Alright, I am convinced.
Clearly, I have come to the wrong conclusion from Milan's 8th position and loss/tactical failure in every big game that we are in a system that's well suited for us.
A system which literally just 3 of our players (not even the coach) are familiar with before Milan (Bonucci, Conti, Kessie. RR at Wolfsburg but he failed).
All other players have achieved their modicum of success in 4-man variants. Success they are clearly unable to replicate in 3 man systems.
Milan shares absolutely no characteristic familiar with successful (semi-successful) 3 man systems like Chelsea or Juve - strong, fast, physical wing backs and wingers, proper regista and holding midfielders, competent target man.
I mean, we did change our "well" suited system 21 times in 21 games and the only position we settled on was Borini should be right wing back.
But I am now convinced otherwise.
You are perhaps unaware that Zapata had his best phase of his career, and was one of the best in the league, playing in a 3-man.
RicRod is the only one who isn't appropriate for the 3-5-2 in fact. Romagnoli, Bonucci, Zapata and Conti are all well suited for it.

After 15 rounds, Milan have ran 105,499 Km in Serie A, occupying the 19th place. Only Torino have ran less (104,740 Km)
"Thankfully" we will play the next two matches without Ale.
So, we will see how our defense holds up without him.
Yes, OK, he's our best player!
Yes, OK, he's our best player!
You can laugh but I'm going to miss him tomorrow...
They will find a way to play without him but he's different & he's brilliant, he will be missed. But we will win anyway!
