I think defense goes beyond just a CDM which I’m not sure would be helpful in this system. In man coverage if you are beaten that throws off the whole scheme. When Tomori anticipates a tackle and misses, his man is uncovered. When Reijnders doesn’t follow his man, the system fails. This system is too taxing with a Leao and Giroud. Teams are spreading us wide then sending a runner in the middle where the space is. It is very difficult to cover that.

Agree. I think the first (and best) step to solidity on th3 defensive front is a change in tactics rather than a change in personnel. Then, of course, more quality on the field will always be better. 

But, I've said this in the past and I'll say it again....with this absolutely insane defensive setup....we could have a back line of Tasotti, Costacurta, Baresi and Maldini protected by Rijkaard and Desalli........we will STILL leak goals and struggle.

that means a change in coach, no way pioli abandon the man marking system

Imo if Inter loses 2 or atleast 2 draws till Milan derby then there is good chance that we may come close to them but that still is distant dream better we focus on Europa imo

You mean the team that has only lost 1 out of 30 games, only need to lose 4 more? (out of 8 games)

sounds plausible.

No, currently my only slight hope in serie A is that Juventus choke so badly that Roma or Atalanta pass them in the table.
