I can't remember the last time I saw a game where one team dominated and $#@!d the other team so hard with only one point to show for it. Had we scored one of the 5 100% chances we had, everyone would be praising our game. I thought the boys were very good in every situation except for the finishing. Confident that we'll manage at least 2nd and it wouldn't suprise me if we took 1st place.

Tevez really needed to bag one of the two incredibly large chances he had, and Vidal had a subpar game - other than that I'm satisfied with the players.
How can you be satisfied with Chiellini's horror show?

Agreed. Players did okay-ish. It was the combination/team that went wrong

This forum never fails to amaze me, the amount of knee jerking is incredible :lol:

Ogbonna is shit! Conte doesn't know what he's doing! Pirlo should stop taking corners (despite the fact that they were almost ALL dangerous)! Drop the 3-5-2! The mercato wasn't good at all!
Conte fucked up bigtime, though. A more offensive approach on our part, and it would've been a rape.

We wasted alot of players defensively worrying about some hypothetical counterattacks by FCK that they didn't even have the skills to pull off.

Conte did fuck up this game
I have no idea who said pirlo should stop taking corners lmfao what the hell
we need to experiment with ohther formations, that is a fact, we have the most stubborn coach in the world
The mercato was decent

But Jem, we did rape them. I agree with Conte that sometimes the ball just won't go in. I mean, Tevez had two point blank chances, Vidal had a point blank, Chiellini with a header, Pogba with point blank. Lots of dangerous shots and a total annihilation of FCK in the second half. If our players, who are world class, could put the ball into the net with at least 50% efficiency from those chances the outcome of this match would've been staggering and we would've all been celebrating like mad. We just need a bit of perspective, that's all I'm asking for.

I'm very upset right now :sad:

But yes, fair enough.

We can learn some hard facts after this game.

- Llorente will not see any playing time with Conte, ever. We will never know exactly why. Probably not even Llorente knows why. Let's just hope Marotta can ship him away on loan in january and some team buy him for 12M in next mercato.

- Conte will NEVER give up his stubborn 3 CBs scheme. Never, ever, ever. Let's get used to it.

- The objetctive is clearly to win the League again. If we manage to reach 4 finals again, good.

- Our squad is very thin, considering Marrone and Giaccherini went away (even though Conte barely played Marrone, and he'd do it again this season) and Llorente is non existant.

- Conte has great qualities, but his stuborness is beyond words. World is not ending if he leaves Juventus at the end of the season. He complains a lot about the gap between Juve and European greats, but the fault is at him too, with his ultra conservative positions.

Having said that, I won't up my hopes this season. Serie A will be very very tough. In Europe we stand no chance, given the very mediocre and conservative mentality of the coach. Let's hope we can win Serie A the next years while we prepare our finance so we can finally give another step towards Europe. But I have the feeling we'll be stuck for 2/3 years (in Europe).

And one last thing. To me it's clearer than ever that this team heavily relies on the physical capacity. Vidal and Pirlo really suffer when they play so much in a very short period of time. They desperately need a week to rest.

Have we scored from 1 short corner in 2 years?
No, but Chiellini had the biggest chance of the game from a short corner today. Furthermore, it's not all about scoring. It's about making the opponent insecure so that you have a higher chance of scoring when you actually put in a long corner. Jeez.

I find it so funny that the same people who praised our mercato and the deep squad that Marotta built repeat the same thing over and over again that we lack quality and game changers on the bench.
Llorente, JCK.

I'd love if somebody could pull up the stat on goals scored from corners for the past two seasons.

I vaguely remember one which was taken by Pepe.
lol.

Bonucci vs Shakhtar
Peluso vs Lazio
Chiellini vs Roma
Vucinic vs Inter
Caceres vs Inter

Those are the ones I remember off the top of my head, there must be plenty more.
