It’s just Parma.

No it’s not. Parma are a tough team who have taken points off us in recent encounters. They also held Milan and Inter to draws. And given how many points we’ve dropped against lower ranked teams, this was a very important performance and result.

parma is a tough team usually, but it was their 3rd match in 6 days. they lack the depth and the routine for such a busy schedule. they were the softest team we faced for a while.

anyway, i don't want to spoil the fun, it really was a commanding performance, no complaint here, regardless of the opposition's form. let's hope we can build on this, and without the cl duties and stupid international breaks, we can actually start a winning streak finally.

I do expect the weaker teams to be especially bad this weekend due to having played 3 games in 7-8 days.

One of the biggest positives is that I think every single player is fully behind him. I'm not sure we've had that for the last ≈2 seasons.

Pirlo <3

pirlo play at it's best

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

It's all coming together.

 

[Bjerknes]

Glad he doesn’t seem to be the typical stubborn Italian. I like how he seemingly abandoned the they can only play in a midfield two rhetoric.

Not surpising there have been hiccups. Lack of pre-season, Covid, so many new, younger faces, so many old faces that had to be cleansed of Sarrismo, Pirlo has zero professional coaching experience.

But I have always felt this is going to come together. As I said before, I don't think Pirlo would've accepted the role of a stopgap.

The project has looked questionable at times but I have confidence in the man

Its funny how recently one of the big newspapers published that Pirlo was afraid to sub off Ronaldo, and today he did exactly that.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Pirlo said at the beginning of the season that Ronaldo would be rotated to manage his fitness and I don't imagine it will be an issue in Serie A. Have a feeling we won't see any rotation in the CL knockouts though

Unless we're absolutely cruising in a tie, I don't see how we could afford rotation in CL KO's.

Think it probably meant when he's playing badly like against Atalanta. Even then, a subdued CR can still change the game with one touch of the ball. He's had plenty of off-colour games that he still managed to grab goals and assists in.

Good decision to ditch back 3 formation.

Also there is plenty of gap between CL games in the knockouts- no need to rotate.

What is our record across all comps (and it’s total) in the Chester Cheeto kit btw

would love to see the break down by kit this season

 

[Amer]

Very good game.

Should have rested some players more though and didn't make the 5th sub.

 

[JuveJay]

We have a perfect record in the Cheeto kit in the 4 games we've used it scoring 14 and conceding 2 so it must be having some negative psychological effect on the opposition players . In comparison home kit record is 8-4-1 with 26-10 goals for and against (incl. Napoli result). Only worn the second kit once (draw) and that throwback pink kit once (draw).

All our players turn into John Cena when we wear it, no wonder it is so successful.

Keep it up Maestro. They all will start to believe

Keep it up Maestro. They all will start to believe

I think you are right ....the first Pirlo believers (maybe because of his thesis ) they should receive a prestigious recognition for getting that right

 

[edgardavids2608]

Im not sold on him yet nor was I ever doubting him. We will start to see a few things at the beginning of the year.
1. Can we put bads teams away and be clinical against a low block.
2. Can we tighten the defensive break up-
3. Can we dominate the spaces like we did against better teams?

 

[Hust]

three of our four goals came from crosses

We have the best defense wit 10 conceded. lol 6 draws is crazy. We are starting to sort this stuff out so that's good. We are starting to fire on all cylinders and our defense is looking solid.

If we can add Pogba and boost our midfield then Serie A should be down hill. Get Arthur, Dybala & Demiral back from injury will be helpful too.

So many delusional fans here. Wanting his head after only 10 games. Lol
