for the Defence:
i think Ranocchia would have been a better complimentary for chiellini than Bonnucci
smart boy ! so you would rather buy a injured player, sherlock ! you're the next moggi

Midfield:
melo,marchisio and aquilani are all good CM's,the later being more decisive and important for DN tactics as u mentioned it .but, his condition(injuries) being very fragile and our lack of back-up for melo(assuming we'll sell sissoko),we need a midfielder who can control the game but also who can defend as great as he can pass cause ;sort of like aqui+melo
there's one player who i think have this kind of ability.......Ever Banega
aquilani took part in 5 games for us (on average 55 minutes per game) of which we have lost one, drawn two and won two ... yeah he really makes us win, doesn't he ?
without him we lost 1, drew 3 and won 4 games ... hell yeah ... we are really aquilani dependent !

aquilani does add something to our midfield, for sure, but it is not yet influential enough to guarantee a starting spot for him, if melo and marchisio are in form.

Attack:
we need Dzeko that is a fact,because he's both a goal poacher and can play as a target man,which i think is important to the way we're playing
did you read that in the comments of a dzeko-youtube video ? it's getting boring already. there is no chance that we could have gotten dzeko so there is no need to moarn that we don't have him.

amauri would actually suffice if he would get service and last game krasic did more for himself than for amauri... the only useful cross come by del piero... the other situations krasic shot on goal or tried it by himself (i am not putting blame on him). my point is, just because krasic is on the pitch, does not really mean amauri will get enough crosses ... the left was dead and the right did not bother to cross... great

Why is it always whine about Amauri not getting service when he doesn't score. It's always been the same thing, our other strikers score but Amauri scores 1 goal every 15 games because "he doesn't get service". Have you ever thought that his off the ball movement is perhaps piss poor? How many headers does he miss or how many times a pass comes into the penalty box and Amauri is nowhere near it. Then afterwards we hear again about the "lack of service" :shifty:

i am no amauri lover, but when i see the second halftime of the last game and count the crosses that come aimed towards him then i have the count of ONE ! so you think he should score his only chance otherwise he is cack ?

he does exactly what a centre forward needs to do ... stay central and wait for crosses. if they dont come, it's not his fault.

you could of course use him as second striker too, this way he would have more freedom and he scored some nice goals playing in that position, but we would have need to have another striker that compliments that. his partnership with miccoli was not bad....

if you would only judge him at the amount of headers he scored compared to the crosses that came actually near his head, he would not be that bad.

you people have a very short memory, but i can remember the matches where everyone was happy what a aerial beast amauri was when he simply owned every defender and got to the end of every cross, scoring 2 from 5 crosses.

Were a 4 - 3 - 1 - 1 - 1

The first 1 is Krasic on the right wing

The second 1 is DP/Quag further upfield and infield SS on the left.

The last 1 is Amauri/Iaq in the lone striker position

i.e. as you said an asymmetrical 4-4-2

We could try the 4-3-3.

Storari

Whomever - Bonehead - Killini - DC

Aquilani - Melo - Marchisio

Krasic - Amauri - Martinez


Martinez looked good from his little time on the pitch today. I think we should try him at his natural role, support striker. Or maybe Quag instead of Amauri, but I still like a targetman.

If Martinez play in this position,we will all realize how a successful singing it was by Marotta

We should play 4-3-3. There is no point in not playing that formation. We don't have 2 strikers that are good enough for the 4-4-2, Marchisio is not a winger and we can't afford to bench one of Melo, Aquilani or Marchisio. 4-3-3 will give us that 3 man midfield, it would also let us see what Martinez can do on the left flank much closer to goal.

Then we should get Seba back ASAP. But it looks like we are playing 4-3-3 when we attack and 4-4-2 when we defend

They trying to make him a poster boy for Juve, I like him but he's not that great to be in that hype they build him up to be yet maybe later I hope. All know is keep him off the Left Flank.

    We then end up with the Del Piero dilemma who cannot give his best in a 4-3-3 as has been proven at numerous occasions before. However, since Del Piero is being rotated then I don't see a reason why not play that formation when he's on the bench.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Martinez being tried out as a striker

    Dream team however would be:

    Buffon

    VdWiel.........Bonucci........Chiellini........PDC

    Kraken........Melo/Marchisio.......Aquaman........Afellay

    Dzeko......Suarez

    In a way we do kind of play 433 anyway when we have the ball. Krasic is involved in all the attack along with the strikers. Aquilani tends to be further forward in the center with Melo further back and Marchisio also back but slightly to the left... then when we lose the ball Krasic tracks back.

    I think the way we plays is working and Marchisio is not so much a winger in the formation but a CM who drifts left while Aquilani is a CM who drifts forward in to the space behind the strikers. It is a nice style of play :tup:
