We've seen what a team like Benfica can do on the counter, and really we need to be capable of that too. Look at their squad, nothing special. Their Wingers aren't even that good. But they're quick, and they're not afraid to run at their man. So with a pair of average pace merchants they can counter the shit out of any team. Our defence is (on paper) better. Our midfield is definitely better, our strikers are better. Yet they attack in a way that we simply can not.
So we don't need to spend 100M to change formations from time to time. We just need some pace, some direct play. I hate to say it but fucking Biabiany would improve us from the bench at this rate. We're ridiculously slow and we always play the ball backwards and sideways because we have no hope in hell of counter attacking. So teams who are caught 'on the break' by Juventus think 'Nevermind I have 50 seconds to get back into position now' and before you know it the team that had 6 men forward against us now has every man behind the ball.
