If we sold him and got Bremer and Dybala we would be winners today, not beelan. Out of form like our whole defence.

Leao toasts him every time. Love Skri but he simply isn’t quick enough to handle that kind of player. I think Inzaghi hoped Dumfries could help but he already has Theo to worry about.

And What Leao did with him? they were 1vs1 once and he did a brilliant take. Leao is very fast, sometimes he may get the advantage.

Look at De Vrij and then Dumfries who was always late.

As soon as theres a quick player next to him, he looks like Campagnaro. And this has not been a problem just this year, but all the time. Its just that people are finally pointing it out... actually all 3 of our defenders have the same problem. So either stop sending them high up the pitch or change the formation. Skriniar also works much better in a 4 man defense.

Our cbs have certain strengths and certain weaknesses. When you play to their strengths, they can look as the best in the league. But with the way we play we expose their weaknesses. Imo the way to go forward past this season is a switch to a back 4 and a defensive duo of Skriniar and Bastoni. Also because quality wingbacks are usually expensive while it's a lot easier to find a decent fullback to do the job.

I agree about playing to the squads strengths, but what formation do you suggest? we don't have wingers for a 442, 433, 4231, that leaves us with 4312 but that needs our wing backs to bomb forward, but again, leaving our CBs exposed in wide areas.

Ideally Skrinair would play centrally protected by 2 athletic CBs on either side of him. But that ship has sailed. The only way forward is to implement Conte's tactic of playing deep with the WBs protecting the CBs in wide areas. But that's not Inzaghi's style of play.

Before putting pen to paper management should have sat down with Inzaghi, identify the requisite players that suite his style of play and proceed accordingly. Unfortunately I don't see much of that going on. We have players that fit the 352 system but don't fit Inzaghi's style of play. And the results are clear to see. To often slow, disjointed and uninspired. We play scared.

Our only hope is that Inzaghi has Conte-esque moment soon. Remember after Ibra mauled Kolarov in the derby? We finally gave up playing that nonsensical 3-4-1-2 and began sitting deeper. Inzaghi needs to realize that we can't keep leaving a ton of space between our midfield and defense or we're going to keep leaking goals to squads with any talent or pace.

And he has Lukaku's pace to keep the opposition defence honest.

But for sure if Inzaghi played that way and lost we would call him a coward lol.

Don't forget Conte didn't have a stellar record vs the top teams, he often got it wrong in big games. But it was against the minnows where he excelled.

This season? 3-5-2. we don't have the players to play anything else. No wingers, no playmaking AM to play diamond. I was more referring to the future. What we could do after this season considering De Vrij contract expires.

We're going to lose him for free. I doubt he wants to renew after being treated like a trash

Love the dude, but obviously he just had two really bad games and he needs to collect himself and come back stronger.

I dont know whether you noticed but Skriniar was recovering from injury 2 months this summer?Of course it takes time to go back to previous form…If you ever played football you know how it is to be two months off… Howver even if he is still not as good as last season but he is still one of our best performing player..Against Bayern we was crushed because not existent middfield,attack and wings…If we switched CBs with Bayern nothing would changed…So stop blaming our CBs because only CBs and Brozo are our only CL level material…

Yeah that PSG drama didnt help him either…If you loose stamina then you also looks mentally off…I think there was some other things that. went wrong,he didnt get Captaincy last game when Handa-Barella didnt play…
Meh other than the icardi situation we ve always given the captaincy to the guy whos in the squad the longest, and i think dambro wore it before when skriniar already was in the team.

I am just making conspiracy theories:D Dambrosio is great guy...I still believe Skriniars under performing is based mostly on his 2 months off... Under Conte hard training routine,after 90minutes he was able to play another match...Now he looks tired after 10 minutes...

He is affected by injury and by the situation, these are strong factors.

Imagine yourself at his place, You love club, fans love you, you plan to be here for a long time and suddenly you are treated like a real estate that is on market to make profit.
