Bloody hell, why cant our injuries/disqualifications be spread out across the team more!? First all our defenders were unable to play CL, now we've lost three of our top 4 midfielders. If one of our strikers got injured, we wouldnt be having all these drama with Adri etc
Buying a player in January isnt really an option as no player who is upto the level we require will be allowed to leave, but we could go for a loan deal for someone. The other option is to play the diamond (Cambi/Vieira/Dacourt at DM, J.Zanetti, Jiminez, Stankovic at RM, Stankovic, Solari, Maxwell, Cesar at LM and Jiminez, Cesar, Stankovic or Solari playing at AMC), or play with two holding midfielders and two wingers. We do have reasonable depth to get us through for now, but hopefully by the time the knockout stages of the CL start most of the players are back.
Its a shame we lost Figo, hes's definately out best winger, but I think Capitano can step up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Jiminez can play on the wing too. Personally, I think the best way for us to play would be to switch to a 433 with Zanetti, Cambiasso and Stankovic in the midfield, and Jiminez playing deep to be the link between midfield and strikers. Takes some creative pressure off Ibra, and no one is really being played out of position.
