Preferred Formation
- Thread starter Rex
- Start date
yeah i feel boateng is a weak link at the moment and he needs to regain some form and fast .Montolivo can be important for us because he has a somewhat decent defensive ability plus he reads the game well and passes well .the formation i posted allows de jong to really support the defence and try and cut out passes which he does well but it means Montolivo and boateng need to be able to hold the ball and create a link to attack with maybe boateng given the more attacking licence .
what i would like to see is Bojan and Ses together .yes i know some will say they are similar but so far nothing has worked and i think both players have a good turn of speed and can really force defenders into mistakes .i also believe it will mean we get best use of Pazzini cause there is more chance he will be involved in link up play rather than waiting for the odd long ball or goal poach .
so far we've been somewhat predicatble in ouir play which is understandable .for one some players are new and seem to panic on the ball and the ones who have been in the system the last year or seem to look up expecting to see a giant swede standing there .the only choice we have is to have guys like bojan close to goal and play more of a possession game .
like i said what we've tried thus far hasn't worked and while we are waitng for players to return from injury we should be focusing on which players best work in what position .allow the players to play their natural game and with more freedom .i believe the goals will come but at the moment it's kinda of a case where no player in the team knows where they will come from.

3-5-2. we have the players for it to work
------------------Abbiati-------------
--------Zapata--Mexes--Acerbi-----
--Abate--De Jong--Monty--Prince--Urby--
----------Pato/Paz------Binho/SES---------
Abate can be rotated with De Sciglio, Prince can be repalced with any of our other fodder midfielders, and Bojan can take one of the two striker spots.
Mexes is a good passer from the back, Acerbi is great in the air and Zapata is just a good all around player.
Its a formation that maximizes our player's talents

definitely, I think that juve have really set up well with this formation that allows them to pack the midfield, but also allow for many players to defend and counter attack.
We also have a team capable for this, plus a better attack. Montolivo would be our pirlo, de jong their vidal, and one of prince/noce their marchiso.
Honestly we should try this formation, urby and abate are perfect for those heavy running getting up and down the pitch wing back roles. And with pato and robinho up top, we have a poacher and someone to link if needed.

I see no reason why we can't beat most Serie A teams with this formation:
I think it maximizes everyone's preferred position into one formation, not to mention there's still 2 strikers so Papa Berlu can't complain.
Abbiati
De Sciglio--Mexes--Acerbi--Antonini
De Jong---Montolivo
Prince----------------------Urby
Robinho/ Bojan/ SES
Pazzini/ Pato

--------------Montolivo-------------
--Bojan/Boa----------Robinho/SES-
------------Pato/Pazzini-------------
-De Jong and Ambrosini would assist Urby and Abate in defense since the FBs go forward a lot. If Urby seriously sucks that much as a LB I'd field Antonini or Constant.
-Montolivo wouldn't be a real AM... more like an advanced CM. The engine of the team who does the wide passes to our wingers/FBs or straight to the mid for our main striker.
-Bojan/SES and Robinho could work as wingers or second strikers when needed.

Any formation without Robinho sucks.
Instead I see Boatengreally?
Yeah Binho needs to start when healthy, although with SES in great form I think its tough to bench him
and I have Prince it my formation because in an ideal world if he is on form and out of super star mode he could help.
If not we have Noce who is out of form, so I guess that means that the other starter in midfield would be Flamini or Constant. any of the 4 is less than ideal at the moment.
but yeah at the moment I would not be starting Prince

Nah, Robinho has to start. We really need him. If El Shaarawy is earning a starting spot then they simply should play both unless all of Robinho, Pato, Pazzini and El Shaarawy are fit, then I'd use El Shaarawy as a sub assuming the others deserve to start.
Both Boateng and Nocerino shouldn't be starters. Ambrosini, De Jong, Montolivo and Emanuelson are the ones I would rotate in midfield (and if we'd play my 3-4-3 then the first three will rotate while Emanuelson plays then as wingback).
So for both attack and midfield I have four names to play a lot. Others will play less as long they don't better their game. At this point, Bojan is a logical number five for attack, and Abate may be for midfield while De Sciglio is my favourite rightback.

great form?
He has zero goals or assists. He's produced some nice movements of potential but great form? Nah.

Just before tuesday's game, people were bashing SES all over the place, saying we should have never gambled on him. Allegri puts him on bench, puts him on, he has a good game, all of the sudden he's on great form....no fans are always so right and never have knee jerk reactions.

4-3-3 is the only way with our current squad. We have no creative midfielders, no CAM, or any movement up top for that matter - Pazzini/Pato need support/service too. The only way that'll happen is with wingers on each side.
For the next game:
Guaranteed win

Shaarawy-Pazzini-Krkic
Traoré-Ambrosini-Montolivo

why are you benching De Jong, who might very well be our best mid

4-3-3 is the way forward, little doubt about that.

Change Acerbi for Antonini and we're good to go.
