Is it just me that thinks against lesser opponents we should play with two strikers and drop one of the midfielders? Dare I say it, like Juventus' formation?

Handanovic

Campagnaro Samuel Juan

Jonathan Guarin Cambiasso Nagatomo

Kovacic/Alvarez

Palacio Icardi​

like that for example?

I think we should only try that once Campagnaro is back, because cutting a midfielder would reduce the cover for the defense. I wouldn't mind seeing this against smaller teams at home:

Milito - Palacio
Alvarez
Nagatomo - Kovacic - Cambiasso - Jonathan
Juan - Samuel - Campagnaro
Handanovic​

Ideally though, I would be more comfortable with this formation when we have someone like Nainggolan in place of Kovacic.

So far this season, the backbone of our teams seems to be: Handanovic-Campagnaro-Cambiasso-Alvarez-Palacio

We could try to fit a few different formations around it, without disturbing the key roles of our backbone.

Not forgetting Guarin, but if Inter start with 2 strikers, it will be at his or Alvarez's expense. And I rather have Alvarez for the creativity...

But like I said, we are a top CM/DM short of playing this formation well (maybe Taider will grow into that role soon), and perhaps a LWB with good crossing ability.

That said, I am not as bothered as some with our 1 striker formation. Its working well, we have scored more goals than anyone else in Serie A so far... for now, its good enough.

Was going to be a dick all up in here like 'nice thread bro' n shit but I guess after all it is the 'games and tactics thread' I can't really do that. Even if the thread is 99.99% of the time regarding an upcoming match.

I didn't see last midweek game, when Samuel played, but I did see the 35 minutes he played against Udinese, and to be honest, I see Samuel more as a back up, maybe until he gets his form back...

I might be wrong but I was scared in that 35th minute, when he missed the clearance and Muriel almost scored (well, he shot instead of passing it to Di Natale who surely would have scored)

Besides, we need to see what's going to happen in this market, after all, fresh money is coming to the arcs of the team, and we might get one or two reinforcements...

One of Thoir statements was that we only have 3 wingbacks at our disposal (he never included Wallace) he mentioned Jonathan, Nagatomo and Pereira... So maybe he will reinforce one of the two wings, making our lineup even more stronger...

Still a waste of space. This can be discussed in the Mazzarri thread or the Ideal Lineups thread. No need for this.

I suggested the not allowing people with under 50 posts from making a new thread a few years ago.

ps: not suggesting you don't make a valid point ScotishInter97, just that there's already threads open which cover this.

I think Mazzarri is waiting for his defense to get more stable before he starts playing with another striker.

haha sorry lads...

as you can tell I'm new(ish) on the forum and I'm not quite sure of the 'etiquette' of the forum yet. I just thought for discussing tactics it would belong on the Games & Tactics thread?

We tend to not create new threads for this stuff, but, that doesn't mean you can't create them. Feel free to do so if you want to.

I would like to see Palacio and Icardi both in the starting line up but we have been winning with this formation so far so I wouldn't switch over just yet. Our defense is still unstable so an extra midfielder is helping in our defensive duties. Plus most of our strikers are not available as we are always faced with strikers injuries.

No. This thread will be closed and sent in the garbage can aka closed topics thread once Handoyo finishes taking a piss in the toilet.
