I think 343

:ibralol:

343 - 4231 hybrid.

“But they said: ‘We can’t do a deal because something’s flagged up with your heart’. It was deadline day and it would take a minimum of three days to find out the problem, so they couldn’t risk signing me. They were all talking so much but I’m just sat there staring at the floor and thinking...

It is managerial malpractice to not loan Adli and still not use him. We played Messias in midfield for fucks sake. Wasn’t it better to loan Adli out then?

No, he’s out.

Thiaw in the middle, Origi for Giroud, and you have our optimal 11. Works even if it’s a 4231 with the same players.

Really hope that Pioli finally settles on a 4231/343 hybrid. It would effectively keep most of the good elements from our best days, but allow us to defend as a 5 when we're under pressure, giving us a tall CB like Kjaer or Thiaw in the middle to help Tomori and Kalulu. When we shift to a 4231...

Not playing this game made us lose quite a few good players, apparently. Not sure why we're so hellbent on never overpaying agents.

What was the point of delaying a year? What’s the point of getting CDK for 35m and stagnating his development for a year? So many things I just don’t understand.

Done so well we're already operationally profitable and will most likely run a net profit for this season. It's shocking how little we spent knowing the gaps in the squad. Botman, Renato, Charles, Ziyech. This was the minimum for what I expected in the summer. We could afford it simply by...

It's clearly a crisis. We can fix this mess and get back on track once we regain our confidence. I'm 100% sure of it. What we built in the past 3 years was real, it wasn't a fluke or a mirage.

Oli? No where near my 11, I have Origi up front.

Pioli went extreme last night in adding not only another CB but another CM. This meant no space for Leao, which was insane. If he wants to continue in a 3 atb, which he said he will, then I see no way forward except this: We defend and keep a 541 shape in defense, which seems necessary now...

I really wonder what’s actually happening in training. Pioli keeps emphasizing effort. More effort. Effort doing what? The same stupid shit? Maldini needs to at least revamp the medical/fitness prep and set piece coaching. If Pioli demands that they stay or he leaves, that’s an easy choice...

The sad truth is that Pioli will finally discover that CDK RW is the answer to his problems. 343, with Leao Origi CDK.
