I don't mind the lineup at all. If we had gotten that corner, Napoli would never get a PK 
Anyways.. De Sanctis had three great saves. One on Marchisio, Pepe and Vucinic. The match could have gone either way.. We didn't show up with the right mentality, but we were unlucky imo.
The coppa was for the players that didn't play much/reserves. It would be hypocritical to play our 100% best players in the final.
Thanks to Antonio Conte and the rest of the team for an extraordinary season.

No one says Conte doesn't know what he's doing, everyone can be criticized for what the do.
Conte had a major part in our Scudetto, and we are greatfull and know that, that doesn't mean i have to be happy when i see Boriello on the field, i can judge him, that's how football is.
And it's not like saying why did he play Esti or someone else, cause that has some sense, more defensive work etc etc.
But choosing Boriello over others, makes none, and he gave him tons of minutes to prove his worth and he didn't, yet he starts in the final, i get not using Vucinic since he said he'll play second string players, but he could've played Quags or Matri instead.

sadly we also saw that we need more new players than originally thought =(
we need a striker and cavani is certainly not good (or lets say clinical) enough.
he squandered high profile chances against us and probably will do often. i guess he did just score that often because he gets a ton of passes in napolis system. i am all for higuan if he is anyhow obtainable.
we need a centre midfielder of quality to fit into a spot of pirlo/marchisio/vidal
and we dearly need a centre back + left back because you saw how bad we were just because of the injuries of chiellini and de ceglie.
we only can fix a maximum of two of those 4 positions with quality i fear.
it is really a gamble because we can not expect to be this lucky with injuries again next season so what will be the most important thing to fix ?
i guess a striker and a defender is what we need most. we can do in midfield with giaccherini and pepe as vice centre midfielders.

This will be controversial, but at least Borriello started in a few big matches down the scudetto stretch. If you look at our regulars in the starting Serie A matches in the final scudetto run, a better question would be, "Why Alex Del Piero?" But that would be a political bomb here. 
Not that I would ever support starting Borriello and not starting Del Piero. But if you're going to complain about inconsistencies in his starting line-up choices, Del Piero is the one that sticks out more than Borriello given Conte's track record.

We just didn't want to win this. Conte didn't even bother.
Yeah Lion and Cronios, let's hate on Conte
He truly deserves alot of criticism after this terrible season! Especially after losing out on the glorious coppa italia trophy!
Can't believe we hired this guy. Playing strikers that had impressed him more in training than others, what was he thinking?
He even let a soon to be 38 year old Del Piero play for more than an hour. Outrageous!

i now get all his at the time bizzare decisions throughout the season. the sticking with 3-5-2 despite it not working, until it actually worked was genius on his part. it now gives us more than one formation to fall back on (352/424/433) and makes it a tactical nightmare for coaches to counter against.
the trust in bonucci, in the last 10 games or so he turned from a complete liability to our best defender.
the purchase of guys like padion and giach.
all this i understand.
but the obession with boriello is truly bizzare. i could completely understand if boriello was this great striker that had faded in the past 2-3 years and conte was trying to restore him to former glory, but the fact is boriello is completely mediocre striker that is riding on the success of that one season in genoa where he scored lots of goals (which i think 7 or 8 were penalties anyway) i don't understand this at all.
it's even more bizzare when he has guys like vucinic and matri available
p.s conte is not del piero, therefore he is never exempt from criticism
