Maicon have been ok, but that is it. I’m still not convinced of his defensive abilities which should be a priority really. But then again we need to see him more often before judging. Anyhow discussing him right now in such extent is pointless as I don’t see him as starter in whichever formation. If we play 4-4-2 then he will need to give way for J Zanetti.
And in a formation like last night against JuBe then by playing him we lose all the valuable qualities that J zanetti poses as he has never been as effective on the left flank when going forward as he is on the right. So Maicon just like many others should cherish the moment because soon his time in the 1st team will be over. He will probably rock the house in few coppa Italia games.
Well, I never said I want Maicon to play instead of Zanetti. It would be stupid as hell.
Nor I said I want Javier to play on the left. I just pointed out, that Maicon played a lot, A LOT better when we played 4-3-3 than when we played 4-4-2 formation. Don't you agree ?
The right side is 100% reserved for Javier, and left is for Grosso/Maxwell, and that is obvious.
Of course we can, and we have the perfect team to do that. All that is required is to offload one of our forwards.
What about Pizarro ?
As I said countless times, there is no way we can play 4-4-2 with those players we have, it would be stupid, as 4-4-2 biggest advantage, are the wings, and we don't have them.
Figo was good, but I'm afraid he won't be this year, and I don't think he will manage to be a starter for most of the season. Stankovic was never winger, and he never will be.
Cesar os shit, and Solari is not good enough for first team.
Our greatest force right now is:
- Strikers
- Centrall midfielders
- Side backs
All this is the most crucial in 4-3-3. It is the best suited tactic for us right now, and the match last night when Mancio could play it for the first time, and he did, is the best prove of that.
