Tactics and Formations (10 Viewers)

[deggen10]

Not really arguing that 3-5-2 isn't effective but I like to hope this Juventus team can reach a level where Barca and co have to be the cautious team. The final was a disaster but for a while after the first goal, we actually controlled the flow for a period and I'm not sure it's possible with 3 CBs.

I'm only using Napoli as a reference though, so we might do it differently in CL.

Buffon
Storari
Lichtsteiner - Bonucci - Barzagli - Chiellini
Caceres - Lucio - Lucio - De Ceglie

Padoin - Marrone - Asamoah
Giovinco - X - Vucinic

Buffon
Storari
Barzagli - Bonucci - Chiellini
Lucio - Lucio - Lucio
Isla - Vidal - Pirlo - Marchisio - De Ceglie
Caceres - Padoin - Marrone - Asamoah - Giaccherini
X - Vucinic
Matri/Destro - Giovinco​

Those should be our primary formations IMO.

 

[ZoSo]

Caceres is a CB plus other positions. Chiellini will be wasted at LB. Isla or Pepe over Giovinco.

 

[Joe]

I think Lucio will be the main CB sub, then Caceres.

Giovinco is going to do well this season, mark my words.

Italy controlled the first game with 3 CBs, didn't they?

one of the reason Italy lost the final, completely overrun in midfield
a 5 man midfield would have helped but then a three man defence would have been suicide

 

[Dominic]

I wonder if isla was really brought for the wide role. Could just as easily be vidals deputy

I'm pretty certain that Conte and Marotta sees Isla as a player for a wide role, whether it be as a winger or wingback. No doubt he is at his best playing wide.

Not bad.

Expect Pepe to keep his place on the right of a 4-3-3, though.

Could well be.

Only see him as being forst choice as RWB.

He may well be viewed as a potential midfield backup when Juve are playing 4-3-3.

You don't think Giovinco would work there?

 

[Dominic]

I'm pretty certain that Conte and Marotta sees Isla as a player for a wide role, whether it be as a winger or wingback. No doubt he is at his best playing wide.

I think there are quite some reasons for doubt. He was constantly playing in midfield, prior to his injury, the last time he played a match.

 

[Dominic]

Anyway.. How about a prandelli style lineup.

Love it, however, I am a big fan of the 3-5-2! If you get a left winger to push De Ceglie and a Striker, we are set!

Impossible, this line-up need a clinical finisher

I don't disagree we will se him in a three man-midfield. I just doubt it was for that role he was bought. But it really doesn't matter. Because no doubt he is looked at as a utility player - the best in Serie A maybe.

I like the 3-5-2 as well, just exploring alternatives, with the signings we did.

Yes, I agree. I would not be surprised if he was tested out in a few new roles as well. On the left.

It's about the midfield.

Furthermore, i'm not sure I agree. A team like that is all about the movement from midfield into the box, you need good on the ball forwards.

Not against anything but the weakest of teams.

[Bianconero81]

Replace Gio with JoJo and you have yourself a solid team.
