I give it up to Cronios though. That motherf***er has to be the best troll that I have ever seen.

What do you mean about Melo, that he lacks character or does not fits in the plans Contes has for our team?
Maybe too defensive, too one dimensional? What exactly Melo cant offer that Marchisio or even worse Piacenza can?

Character. Petulance, arrogance, emo, etc all from someone who never won ****.

Conte has made it clear he wants a team that will shape to his will, not the other way around. That's why he wasn't so praising of Pirlo when we signed him, why he put down Ziegler when Zig thought he would be guaranteed a start, why he picked out Giac as his 'ethic avatar' for the team, Why he vetoed ready made players like Vargas/Bastos who would come as entitled starters.

Conte knows he doesn't have the 'world status' of a Fergie, Mou etc so he can't risk egos like Melo fkng the fabric he's trying to create.

Marchisio is completely irrelevant.

Am I the only who sees a bit of Manchester United in this Juve? I mean the playing style... we have the possession but we don't play like Barca. To me it looks like a minor Manure, like a balanced squad with strong players and with everyone who fights.

I love it.

As in we press a lot, especially towards the end of the game.

It's a little different as their wings actually offer a lot of danger while most of our opportunities come only from Pirlo.

 

[Fake Melo]

Is it just me or does the team try to play faster than they can at times?

They seem to get overexcited and loses possession.

Yes they do but it's a key part of plan. The aim is top 3 and while the other squads may have the advantage in top end player quality... Juve has an advantage in age/speed/squad size and it's vital that they make use of this.

You won't see another team in serie a this year get 82% pos. with 10 men. It's also the perfect method to make this team a European power again.

Just remember Udinese lost their first 5 games and then finished the last season the most in-form team.

82% still amazes me

 

[Fake Melo]

Was it 82% or 62%?

No way it's 82%

To me looks like Conte combines anything he can find that he likes. Conte had already said in an interview that he watched a lot of European football matches, including Barca and MU.
You can find a little bit of Barca's beautiful link-up play and United's neat organized play in there.

No way it's 82%

It could be 82% for 2nd half, Juve controlled the game more compared to 1st half. The last minutes it's always Juve on the attack.

 

[AndreaCristiano]

It was 82% in the second half

 

[Fake Melo]

Pretty sure it was 60-62% in 2nd half.

 

[Cheesio]

It was 82% in the second half

Barca in the 3/4 years of dominance had rarely games with 80% possession . I don't beleive that Juve had 82% in the second half

 

[MikeM]

Well there's no way Bologna had 38% possession. Keep in mind we had like 5 corners in a row at one point. That's like 5 minutes straight with the ball.

Well that's what they showed

overview, and even a comparison with Del Neri.

 

[AndreaCristiano]

Pretty sure it was 60-62% in 2nd half.

Umm. That's 122% total how does that work?

 

[Fake Melo]

Umm. That's 122% total how does that work?

Between 60-62% for us.

I believe that we're just trying to play like the dominant Juve of the late 90s. With grit and determination and the refusal to lose a match. The same Juventus that Manchester United strived to be like.
