remember the lippi days...with the wonderfull formation of 4-3-1-2...this is how it was
in the 2003 season when we reached the finals
...................buffon..............
.thuram...tudor...montaro..brindilli
..zambrotta....tacchinardi..davids
................nedved..............
...trezeguet/di vaio.......del piero
in that formation..you could play without a target man..and as both our target man arent avaliable..why capello for once try that formation..i know its not good changing formations..but playing zalayeta and DP in a 4-4-2 formation against sampodria would be a big mistake
because DP would have all the responsiabilty to score a goal..while zalayeta will be more used for the ''nod-heading player''..were he will only go for the high balls..while the midfield will be more busy defending than attacking..
but lets say if we used the 4-3-1-2..
............buffon..........
pessotto...thuram..cannavaro..zamb/balza
....camronesi.....emerson/vieria....mutu
..............nedved................
........zalayeta....DP.......
in this formation..we would have more attacking flowing game...were our game would be based as a ''touch-pass''..nedved would express himself with all those unique long-shots playing behind the strikers..as in the 4-4-2..our game is based on long balls...which doest always help...and as the CL is approaching..would could rest either emerson or vieria..but this would never happen under capello
