QUOTE (Rossoneri7 @ Oct 3 2012, 10:59 AM)  Great post ... Yes team lacks identity, but I believe we need to reinforce protection on our defensive line. That midfield of Kaka, Seedorf, Gattuso and Pirlo had a backline of Nesta, Costacurta, Maldini, Cafu, Stam, etc ... Compared to our current defense, Mexes/Zapata ... I think you get my point here. On paper, X-Off's formation looks very interesting. But I beg to question, how effective is it on the field of play? Good point about the weaker defence. However adding more DMs does not mean that you add defensive stability, I think this fact has been exacerbated and demonstrated a million times over under Allegri, who not only plays 2 DMs but also went as far as to play 3 DMs on some occasions. Do you know what adding an extra DM means? It means that we're going to lose the ball more often because of the terrible propensity for bad passing in midfield. We need more technique in our midfield not more headless chicken running. Thus, by NOT including that extra DM, we'll keep possession better and make good use of the ball when we have it, thus not putting our defenders under constand pressure because we're constantly losing the ball in dangerous areas. No big European team plas with 2 DMs, some of them don't even deploy a proper DM! |

We actually have a bunch of them, and them are the ones who lose possession of terrible passing. Ambrosini DM, Nocerino runner, who's more likely to lose possession? Nocerino. |

Ambrosini is as much likely to make a terrible pass as Nocerino, same for Flamini, De Jong and the list goes on. We don't have dynamic DMs on this team, and that's why it causes us a huge headache when we play 2 or 3 of them |

For what's worth it, De Jong can be a dynamic DM.
I'm waiting for the next lol. |

Inter won the CL using 2/3 DMs fairly recently. But they had Milito/Eto'o/Sneijder winning them games. You say having 1 DM is fine and it is, so long as he has hard working players around him. You can't play just 1 midfielder with defensive responsibilities though. Montolivo may as well not be there when we don't have possession, so Boateng simply has to track back and work hard for the team. Otherwise playing Boateng/De Jong/Montolivo won't work. |

Funny how people obsessively dislike DM's. Me and Kurt are in for De Jong, han always for Ambro, Chu for Nocerino.

Yep. Arsenal. Wenger had the logic that giving the #10 worn by Bergkamp to another forward would be too much pressure.
