And we shouldn't. Benching one of our 3 defenders is stupid. And Chiellini is a mediocre LB so let's not even entertain that suggestion.

That's the only way I can see the 4-2-3-1 happening

but I didn't see juve ever into constant defending mode for over 75 minutes against lower half serie a teams, juve didn't even do that against upper half serie a teams.
big difference.
and you actually gave an important example there, the game between roma - juve; that is actually the best example to contrast between calm intentional tactical defending with unintentional panic defending 'cause you went into a match with an utterly wrong approach
roma brilliantly neutralized juve, limiting juve from creating chances; juve didn't neutralize celtic, the fact that celtic was able to launch many crosses was the proof for that, whether or not celtic was ultimately able to score is quite irrelevant here.
and it all came from the oblivious tactical deficiency from 3 man defense and single wing each flank system against double wing each flank system.
another irony is that the game versus roma actually highlighted another critical concern over this 3-5-2 system, as some said, in offense, it is one man less, it lacks any penetration from the middle and finally the wing is easily neutralized.
if we only get llorente, it won't help much.
as for those who said "why should we abandon our 3 man defense?", it's stupid argument really, football is won by scoring more goals than the opposition, not preventing opposition from scoring goals; ability to keep clean sheet should be a bonus than an aim.

Not quite a Trequartista, just a little ahead of both Vidal and March/Pogba. He's no good defensively anyway. So it might turn into a 4-3-3.
Instead of having most of our attacks start from Pirlo all the way from the back, we'd have Vidal and Pogba to do that instead, Pirlo would be that connection between the defense mid and the strikers. He can't run, can't defend but can still pass like a god. So i think it'd be worth a try if we are to use what to have to make a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 work.

The strong depth comes from Juve being able to use Pogba as an alternative to the starters. No, 4-3-3 perhaps now Pepe has returned. 3-5-2 will probably remain. Formations that allow 3 in the middle.
It isn't difficult to imagine Chiellini used at left back occasionally.
The changes in formation with extra forwards might be used in desperate times, but Conte has a nice balance with his current defense and midfield.
Mighty praise bestowed upon the Belgian there. Are you sure there isn't a hint of bias in your assessment?
