Inter - Napoli match was outstanding :bow:

everything about that game was exciting. Great resilience and heart by Inter to keep equalizing like that. I was impressed with Dodo and feel Inter would've deserved a win. Icardi really messed up his chance yesterday bounce

Most of them are insults towards easyjet (a particularly popular one is dickheads) followed by angry claims to never use easyjet again.

juventus fans celebrating yesterday rofl

roma has a way better chance of making it to the second round Laughing

by Juveman17 Wed Oct 22, 2014 9:58 pm

Nobody celebrated yesterday. I didn't feel any sympathy for Roma or their fans after the shit that came out of their camp after losing to us.

We can still make it out of the group we play Olympiakos and Atletico at home while Malmo is away.

CL DNA and all that good stuff :coffee:

Problem with 3-5-2, is that being correlational to Allegri's preference for possession and slow build-up from the midfield, it does not possess the characteristics to succeed in a CL which requires a more simple, direct and streamlined system. Pace, width, vectors and what not are needed within Europe as what does not work in Serie A for Juve, has proven to work for them in Europe as Conte failed to make that distinction; resulting in his demise vs Bayern and in the group stages 2nd year. Allegri who HAS actually made a number of distinct differences tactically, is also failing to realize that. Not only the 3-5-2 has limited strikers such as Àlvaro Morata and Llorente due to it being incongruent for them, it simply cannot work within this group.

Allegri cannot be at fault tonight aside from the decision to bench their player of the season (so far) in Marchisio for an unfit Pirlo.

Solace for Juve is that Roberto single-handedly made miraculous saves to stop at least 4 clear cut chances for goals. Along with facing Atleti and Olympiakos at home are incredibly tough tasks, the latter being highly overlooked as well.

Haters are gonna hate brother

Juventus sucks again Proud

At least this should put the Morata vs. Llorente debate on the back burner for a few moments. As if this change was ever going to make a substantial difference in the play of the team.

I think Lichtsteiner is finished, every time I see him run down the right wing I think it might be his last run, ever.

The trio of defence of Chiellini, Bonucci and Ogbonna reminds me of the modern day three stooges, which leaves me wondering who will make the first mistake, see Bonucci vs Sassuolo-- but I have to say I love Chiellini and Ogbonna and Bonucci haven't been horrendous.

For the life of me I will not understand why the 3-5-2 is preferred to any other formation. I would have no problem with it if it was actually a 3-5-2, but it's really a 5-3-2, which is really, just ugly.

Bring beauty back to Torino

by elm_baraja_shaman Wed Oct 22, 2014 10:32 pm

as long as Allegri clings to 3-5-2 (which is what he will do forever in the hopes of saving his job) we will continue to see these kind of results in Europe, but luckily his Conte-like stubbornness in clinging t the 3-5-2 instead of a 4-3-3 is what will will end his stay with us, by December if we don't make it past the group stage, he won't be with us next season for sure Proud

time to hire someone who wants to use the attackers we have instead of banking on defenders to hound crosses into the penalty box of the opposition.... Laughing

by farfan Wed Oct 22, 2014 10:36 pm

why isnt he using that 4-4-2 wingless formation from his milan days ? Laughing

he had some good results with it but the fans were crying for a change .

Not being pedantic but that was closer to a 4-1-2-1-2 diamond. Juventus don't have the players to do that considering Max used a Trequartista there along with a midfield held only to anchor the midfield to which Juventus do not use.

His formation throughout his final years in Milan changed into a 4-3-3 post-Ibra, this formation in particular would make more sense in utilizing Vidal-Pirlo-Marchisio and bringing the best out of Llorente.

In the final 15 minutes tonight, Juventus used a 4-2-3-1 which made an immediate difference, and has many times in Europe but both Conte and Allegri have failed to stick upon it.

by Robespierre Wed Oct 22, 2014 10:41 pm

Juve did 102 points last year with this system and so he couldn't the courage to change it because it was a system who works, a system who guarantees a good solidity of results

Anyway I think the matter about the setting is a bit overrated.

I mean , Juve didn't lose today for this , awful attitude fo 70 minutes and Juve woke up just in last 20 minutes against a great Roberto. It was matter of attitude, matter of mentality , nothing to do with " 3 defenders, 5 midfielders, 2 CFs " ...

exactly

and anyway romanesco makes all more special , basically just who is italian or talks the italian can understand it.
it a dialect so particular and "tunable" to be suitable for insults.

Juve losing does the league no favors so I can't say I'm happy about that.

Now we have to depend on our EL contingent, who appear to take that tourney rather seriously.

by Lupi Fri Oct 24, 2014 6:36 am

After the game against juve i figured our chances for scudetto is below 0 so actually i enjoyed them losing partly for pleasure of my prediction coming true. it will be better if they fail to progress from group stage and we get through. I take that extra CL fund ahead of anything else.
what did they do with them being 3 years in CL ? buying moratta, and evra? and arrogant enough to criticize other teams spending. I cant forget when conte said juve has the money to spend but they don't. give that extra cash to sabatini and let him do the job.

Lol exactly. Allegri got knocked out by Spurs in the R16 and was the first coach to see his side get knocked out after a 2-0 win in the first leg in the knockout stage.

Can someone explain why Chiellini hasn't renewed yet? Isn't he a free agent in January?

by Robespierre Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:43 am

According Sky Italy ( listened this 2 days ago) for Chiellini 's renewal is all done , there is agreement on all , it misses just the signature but it is just a formality, it will be soon announced

in this regard, Pogba has signed today a renewal with Juve till to 2019.
