    We should invest in a LB and a decent CM so we have plenty of rotation options and in a 433 our midfield could remain fresh as opposed to now where we are running the same few mids into the ground

    That's one thing I've considered before, maybe Conte works the team too hard. So, so many other clubs put their strongest line-up out across 2 or even 3 competitions, the way we talk in press conferences you would think that anything more than a game every 7 days is far too much Maybe it...

    The thing is, in games like yesterday we showed we can take the game to inferior opposition. Then we score and all of a sudden we cant string 2 passes together and are scared to exit our own half Why the hell are we letting inferior, injury plagued teams come to Turin and pin us back as if...

    We were a lot more unpredictable then. Not to mention we got to play Celtic who were too awful to overcome our defensive plan. As soon as we faced Bayern we were less of an offensive threat to them than your average relegation candidate in Germany. We sat back as they had their way with us...

    Yeah mentality is our biggest issue. Sadly I don't see that ever changing with an Italian coach.

    There is nothing smart about defending a 1 goal lead so early on. Especially in Europe against an inferior team at home. You want to get as big of a lead as possible. Look at the other top clubs in Europe. Imagine Madrid sitting back against Malaga at home after an early goal :lol: Same...

    Yep, we've seen the same mentality cost us numerous times already. The whole 'it's a one-off, we'll simply play better next time' standpoint is no longer valid. We might go through, but we certainly won't if we score first and sit back again. I swear the better we start, the worse we finish...

    If there's one thing worse than a person who doesn't learn from their mistakes, it's a person who makes the same mistake regularly and is under the impression he's not making any

    We need to stop shopping for players in Italy who are over 22.

    I wouldn't mind this approach is we were geared towards it If we had a proper holding midfielder in place of Pirlo, 2 dynamic, energetic Wingers and maybe another CB who was very comfortable on the ball then it could work Right now we're trying to force our team to do something that they...

    Defending a 1-0 lead at home to an injury crippled team 4 places below us in the league :lol: This mentality is a cancer.

    [Europa League] JUVENTUS 1-1 fiorentina (March 13th 2014)

    We repeat our mistakes on almost a weekly basis I'll say it again, we've dominated Serie A because teams see 'Juve' on the fixture list and refuse to step out of their own halves in fear. If a team really gets at us, no matter how average they are, we are helpless and resign to playing 5-3-2...

    3 CBs, a slow Regista, strikers who can't dribble and our 2 wing-backs are pegged back in line with our 3 CBS Us playing counter attacking football is like Barca deciding to sit back and long ball it to Messi.

    [Europa League] JUVENTUS 1-1 fiorentina (March 13th 2014)

    We can't counter, and we base our entire gameplan around countering Our team collectively is slow as fk, awful at dribbling and initiating counters. What happened to the Juve of 2011? Where we tried to control every game and pressed the shit out off our opposition These days unless you're a...

    Think we have to accept that Conte is incapable of learning from his mistakes, surely you'd need to see a plan backfire 2 maybe 3 times before putting it to one side and re-thinking How many games has this backfired for us now? More than 10, most of which are during cup competitions.

    Fiorentinas defence is shit on the best of days, they never even had a proper first team out. Instead of exploting their weakness, we once again let an INFERIOR team just attack us again and again and again. Who needs goals when you can sit back and park the bus for 75 minutes.

    It's not even a long-winded, complex problem.... We simply go out to games too defensive minded. And we try and protect 1-0 leads at home against inferior opposition Either Conte learns from his mistakes (He really should, considering this is the same gameplan that's failed us 95% of the time...

    Fio are putting out close to the best team they can tbh Gomez when he's fit and firing is 10x better than Matri, but he's not so Matri starts.

    It's not so much because Cuadrado is great, it's because Peluso is awful and Cuadrado is exactly the type of player who could destroy him Peluso is clumsy, he makes rash tackles and he's always a liability because he gets bookings all the time Cuadrado is pacey, he's direct, he's tricky and...
