boring, unimaginative way to play and the attack just looks so lost and isolated. I looked at our line up, and I just knew we were fucked.
It was basically our old annoying static 3-5-2 but with a slightly, slightly better attack, a much worse midfield and a somewhat worse defence.
Part of this is due to injuries, but a big part of the problem is we still actually need to rely on the cancerous 3-5-2 when we had so much success in a 4-3-1-2 and EVERY opportunity to go after players who would allow us to carry on with said formation and build from it. Instead we sold the only midfielder Allegri trusted to play as the '1' and never replaced him.
