It's a big problem and i don't think it's a coincidence anymore. I believe the other coaches are aware of that and teams keep attacking our right side where Grygera and Mellberg play.
You don't even need to look at the many situations that didn't result with a goal when Grygera and Mellberg (especially Zdenek) played the opponents onside. Just take a look at all the goals we conceded after Christmas. All of them, without exception, either came from the right side, or our players who cover the right side were outjumped in the box.
Actually, i doubt Grygera forgot how to play the offside trap just like that. It has much more to do with Chiellini's absence. With Chiellini our defense is Grygera-Legro on the right side and Chiellini-Molinaro on the left side. It worked really well.
Without Giorgio, Legrottaglie changed his position in central defense from the right to the left (exactly after this Legro started playing awful again) and now he plays on Molinaro's side, while Grygera is getting a new partner in Mellberg.
Legro and his partner play the offside trap well (maybe that's the reason why Molinaro is not the one who's playing the opponents onside anymore? Maybe it's because he plays next to Legro and he follows Legro in defense during the offside trap setting up. Maybe that's also the reason why Grygera wasn't doing these mistakes while playing next to Legro?) but the other side, where Legro doesn't play, is a problem.
Could this be the reason why is Grygera so bad now and why Molinaro suddently improved?

Buffon-Manninger-Chimenti
Molinaro-De Ceglie
Chiellini-Criscito
Legrottaglie-Mellberg-Knezevic-Andrade
Grygera-Zebina
Nedved-Giovinco
Tiago-Marchisio
Sissoko-Poulsen-Zanetti
Camoranesi-Marchionni-Salihamidzic
Del Piero-Iaquinta
Amauri-Trezeguet
2 players for each position on a 4-4-2 formation which was our plan when we returned to serie a + some more options
except from Criscito i cant predict who else will come back(really doubt about Almiron)maybe Lanzafame or Pasquato but they most probably be given as exchange deals in our potential new signings.
now obviously we need someone in the right back position because grygera is so as solid as we want him to be and zebina is just useless whether he will be fit again or not.
andrade and knezevic will leave and a potentially new back up cb could be on the cards(see Stendardo)
NOW TO THE REAL DEAL:i dont mind if we keep Neddy for one more year as long as we use him less than we actually do all this season
so,play Gio more in the left wing and sign one of Ribery,Silva,Diego,Cassano
Diego cannot adapt to our formation as left winger
Ribery is way too expensive
Silva is a good solution although many spaniards failed in serie a
Cassano (and Gio too) can act as cover either to the left wing or as back up tp DP+he is italian talented and cheaper than Ribery or Silva
Molinaro-De Ceglie
Chiellini-Criscito
Legrottaglie-Mellberg-Knezevic-Andrade
Grygera-Zebina

Did I hear Eboue? That Eboue from Arsenal? The guy who has got the intelligence of a hamster? I hope he never comes to Juve, he better stays away and continue screwing up Arsenal. Tiago is useless piece of...of...you know what. So is Grygera and so is Zebina. Right back is a must, left winger/midfielder too. I'd rather have one or two quality signings than 5-6 mediocre chaps like Tiago, Almiron and the rest. In fact Marchisio has been doing much better than Thiago and Almiron, De Ceglie will be far more valuable than Salihamjic and Molinaro, so this is the right path. Two quality signings or even one, and have more faith in youngsters.
Well I know that the only way to prevent signing useless players is Secco to be "accidentally" hit by a road-roller on the Torino streets, but I'd rather have De Ceglie and Marchisio-like players than Tiago or Almiron, who cost the club as the GDP of the entire Somalia or Kenya is.
The next transfer window will be very important for Juve for sure. My point was be careful with the budget and no more Tiagos and Boumsongs please.

True, but unfortunately players such as Tiago, Boumsong (glad he left), Zebina, Hasan Sal won't make you champions even if they drink the magical potion of Asterix and Obelix all the time. It's the good management that makes you a champion. Do you remember that phenomenal team with Conte, Torricelli, Ferrara, Padovano that conquered Europe and the world? Yes, they weren't the best individuals but they were hard workers and great professionals. Couldn't say the same thing for that bald head pirate Almiron or that girl Tiago
