No Quagliarella? Pretty unispiring stuff.

So you would set up exactly the same way to play against a shit team, who would have no intention of putting all their players behind the ball and desperately hoping for a 0-0 or to pinch a goal on the break, as you would against Barcelona, who would dominate territory and possession? Stopping...

I wouldn't expect anything else from such a dope.

You still need to add that he has had two great seasons in his career.

That's not how I remember it. When Delneri first joined he said he thought Trezeguet-Diego was his best front two. I got the impression Delneri had a fairly limited say on Juve's mercato, other than it being clear he wanted to play 4-4-2. Entirely possible my memory is playing tricks on me...

It's not about ball playing. I like a CB pairing to consist of one player who looks to move forward and attack the ball and one who looks to cover round and almost play sweeper. Chiellini and Vidic are both best when they can go forward and attack the ball. Chiellini was best when playing...

They'd be too similar and it would be unbalanced.

I don't know about worse, but I really don't rate Leonardo. He doesn't seem to make any effort to organise his team or set them out with a plan. He just puts out some good players and hopes that is enough to win games (and at Milan and Inter, that is enough to win most games).

Conte gets paid to be a coach. Therefore he is a professional coach. Therefore your claim he is an amateur coach is not a fact.

I wouldn't support the decision to appoint you, because you have no track record. As soon as you were in the position, I would go with an open mind until I saw what you could do, while hoping you did well. In the same way I don't hold anything against Pepe because other people made a poor...

But saying that he has to earn your support suggests you aren't going to wish him well until he starts to do well, if you know what I mean.

That's an odd approach. Why not say you hope he does well, but he probably won't?

All might still have been okay if the players had fought the way that smaller teams players often do, to make up for a lack of ability. Instead, too many wander around aimlessly and don't concentrate.

Yeah, I don't see Pirlo being a success in a two-man midfield. But then again, I don't expect thinking that logical when it comes to the combination of new manager and new players.

Enough balls to stand up to Marotta and demand certain signings? One can only hope.
