Thought we played well. We should of created more passing opportunities. We tend to pass east-west versus north-south.

We won't face another team that presses like ATM. That was one amazing match to watch. Haven't seen a team in awhile that collectively play together like they did tonight.

Yeah, Llorente has been terrible this year. Morata's been given 5 minutes at a time. If they give the kid some time, maybe he'll get into form for the next game.

What we really need are some attacking mfs/wingers...

It gives us so many more options...
Coman is a possibility...if you're Lazio

For a team that's going to compete in all 3 major competitions, you're going to need a talented left-footed attacking MF and a right-footed one.

On the left we could probably make due with Giovinco/Coman (albeit that wouldn't be ideal), but on the right? I don't think we have one left-footed attacker. That's a glaring hole.

The team needs to invest in world class attackers. Midfield is undoubtedly important but when you have:
Vidal, Pogba, Asamoah, Marchisio, Pirlo, Pereyra, Romulo who all play the same position as their primary position, its time to re-evaluate.

Juventus financially is in ok shape, they can buy a couple of players.

Hypothetically, let's say the team buys:
-Marco Reus
-Xherdan Shaqiri

Suddenly, you can effectively use any formation with wing play. It's time to save up the Euros and make 1-2 big transfers. If you have to sell Vidal or Marchisio, sell Vidal or Marchisio (I know people will hate me for this), but frankly, we have SO MANY CENTRAL MIDFIELDERS. It's actually pretty ridiculous. Between Pereyra, Pirlo, and Asamoah, we'll be ok. What we don't have are attacking midfielders, and it's a pretty important position.

As I posted before Evra putting in the game instead of Asamoah was a mistake.Both prior to conceding a goal and overall.I just don't think that Alegri will be stuborn as Conte in his player choices and and play always Evra insted of Asa.That would be ridiculus.

I didn't think we played well, we did what Atletico let us do well. But then some of the short passes and ball controls when we tried to do anything were just horrible.

I'll just add this: it was fucking pathetic to see some of our players laughing it up after FT.
that is one of the things that never happened during Conte era. He actually voiced it, saying: "What irritates me most is players smiling after a loss".

relax guys we lost against last year's LA Liga winners and a team that made CL finals last year and had a world class forward like Diego, we lost against a team than scored 4 goals against a CL winning Chelsea a couple of years ago, a world class team that destroyed LA Liga 10 years ago as well
