Your REALISTIC Inter squad or line-up

Walter Samuel is one player not two

lol, my bad:troll:

This is not going to happen though I'm trying to be true to the game:

--------------Pazzini---------------------
---Eto'o-----Sneijder------Alvarez-------
----------Vidal------Cambiasso-----------
Zanetti--------------------------Maicon--
-------Lucio------Walter Samuel---------
-----------------JC----------------------

I like this formation, and it is also a perfect example of how a 3-4-3 and a 4-2-3-1 are not that far apart. The above formation is basically a 4-2-3-1 (I edited Dyna's formation slightly to make it more obvious), but look how little needs to be changed for it to be a 3-4-3 (Gasp pulled this slight of hand in the match against Cremonese by playing Muntari in the Vidal role).

--------------Pazzini---------------------
---Eto'o--------------------Alvarez-------
---------Sneijder------------------------
--------------------Cambiasso-----------
---Vidal-----------------------Maicon--
---Zanetti----Lucio------Walter Samuel-
-----------------JC----------------------

These two formations are basically the same - the only difference is in the 3-4-3 Zanetti doesn't push forward as much and Vidal plays more wide. My question is, who do we have that can play this flexible role where Dyna placed Vidal? We saw Muntari try it today (did a fine job IMO), Obi tried it vs. Mezzocorona. I have to imagine Nagatomo can handle it, probably Zanetti too (pace?).

I've been trying to wrap my head around this shape all day, and I've calmed down considerably . As long as Wesley can keep pushing forward and Gasp does not ask him to play too much defense, I think these tactics can work. As you can see from this transformation, they really do not seem to be vastly different from what we played under Mourinho.

So now you finally understand what ive been saying all along with regards to this 343 and how flexible it is....?

---------------------PAZZO-----------------------
------ETO'O---------------------------------------
----------------------------------ALVAREZ--------

Finally... classic black I think you should be careful not to undervalue the process with respect to these posts and ideas. Even if our final product may be similar, we are not necessarily saying the same thing. Regardless, I obviously value and appreciate your input. :thumbsup:

I stand behind everything I've said and still have major reservations about a Chuchu/Wes MF pairing. However, seeing Muntari play reasonably well in the WB position today gave me a better idea of what Gasp is really expecting out of that role in his 3-4-3. Also, I think the defensive shortcomings of Sneijder definitely play a role in Gasp's decision to use a [D]MF as a WB. So long as they can slot into a more central role from time to time, it can work. Still, IMO Sneijder was way too far back and looked mismatched at times against Cremonese. This will be even more of an issue against the size and speed of Serie A CMs.

Ok.....whatever thats supposed to mean?

Never mind, you may not see it now.....hopefully in a couple of matches you will resist the cliche too.

It means sometimes you seem more focused on proving how smart you are or (even worse) how dumb someone else is rather than just talking football and leaving the personal stuff for the off-topic threads.

My earnest attempt at legitimate analysis speaks for itself with respect to the so-called 'cliche' of the 3-4-3. Considering Gasp has only utilized it in a handful of training matches with half the squad on leave, I think it's anyone's guess as to exactly how it will play out.

If i have the opportunity to shed some light on something that another poster had less knowledge about, then id be glad. It would work the other way as well. Id be more then happy to pick up extra knowledge if it came around due to conversations on here with other members. It has nothing to do with showing how "smart" one person is, or prooving how "dumb" another person is. We are all fans in here, and yes some might have been introduced to this game and this team longer then others, there is no need to segregate them....especially in the way you "think" its happening.

Finally... classic black

youve talked to me for what...a week? And you already think your in my head? Great way of coming to conclusions....seems kinda de ja vu doesnt it?

So now you finally understand what ive been saying all along with regards to this 343 and how flexible it is....?

If this to you is trying too somehow put myself up, or bring you down...then you have some issues. Im not saying my way is right. I didnt say youre way is wrong. All i said was that you understand my thought process and what i believe to be happening. Stop taking things to personal, not everythings about or revolves around you.

Look bro, my feelings arent hurt, but it was condescending. So I pointed it out with 3 words out of 150 in my post. Of course, those 3 are the only ones you reply to... and then you follow it up with 200 more about how I have issues! Well, maybe we can split a cab to the shrink's office!

Anyone want to talk about football?

 

[blackmore]

I dont know, is there anybody out there on my level

So what did you think of last nights performance. I liked the fact that we finally had 2 players dictating the play in two different quadrants of the field. I know to many sneijder would have looked out of place yesterday, and i admit at times he did drop very deep, but hey cmon its a position that he hasnt played since his ajax days......I believe he'll slowly get back into it.

3 cb's sucks and will not work

---------------------PAZZO-----------------------

----------------------------------ROSSI/ALVAREZ---
-------------------WESLEY----------------------------
--------------CUCHU-----NEW DM-----------------
--ZANETTI---LUCIOUS---RANNOCHIA----MAICON---
---------------------JC---------------------------

Buy a good midf and Rossi and stop the bullshit
Even Cuchu who was my favorite players years ago doesnt deserve a starting job after a horrible season last year, i think he is finished and he sucks

 

[blackmore]

Yes ...it was cuchus fault that he was played out of position, and even so had one of his best seasons for us stats wise......ever!

 

[Alex de Large]

Not a big fan of stats.

 

[blackmore]

Me neither...but to say he's finished and he sux is a little overboard. No matter, he will be in out starting 11

 

[b4h4mooth]

Have u guys seeing chuchu at copa america Argentina ....yes he is finished......Stanko or Motta will take his place in 343 formation

But chuchu as a benchwarmer is not bad imo

 

[blackmore]

did you see messi in copa america....?

yeap loooks like he's finished too

 

[b4h4mooth]

Messi still made an assist and made some good movement, he was not finished...Cambi 2 games as starter suddenly benchwarmer. He will be good at Inter as benchwarmer. We still need him































as benchwarmer

 

[blackmore]

So samuel who didnt even get a call up for the team...does that mean we shouldnt use him at all....what kind of logic is this? He was moved to the bench because of a tacticaly inept coach. It had very little to do with his performance.

 

[Johnny Ludlow]

I know it's controversial, but I wouldn't mind selling Sneijder. 40 millions for him is a solid deal. Nothing indicates that Gasp is going to emply a trequartista; thus Sneijder would play out of position. Frankly, I think midfield partnership of Cambiasso and Sneidjer would be poor. Since we don't have crazy money, we need to take calculated risks to stay on the very top of European football, selling Sneijder and replacing him with two talented players such as Casemiro and Hazard would be such risk. It goes down to evaluation, and I evaluate Hazard to be superb talent, one of the biggest in Europe. I of course know the new players, especially Casemiro, would not be guaranteed starters at all, players from so called second team could very well replace them.

----------Eto'o---------------
Alvarez---------------Hazard--
----Casemiro-Cambiasso-------
Nagatomo--------------Maicon
----Lucio--Samuel--Zanetti----
----------Cesar---------------

Our second string would still be quite competitive; it implies our squad would be suited to play Gasp's 3-4-3:

----------Pazzini-------------
Coutinho-------------Palacios
-------Motta--Stankovic-----
Santon--------------Jonathan
---Chivu-Ranocchia-Cordoba--
-----------Viviano------------

In this scenario we were able to get rid of Pandev for Palacio and Muntari for small amount of cash. Castaignos is loaned out. In addition to these line-ups, we'd still have the kinds of Mariga, Obi and Milito, who could play some part in our season; especially Milito, who is currently a question mark. Our very best formation could be one with Eto'o on wing and Diego as a CF, it's just impossible to predict.

If you think Stankovic and especially Motta can consistently offer more than Cuchu at his position, then no one can help you out anymore.

 

[Doffy]

lol its so obvious, our midfield is worthless. they didnt buy any decent reinforcements for our weakest area, no wonder sneijder is pissed... wtf are we gonna do next season? milan is much stronger as us. even napoli and juve are slowly getting better...
