Got to laugh at folk claiming we were lucky last season.
We were excellent against Chelsea and punished them. Celtic was almost the perfect European game from us, we were clinical and punished them without exposing ourselves which when you look at some of their home results was excellent.
Bayern beat us soundly but look at how they completely ripped Barca apart and put that in to perspective.
This year in the Champions League I can accept expectations were higher and it was disappointing but Gala have bought extremely cleverly with Schneider and Drogba European cup winners, Melo and Eboue adding European experience. Add in a manager who was desperate to prove a point to Italian football.
We as a squad only have a couple of players with vast European experience, the likes of Chiellini, Marchisio even Tevez haven't experienced the business end of the European cup and despite their experiences don't have that know how.....same goes for Conte, every year is a learning process

Exactly
What they have done?. Maybe building up a very good team full of champions and great players like pogba and Vidal. A team which can give a lot more than what they are giving. Maybe not CL winners worthy.... but with alittle luck, something on those lines.
Try to spin it all what u want....our latest performances are nothing short of embarrasing. Ill admit that yesterday we almst got robbed and won anyways so kuudos to the lads..... but since some good time now...i always end everygame feeling that we coukd have done much more... with the players and the quality we have.

We all agree that we should have done better in CL this season and EL performances until now have left a lot to be desired, too.
But, some of the posts here, seriously WTF? One would think we are in 7th place again.
We are chasing record after record in Serie A, even in one of the worst games vs Genoa we managed to win and still had a clear goal disallowed and a penalty not given. Do people expect us to dominate every game and cruise over teams?
The only thing Conte and this team need to do is believe in them selves in Europe, and be able to up the tempo when it's needed the most like we do in the league vs Napoli, Roma and co.

We should be happy that we are bout to conquer our 3rd consecutive Scudetto, and in the process potentially break the 100 point barrier. That last objective is far more important than winning the EL.
