- This was 4th Coppa Italia win in a row for Pandev. He won it in 2009 with Lazio, in 2010 and 2011 with Inter and in 2012 with Napoli - Hamsik scored his 6th goal against us. Nobody scored more against Juve post Calciopoli. - The other players who scored a lot against Juve after Calciopoli...

And he was unlucky that it had to be Lavezzi of all people. Storari was gonna get first to that ball if it was anyone else from Napoli but Lavezzi.

Absolutely. But I'm not sure if we can call it sentimentality. Conte was simply protecting his own skin :D Just imagine what was gonna happen if he didn't start Del Piero. Even more, if he didn't start DP and we lost. I won't blame Conte for that. I was gonna do the very same thing he did.

When we bought him I thought that the dribbling is Esti's best quality. I saw him dribbling the shit out of Maicon in Coppa America, but he fooled me. The mofo really can't dribble :D

Nobody cares what Storari wants. It was about Conte and the way he handled Del Piero. In order to calm the Juve fans to some degree, he gave the word that some players will at least get to play the Coppa. Here he meant Del Piero, but couldn't just say "Hey Ale, I will give you petty minutes in...

Yeah. Hamsik chased Pirlo wherever he went and that was a big problem for our play, but even without that aspect, we just didn't have it tonight and Napoli were obviously hungrier for the win. I hold this against our players and even Conte. The hunger to prove ourselves was our driving force...

He has everything to do with it. If Del Piero wasn't a Juve player this year, Storari wasn't gonna get to play even in the Coppa, just like Manninger.

Well, if Conte didn't start Storari, then why would he start Del Piero? They went in a package. The pressure was big to play Del Piero this year. Conte handled it well, but had to give him at least the Coppa. Then a story was created how some players need to get playing time, how the Coppa is...

FFS people, this wasn't a "Coppa team". If it was Giaccherini should have started because he was a regular in the Coppa. Conte simply couldn't allow not to play Del Piero. And it's Del Piero's presence in the first team that resulted with all the other decisions (Storari instead of Buffon and...

And why didn't Conte play Pepe for Esti and Quag/Matri for Borri? If he thought those would do better, he had no reason not to play them. Pepe wasn't really gonna give more than Esti in a 3-5-2 as a wingback. In a 4-3-3 yes, but not in a 3-5-2. As for Borri vs Matri/Quag, Borriello was the...

Yup, same thinking here. We weren't gonna play 4-3-3 because of Del Piero. It was clear that we'll play 3-5-2. In such situation we had no other choices in defense and midfield (Esti was defo gonna be the preferred wingback to Giac and Pepe) and the only chances if we played the "best available"...

Those of you who complain about not playing our best team....are you aware that if Conte was choosing the best available, he was gonna play these same guys, minus Del Piero and Storari? Buffon and Vucinic would have played instead of those two and the rest were gonna be the same.

And I'm not at all. Really strange. Shame though for the undefeated record. It only stays for the league. Oh, and hopefully we won't see this same starting line-up anymore. I mean, we certainly won't due to DP's departure, but I also want not to see all of Borriello, Caceres, Estigarribia...
