3 CB might offset Moli's constant defensive lapses.
-----Melberg--Andrade--Chiellini
------------Poulsen--------------Molinaro
-Camo----------------Sissoko
--Amauri------Trez-------Del Pie
come on... sissoko as LM? How should del piero get ANY ball there?? Sissoko is a pure destroying DM. It's no use positioning i-don't-know-where. He plays in front of our defense, and nowhere else. if we really want poulsen and are going to play him alongside Sissoko, then i don't see any other formation than this one:
XX -- XX
Nedved ------------------ Camo
Sissoko -- Poulsen
Molinaro -- Chiellini -- Legro/Andrade/Mellberg -- Grygera
Now i don't like that Formation at all, because i doubt camo and neddy have the pace to compensate the lack of the CM. I'd like to see Tiago somewhere too (he could be replaced with one of the 2 DMs) It's undeniable that the formation above is a pure destroying formation, and it
could possibly work out, but it's going to be a sad juve to look at; Probably lots of long balls (by poulsen and sissoko... omg) but we have to acknowledge that it brings certain versatility also... we could for example bring in giovinco as an AM, Del Piero even as an AM, grabbing balls outside the penaltly area...
I don't know... i'd have preffered someone like xabi every time, but i must say that xabi at +20 mio € is just too much. We did this 'mistake' already with tiago, and we've seen what a delicate position the CM is especially in italy (not much room, tight defending)... imagine him to end up the same as tiago did.... Poulsen is not comparable to Xabi, neither in terms of technique, nor in terms of character... but i
have to agree that poulsen for 8mio is probably better than xabi for 20... sadly... if liverpool would accept that 16mio-deal than it would be another question, but 20 is a lot more to cover, especially when we don't have a Director who pulls out his wallet in that case (like berlusca or moRATti)
It's a sad thing to see, but it's reality... we're missing a President who has his heart with the club and does not just consider it a 'firm'. We gotta be happy with poulsen i fear...
