    Winter Mercato 2015

    No. Ogbonna will play or Juve will play with a back four.

    Winter Mercato 2015

    :boh: Injuries/suspensions could dictate if Juve end up with few defenders available, but a full selection of midfielders/forwards. Alternatively, there could be a particular game where Allegri decides that it is essential to play with a back four.

    [ITA] Serie A 2014/2015

    I'd be interested to know exactly where the power lies in terms of Napoli's transfers. They could get away with signing mediocre players if those mediocre players were appropriate for the team/squad in terms of playing style, but they have put together a horribly unbalanced team/squad.

    [SCO] Scottish Premier league 2014/2015

    Good, comfortable win on Saturday, albeit against a very poor side. Langfield Logan-Taylor-Reynolds-Hayes McGinn-Flood-Jack-Pawlett Goodwillie-Rooney Changing to 4-4-2 was interesting. Normally our midfield is so strong that we dominate pretty much everyone and end up pushing...

    Fernando Llorente

    :tup: I'd play Morata against Cesena, but simply because Llorente is probably due a break after playing three games in a week.

    Carlos Tevez

    Tevez's deeper role is working very well so far. I always like getting talented players out of the crowd and in a position where they can get the ball facing goal, but that can involve moving them into areas where they are less likely to get in goal-scoring positions. But if you look at the...

    Which is why Allegri was correct to put Ogbonna on the right against Milan. People get far too hung up on sides when it comes to centre-halves. Style of play is far, far more important than whether you are playing on your theoretically stronger side. - - - Updated - - - Incidentally...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    I remember when people said that Conte couldn't be just until Juve lost a game or two when he started well in his first season. Presumably that meant people shouldn't have judged Conte positively for his unbeaten, Scudetto-winning first season.

    [Serie A] milan 0-1 JUVENTUS (September 20th 2014)

    Strong, controlled performance from Juve. Was never going to be an open, exciting game - unless one (or both) of the teams or coaches got things badly wrong. Milan had no interest in doing anything but waiting for counter-attacking chances; Juve weren't going to take risks to force things...

    He clearly can't wait for Real to make use of the buy-back clause.

    Gianluigi Buffon

    The thought has occurred to me that if I was an agent of a young player, I'd try to get him as highly rated as possible on the likes of Football Manager. It's amazing how long some nothing players have been remembered and considered prospects simply on the basis of them being given high...

    Nah, the fraud allegations just seem to relate to individual voters trying to impersonate other people in order to vore more than once. Well within the standard realms of dishonesty that I expect from Glaswegians, but nothing that is going to have a big effect on the outcome over the country at...

    They might be a little more focused once they winning it becomes a real possibilty (say if they make it to the last 16), but I wouldn't anticipate a different attitude prior to that. And the attitude later on may well still not change if they still have the chance to do something in Serie A...
