It's not that they weren't doing their best or not working hard. It's just that there isn't the player or two with really exceptional athleticism (Vidal and Lichtsteiner) to really power the team forward. There would be other ways to make space for Krasic if he was a more intelligent, more...

I actually think that suits Krasic. He needs as much space as possible and an attacking RB just closes down that space and drags more opposition players towards his area of the pitch.

Meh. Didn't offer much, even though much of his time on the pitch was against ten men. Can't imagine Conte will be feeling presured to find him a place in the team in the foreseeable future.

Unimpressive stuff. The second string, aside from technical failings, lack the energy and drive the first team has. It was all pretty sluggish. Lack of purposeful movement from midfielders and forwards and lack of Pirlo to move the ball around the pitch quickly enough to exploit any space...

Season ticket holders get into cup games for free*, so we'll see just how many of them bother to show up. ~11,500 have actually bought tickets for the game. *Lucky bastards. Only league games are covered by season tickets here.

Win-win situation for Juve, that. Those players don't play against Juve and they get a rest before playing Milan at the weekend. :wth: Cheap tickets for the Coppa or something?

You can't teach someone to have incredible athleticism like Lichtsteiner has. Sorensen is clearly a CB and will end up there sooner or later.

Yeah. Better to give Sorensen the chance to play than waste a place on a proven failure such as Motta.

Presumably.
