I I’m far from being a fan of Pirlo’s tactics. He seems hell bent on this questionable formation despite not having the personnel to match it. Constantly playing guys out of position. We won’t see the best of guys like Arthur, Kulu, etc as they’re never in their correct spots. And also deploying guys like Mckennie on the wing when he’s at best a MF destroyer or B2B.
We lost the domination that we had in the first half. It's kinda sad we're relying on counters to play against Lazio.
We also had counters in the first half but in the second we played completely different game where counters were 95% of our play. Against Lazio? No thanks. I'd rather have a team/coach that shows balls rather than defense wall.

Sarri fan? Last year we played possession game here and lost. Actually we lost tvice in space of two weeks in the same manner. I prefer coach getting results. Style isnt important to me. The best Juve teams I recall played pragmatic football, 2 banks of four, closing down important areas, while having meaningful possesion. Pirlo is at least showing progress and that he can learn from his mistakes.
Let me be straight on this.
I'm not cutting Pirlo's head because of this game. I never liked the idea of hiring him in the first place. The whole idea of giving ex-players to lead teams with zero experience as a coach is horrible imo. Maybe not horrible for some mid-table teams but for somebody that's in a vital position as we are (not only chasing the CL but also rejuvenating the squad), hiring Pirlo makes zero sense. So far what we've seen from Juve is disappointing. Today's first half was best since he took over but that ain't enough if he's not bagging 3 points. Allegri or not I think we made a horrible decision with our coach selection. I LOVED Pirlo as a player but what we've seen so far is rather bad. I don't see much room for the improvement because we look quite fragile and weak defensively which was always our main strength. Firing him in January makes even less sense since it's a mid-season.

Over this Im not really in disagreement with you. The only explanation for hiring novice, was lack of ther viable solutions and reckoning that a great player Pirlo was once was, will be able to translate his knowledge on the pitch in a different role. He will certainly make mistakes along the way. But today I saw a glimpse of Allegri's Juve, very mature performance for 94 minutes. Then one incident made it all go away.
Imo that's like saying that reading Dostoevsky means possibility writing as good as him. It makes no sense.
We'll see what happens in the future but I expect nothing good. We'll see plenty of wins, surely, mainly because it's Juve and we have good players. But overall no, I think we'll get destroyed in Europe if we face top teams. Plus I'm not even confident about Serie A which was always granted for me, even with Sarri.

Pirlo's my MAN going forward. Euro football is so quick to make changes.It's like Jan 2021 means a new season starts so let's get a new coach. We're not even 20% into the serie season. And so far advancing in CL (Pirlo hasn't fuked that up) looks solid. Give me names of who can for SURE right this ship? Still will take time for new guy to do HIS thing and I believe Pirlo should be given the ENTIRE year.
He's one of our own and hopefully if he has a long career in managing, it's with Juve. Okay, so no doubt Pirlo wasn't qualified for this position but even the doubters need to give it more time! PATIENCE!
Give out coaches names available and have some discussion on it. And if this guy is mentioned .....

Except that analogy isnt good. Once a great player, now given reigns of the team as a coach. The same industry, the same guy, different role. The guy dictated our player during one of our more succesful periods so the expectations are high even if he lacks experience for a new role. That being said, we shouldnt lower our standards and only trophies will make it possible for Pirlo and Juve going forward with their relationship.
