It wouldn't be the same thing. 4-4-2 would require more defensive work from Krasic and Bastos while we'd get to see Sanchez more up front. 4-2-3-1 would give them all offensive role, and Sanchez would roam more. If we sign Beck our defense is pretty much all defensive.
I don't really consider there to be much difference between 4-4-1-1 and 4-2-3-1 in most cases.
It's all about what instrustions a player is given within the role.
And Beck and Ziegler are both balanced fullbacks, in my book. Neither are going to spend the whole game playing as a winger, but nor is it like playing a CB there who isn't going to cross the halfway line.
Yeah I'm not really a fan of that either. If it was up to me I'd play 4-3-3, or somewhat a 4-3-2-1 but that's a bit unrealistic since it doesn't include Bastos that's pretty much coming here.
Is Bastos definitely coming?
I was wondering if Juve's plans hadn't changed over the last couple of weeks with the players they are being linked with.
Signing the loan players, plus going for Inler, a RB, Bastos and a SS type is one hell of an expensive mercato.
Melo - Inler - Pirlo
Krasic - Matri - Sanchez
Looks nice.
