Mandzukic scored 5 goals in Serie A last season. 0.2 goals per every 90min. Dybala 0.8. Costa, Cuadrado and Khedira did better as well, even if they dont play as far up the pitch. And lets not talk about assists, keypasses, dribbles or defensive contribution either.. Yet we prefer him over Dybala (even our natural wingers) now, as he scored a tap in last game.. Simply defies logic, so I guess it is more about 'man-love'.

Pretty sure Mandzukic's place will be on the bench or as CF, in hope of some good headers with the supply of our immense wingers and backs. But he needs to start converting, because his conversion is poor as hell. A few tap-ins and freak goals when we are 3-0 down doesnt change that.

Berna behind DybiCR7 would be the only way to go. @Bianconero81

We can deploy a variety of formations. I'm sure Berna, Dybi, Cuads, and Costa will all have prominent roles this season.

There is way more to football than statistics and Mandzukic plays a completely different role than all the players you mentioned, mainly being one of the few attacking players in our team willing to do the dirty work and give freedom to players like Dybala.

Allegri has got a difficult job on his hands trying to find a system that suits our new attack. We can't simply put Ronaldo in Higuain's place and think it will work. Ronaldo has played his best football working off Benzema. Out of our current attacking players, I think Mandzukic is most suited to a similar role.

That being said, I think the attacking lineup v Chievo has real potential and if it could gel could be incredible, we created so many chances in that first half. Ronaldo, Costa, Dybala, Cuadrado and Cancelo all moving around could be a nightmare for defenders. I'd like to see us try something similar again. I'm sure Allegri will figure out the best system.

I want to see Ronaldo, Dybala, Costa and Berna starting together.

Gimme the 343/3421 pls. Just once.

Our best formation is a formation that allows both dybala and Ronaldo to play a free role. Ronaldo at madrid had little defensive duties as Isco was able to drift to both flanks when defending. We just need to do the same but Dybala needs to be the partner and Costa the man behind dribbling through players.

If Matuidi, Khedira, Mandzukic, and Berna get injured then we might see this

 

[Nedved96]

Bring back the diamond.

Ronaldo - Dybala
Berna
Matuidi - Can
Pjanic
Sandro - Chiellini - Bonucci - Cancelo
Woj
​

We can always sub on Costa if we need more width.

 

[K.O.]

Yes. The 4-3-3 doesn't bring out the best out of those players. The great Marcello Lippi used to find the best formation to field his best 11. He was flexible and so is Allegri :xfinger:

 

[Juvellino]

Bring back the diamond.

Ronaldo - Dybala
Berna
Matuidi - Can
Pjanic
Sandro - Chiellini - Bonucci - Cancelo
Woj

This please!
Or maybe this:

Dybala
Ronaldo - Berna - D. Costa
Matuidi - Pjanic
Sandro - Chiello - Bonbon - Cancelo

How are we gonna play with Costa, our best or second best player, back in a few games?

Dybala back with confidence, Ronaldo has been great and must of course play. Cancelo been amazing. Bernadeschi has stepped up recently and plays well, Cuadrado always brings possession, coverage and chances, Mandzukic who has scored a lot the first games ?

We have played really well with just 2 men in midfield and I think we should consider doing that as an extra man there hasnt added much it seems.

Cuadrado rotates with the wingers and mandzukic with the strikers

we're a bit lightweight upfront for such a wing-heavy formation and I'm afraid Dybala gets lost in the middle with all the action going down wide, I'd much rather prefer a Bologna style 352 or Young Boys style 343 which involves Dybala a lot more. 433 is fine as well as long as the front 3 includes one of Berna/Costa

It does not need to be a such a rigid 442. Let berna move inwards more.
Besides I feel we switched a lop sided 442 against young boys as the match unfolded. Allegri’s teams usually do.

my main takeaway from the start of the season tactically is that Dybala-Ronaldo-Mandzukic is not our most efficient attacking line-up and Paolo performs a lot better when playing with only one of them

 

[MikeM]

Who is our backup CM now?

AS can't play RCM. Cancelo too good on the flank. Berna hurt.

Cuadrado ... :

meh, Matuidis best spot is that wide CM in a 433, he wasnt that good when we played him in a double mid with Pjanic
