Please please please please please please please please please please I hope this shows to Marotta and Conte that we need at least 4 more players...solid LB, true LW, leader-type CB and very good or WC SS (Rossi or Aguero).

At least we have Vidal now who can cover pretty much any situation if necessary besides GK, I'm sure he could play RB in an emergency while Marchisio or Pazienza joins Pirlo in CM.

Another CM would be nice as well.

I agree with all of you. This is really disappointing, anyway I'll try to cheer you guys up.

AVB, porto's manager and current Chelsea manager lost his preseason games but then managed to win the triple !
And seriously, by all means..let's experiment now, I'd rather we lose allllll our games so our board realizes we still need key players in our squad. If we won that much who knows what Marotta would think ? OH ok so we won ? our squad is fiiine..
Now Conte established that NO we can't put Marchisio on the wing, Vidal was indeed a much needed signing in the midfield without Melo, we need a CB, quality LB and a consistent striker. Let's go for the best of the best please. Let's go in debt I don't care :p

I really liked our youth players ! How's that for depth ! our youth system is producing good players for once :(
Last season on several occasions it was proven that Marchisio is not to be placed on the wing, Del Neri saw it and I am sure Conte as well saw it and many many others saw it too yet we are still seeing him on the wing. It's like they think if we keep on playing him on the wing he'll eventually become a winger.

we have no proper LW yet, so what was Conte supposed to do? If we don't sign a LW before the window closes an Conte uses Marchisio as a LW in the season, then we have a platform to slate him, but until then I won't take much notice of this match.

LOL.. yes I don't get it either !!!!!! Maybe he's the one asking to be played there after all


Btw guys, sporting is not a small team there. Now with Benfica's decline it's probably the 2nd best side.

If Conte doesn't get at least two new quality players in offense, I think he'll have a hard time achieving success. He needs atleast one creative winger(Mata for example) and a creative striker as well.

And we don't intend to buy a proper LW, we are going to spend the entire budget in fucking Grossi, we are trying to get Vucinic for the left or we will be stuck with either Marchisio or Quagliarella there.

Conte: 'Juve have work to do'

Antonio Conte is not swayed by the disappointing Juventus defeat to Sporting Lisbon. “We’ve got to grow and rediscover our self-esteem.”

The Bianconeri lost the opening game of their North American tour last night, 2-1 in Toronto, with Alessandro Del Piero netting a late consolation goal.

“We couldn’t bring the intensity we wanted, but let’s not forget yesterday in 42 degrees we had a heavy fitness training session,” commented the Coach.

“We’ve got to grow and some players need to rediscover their self-esteem, because after two difficult years it’s inevitable that we must rebuild confidence.

“I liked the effort put in by everyone and the passionate reaction of the second half, because nobody was prepared to lose. Mind you, if we didn’t want to risk defeat, then we’d stick to playing amateur teams at this stage of the season.

“We should welcome these international games, even against a side like Sporting Lisbon who are already in shape for the Champions League preliminary round. We’ve got to keep pushing ourselves, because there’s a lot of work to do.”

Dude, it's really not about the final result. It's more about how sucky we were on the pitch.

there was no connection between the three lines at all, who ever get the ball would find himself surrounded by only opponents
I'd say the four.

Defense
Central midfield
Wide midfield
Attack
