Today Conte has proved that he is a pawn, that he will favor mediocre Italians, in favor of better players, with better potential, that would give us even better performances and results...

A sad realization, but the pattern is now visible, since this is a 3rd game and we can now start noticing patterns to his plans and decisions.
Even in a midweek game,home, against opposition, one could risk a lot, he will not risk introducing a team with a bit less Italian blood, but more potential.

This will affect the foreigners of our club and the frustration will reflect on their performances.
To do well in Juve's jersey is irrelevant, unless you are Italian, there is no reason to try and do good, you will end up like Diego, or Melo...

Please stop with the comments about nationalistic favouritism. It is really absurd.
First game: 10 Italians, no Vucinic and Vidal for example.

2nd game: 9 Italians, no Vidal or Elia.

3rd game: 8 Italians, still no Vidal or Elia.

Now I'm not going to look too much into it but with this and the whole benching players because they don't know Italian is very strange to me. I've never heard about excellent foreign signings(Vidal) getting benched game after game because they don't know the language.

You're not making any sense, Cronios. Today, Conte used Lichtsteiner, Krasic, Vucinic and Vidal. 4 non-italians. How many do you wanna see out there? Do you want us to be "Internazionale" ?

His subs was spot on bar the Vidal one. We wanted Krasic to start, he started but he did nothing. Pepe and Giaccherini did better than him.
When Vidal came on I thought it was a good move as I thought we'd be playing 3 defenders and going for the win.

Then I realised he's playing LB and thought - you must be kidding me???

Just think back to last year when we went down to 10 men. Conte obviously inspires the players.
:agree:

Did he not drop Matri (Italian) and Giacherrini (Italian) for Vucinic (Montenegro) and Krasic (Serbian)?

wake up, i told you that the ItalJuve project is still our priority, after 3 games, you must stop denying the facts, just look at our roster and our options...
First was random? ok...
The second time a coincidence?? Passable...
But the third time, midweek?? C mon, its way too obvious atm...

I can't believe people are down on him after that performance tonight? My god. How often do you see a 10 man team play the whole half in the other team's side?
