Honestly, I think our first priority should be to turn into a team that concedes a ton but scores even more, because with this squad (no matter who the coach is), I just don’t see the quality to play both sides of the game. For playing offensively, there’s definitely potential there.

I’ve always been one of those who loved Mourinho’s infamous “Football Heritage” rant at United. That’s exactly the mindset I wanted here: this season we build clear attacking schemes, next season we strengthen midfield and defense without touching the attack, and within two years we’ve got a squad that can seriously compete in every competition.
Instead? We’re watching Igor Tudor and his kamikaze brand of football where nobody knows what the hell is going on. Offensively strong? Yes. Defensively? About as reliable as a monkey holding a Kalashnikov.
And our goalkeeper concedes goals from distances where a handwritten letter would reach him faster. Our defensive shape is a joke, and if Bremer picks up another serious injury, just pack it up. Season over.

Speaking about this match specifically; Okay, Thuram and Bremer are gone, can we say “alright, X and Y step in, we’ll switch to this formation”? Nope. Why? Because we don’t have a single damn blueprint. We’re a team that lives off individual performances and halftime pump-up speeches.

Our biggest chance for tomorrow, is our name. We are Juventus, and maybe that will work against Villareal tomorrow...

I think as someone already pointed in the Tudor thread, he’s scared of his own offensive ideas. He’s such a risk-averse coach that at times you’re tricked into thinking his team is attack-minded, but his lineups always betray that. That’s exactly why players like Mario, an attacking wingback with shaky defensive instincts, will always be buried in the pecking order.
