Honestly no matter what formation we will continue to suck. The reason is that players are not moving. They literally stand still. Thats why we are predictable.
Why we play slightly better with Marchisio on the field is because he tries to open up spaces by moving.
Our off the ball movement is close to zero... Our team was build to play 4-3-1-2 but if the players do not move correctly (let alone not move at all) without the ball and try to loose their marks we will continue to loose.

I agree.
But why not pick the formation we struggled less with by a mile, and see if Zac can maybe fine tune that with 'all his experience'. I'm not saying we'll just be a great team using the 4-2-3-1 but I'm fairly positive it would give us a boost and required movement, due to other players playing ( Giovinco.. ). Especially in the final third, which has been extremely poor.
Diego performs better with players around him, and our DMs have to do less creative work. Also there would be more movement from the flanks, so Mr-I-can-only-score-from-crosses can actually be more useful, as he's been the only fit striker who can play a single striker formation for a while.
I simply don't understand why we don't give it a go, and I'm becoming rather frustrated about it simply because we keep playing people out of position and asking players to do stuff they're not good at.

Both Trezeguet and Iaquinta offer different characteristics in our attack. Trezeguet is a deadly weapon inside the box; he's still our top scorer this season despite the injury. Iaquinta's advantage over the former is that he runs a lot and can be a headache for any defender who is marking him.
We could do with any one of them at the moment.
