What was once again pointed out from yesterdays match is that 3-5-2 in most cases don´t work in CL when our backline is being pressured..
We need to have a plan b; 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2..
I always prefferd Jovetic as out top priority this summer, but now I am starting to think that Sanchez would be the ideal signing as he can play both SS and RW, and because he has the same Vidal-metality to never giver up and press the opponent, even if the rest of the team is playing like "shite"...
Also, both Vucinic and especially Giovinco can play as LW. Also, Giovinco is better suited to play on the flanks to use his acceleration and flair, and I believe he has the work rate to track back effeciently, even if his physical and defensive skills are poor..
Having Llorente as main ST in 4-3-3 should do the trick with Matri as back-up, since Matri has no ball-control at ALL, but is quite good at finishing, he could do well as a lone poacher, not taking part in the build-up..
In sum, buy Sanchez and sell Quaq
Sanchez, Giovinco, Vucinic, Llorente and Matri would be a good and doable upgrade to our current forward-line while also allowing us to play 4-3-3 when needed.
Now, go do it Marotta! :-D
