Good thought everyone.

Dev, me and you have long been advocates of pushing Pirlo closer to the opponents goal. But the other problem in Milan, like it's been said here times and times before, is the movement around him. But that's another discussion.

For this weekend I'd like to see him with more freedom and playing in front of Flamini - Ambrosini. Against Livorno we won't need too much cover in front of our goal, but only good tactical set up so we have numbers in the back whenever they choose to attack. Flamini-Ambro can cover well so Pirlo can move freely forward and be closer to the opponents' box. Put Dinho and Pato on the flanks to spread the Livorno defense and leave Klaas in the middle to be fed with balls. We will get our width from Dinho and Pato, since our fullbacks are useless.

So

----------------------Storari----------------

Antonini - Onyewu/Favalli - Thiago - Zambrota

-----------Flamini-----------Ambrosini--------

---------------------Pirlo--------------------

---Pato----------------------------Dinho----

----------------Huntelaar--------------------

I know this is taking Pato's shot somewhat away (Mrki), but the kid can be lethal with both legs. In any case.......right now our fullbacks offer nothing in terms of width, so everyone needs to make a sucrifice so we can see how this is going to work out. Dinho is not what he was and he wont burn players on the wing, but again, it'll give us width on that side and we'll se how it works out. At the end of the day....it's not like he'll be nailed to the touchline. He can still move in and get closer to Pirlo.

I choose Onyewu/Favalli over Nesta since we're going to have a CL game midweek that we'll need Nesta to play. And I choose Antonini instead of Janku.....................actually, I don't need to explain there.

So call this a 4-3-3, call it a 4-2-3-1, call it a 4-2-1-2-1. Call it whatever you want, but we need to spread out the play AND be dangerous at the same time. With Janku and Zambro we do spread out the play sometimes but we are never dangerous because they can't mange to do anything when in possesion.....or what they do manage to do is too few and far between. We can also use Pirlo closer to the goal, because we are wasting him by keeping him 5meters away from the CBs expecially against a team like Livorno. There is no need for that.

Hopefully we'll get back on track with a couple of wins this comming week so we can jumpstart our season again.
