First of all I blame Conte for choosing wrong formation. 3-5-2 doesn't work in Europe because we play too slow with it, we don't use whole pitch but just try to go through the middle with wooden Matri and outmuscled Giovinco in the attack. Classy teams use the whole width of the pitch. Another reason is that we don't have good enough wingers who can win 1vs1 which is vital in this system.

I'll say it 3rd time already: 4-3-3 in CL matches is the way to go. This way we're more balanced, we can put pressing higher on opponents and we can make use of wings. Also playing Giovinco in 3-5-2 is a bad idea. He's more of a winger with his strengths and weaknesses. Matri is useless in games that we don't dominate. We dominate Serie A with 3-5-2 but I guess 4-3-3 would do for us too. In Europe it makes huge difference.

Changes were made too late as for me.

As for me we don't really deserve to go through this group as for now. We lack clinical striker, we all know that. Now we have to do the maths to qualify which shouldn't really happen for a club like Juventus. It's not like we're in a group of death anyway.

Last season one of our strengths was using different formations and I don't understand why we don't use it anymore.

 

[Alen]

Done!

 

[Brujitas]

I dont blame the 3-5-2. I dont like it generaly, but it works for us. We can pass the ball quite well, we have some nice players in the flanks to play the whole pitch in the line , and it suits us to a certain level, I'm ok with it and Conte is doing a really good job with that formation.
I just dont see it's use tonight.

He's useless period. Even Trezeguet had more skills in general play than him.

We managed to turn it into a group of death, our death.

 

[Hust]

Im so fucking pissed. Keep the talentless chemo patient the fuck out of our starting 11. Matri needs to have his contract rescinded. Vuci and bendtner for every remaining game of the season.

lol

I was monkey chanting myself for paying good money to watch a bunch of uninspired pseudo footballers play in my jersey.

Did you meet up with anyone?

I think that the form of Asamoah as LWB and Pepe's injury are the main reasons why we are stick wit 3-5-2. Its been a while like this (Asa's form and Pepe's injury) and we had good results with it, so maybe Conte is affraid to change it to 4-3-3. Now when Pepe is back, im really curious to see if he will change it up a little.

 

[fredrik]

The header from Giovinco and the deflection were not, and will never be, ordinary saves.

hehehe the header was going in like 2km/h, weak as fuck. the def. was straight at the keeper.........

I'd have asked for my jersey back after the game, you'd have thought they could afford their own.

Except that this time it will be way to hard, nearly impossible I would say!

I suppose we need 7 points, which would mean a draw in Donetsk and win against Chelsea.

 

[Emmet]

the 3-5-2 isn't that effective when your wing backs don't do what they are there to do, i.e. put in good crosses and give the central midfielders options when the middle of the pitch gets congested. PDC was terrible and Isla is still rusty after being out for so long.

Bendtner deserves a start against Catania.

Get your head out of your ass. If Buffon had made those saves, you would have jizzed your pants. We're talking about a keeper that normally make Chimenti look world class.

 

[GrandeGigi]

- The ref was absolutely awful.
- Our forwards never really look likely to score.
- We played 3 centre backs against a relative nobody.
- The score is an embarrassment and we are going back to channel 5 again.
- Pissed.

 

[Linebreak]

One thing I will never understand is why we didn't go all out with our formation when we knew this was a must win if we were to progress in Europe.

Big fail tactics wise.

 

[mondo1]

Why did it take so long to bring in a 3rd striker?

 

[Nzoric]

Did you meet up with anyone?

Going out for coffe/lunch with Jack tomorrow. I was in such a pissy mood that I just headed right home after the game.

 

[delpiero4life]

De ceglie put in some great crosses he was far from bad. Vidal was again terrible, and I don't understand the Giovinco hate honestly he was great. Very lively and came close to scoring on many occasions

Exactly. It's not because our flanks didn't play good enough tonight, it's simply because they're not the right players to break down a defense of great great class. Both Isla and PDC are excellent crossers and plays with great stamina and determination but in one on ones they're not capable of breaking through. I believe a change in tactics should do the job and then for us to take more chances and play wider.

I attended this game and I was surprised by how many times Isla was completely unmarked - not even Pirlo saw him out there and believe me - if Isla was given the chance and told to do so he could have taken on the keeper several times in this game!

great

Vucinic was great, 20 min cameo. Better link up play, better movement, better finishing. That's a great performance. Bothing every chance you get for 90min is not a great performance, it's the opposite.
