Juventus is struggling, and as anyone can imagine, this is probably the time when Luciano Spalletti is having sleepless nights as their manager. The gaffer has done his best, but in just one game when he was not on the touchline because of a ban, his team was well beaten by Lazio at home .
That 3-0 defeat hurts so much, as it showed that the players are not yet at the level he thought they had reached, and they continue to struggle for form. Juve is one of the top teams in the world, and they have to play better at home, so it is embarrassing that they could be beaten so badly by Lazio.
Spalletti has to find solutions, and Tuttomercatoweb says he is now thinking about changing his formation, and one of the main reasons is that he wants to accommodate Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade at the same time. The report says he is now thinking about trialling the 3-5-2 formation in his next game so that he can use both strikers, and that will also open up a chance for Lloyd Kelly to play more alongside Gleison Bremer and Jhon Lucumi at the back.
The proposed switch reflects the manager's willingness to adapt, and the need to find a system that gets the best out of his squad. Kolo Muani and Woltemade offer different qualities, and playing them together could add a new dimension. The defensive reshuffle is also a key part of the plan.

Juventus's struggles have put Spalletti under pressure, and the defeat to Lazio has intensified the scrutiny. The manager's ability to find the right formula will be crucial in the coming weeks. The fans' patience is wearing thin, and results must improve.
The 3-5-2 system could provide more balance, but it also carries risks. The wing-backs will have a lot of ground to cover, and the back three must be solid. The tactical tweak is a gamble, but one that could pay off.
Spalletti's experience will be vital in navigating this difficult period, and the players must respond. The club's expectations are high, and the manager knows what is required. The next match will be a test of the new approach.
