Because we don't have a team plan.

Whenever any of our players get possession, there is nowhere near enough movement off the ball, and we suffer. No intelligence, no rhythm and no awareness. We need to learn what to do when we have the ball. And this is all basic stuff.
I agree, these are tactical issues though. I'm speaking purely about our physical preparedness.

We can't maintain a high tempo even with relatively static play. With more off the ball movement (more running), our players would be even more exhausted.

We need to work on everything atm.

Why the hell did the change it back from the 4-2-3-1? We scored like 12 goals in 3 games and we were building something good. He probably did that to accommodate Del Piero which we can see right now was the wrong decision.

Then I completely agree. I remember a few weeks back, Ancelotti saying about how brilliant the physical state of the Chelsea players were in comparison to what he expects, which gives an idea of how Italy is falling off.

The last sentence is completely spot on.

The physical condition of the EPL players is not smth entirely related to coaches only.
They have the best... "technology" atm, having 3xtimes the money of the rest really helps to create and retain an advantage at every level.

It took years for them to reach that status, i m surprised that ppl only started to realize that just now, it will also take many years to build a similar empire.
Italy, is def not in a position to threaten them!

Blanc basically said that we have a project and Ciro is apart of that :sergio:
Of course we have and it's pretty clear. We will become a Juventus family, a likeable society, with Lippi as director of sport, Ferrara, his apprentice, will be the coach until he fails to reach the Europa League qualifying spot, while Cannavaro will also become a director and Nedved will teach Primavera how to play football. Arcadia:dule:

It was all meant to be after WC, but Ranieri's failure accelerated the coach change by one year. The problem is, we won't win anything for years this way.

we get a real Coach, we can turn this shit around...the kind of talent we have in our team, it demands success
the talent should raise this night, that's why it's called talent. I've seen buffon..he is a real talent and i love him more after this game because of his saves and the risc he took to play today, and marchisio for that wonderful vision. Trez is well known for striking when you don't expect. Rest of them we're shit.

Hey I was already packing Leo's bags a couple months ago. But time (and results) changed my mindset. Just wait until the winter market and if there aren't any changes in squad/performance then boot his ass out.

it is extremely rare to have a team that is so gifted that the Manager's lack of ability can still be overcome...we do not have that level of talent, but it is certainly a damn good team, which should be challenging for the top honors

I disagree. Diego should stop defending and closing down on players and Del Piero was taken off at half time when he was having a decent game. You can't take out the captain and a legendary forward for the team when you're drawed at 1-1 and a DM comes in instead...

now really ahmed, what talent do we have? gk: wc no doubt, back: 1 wc (chiello), rest of them pathetic, no talent there, 0...mid: the more i'm seeing melo, the more i can't belive that the rats got that score for him, sissoko is indeed wc, marchisio is a bright young lad that would do good, and diego, maybe with a new coach, in rest we're poor, gio is a talent that can attack but can't defend. In attack we have talent in iq imo..he's better than amauri everyday. Dp is getting old and you can't really rely on him. Trezeguet is a talent but won't count on him the next year cuz he will leave.

So what to challenge with this team man ? cuz without sissoko and chiellini we're doomed ? I donno what to say anymore, maybe i'm to harsh.
