My first post here after the match. Embarrassing display by us up until the ~60th minute. 433 allowed us to finally play like we used to. Watching Juve playing 352 makes me almost puke. Attack is non existent, midfield doesn't work as it should and the defense is laughable. We concede way too many goals this season. Our back 3 is slow on counters, can't create the game but it's Barzagli and Chiellini who have ball the most in our team. I guess it suits our opponent very well but Conte just can't see it somehow.
There's no more laughable excuses like 'parking bus', 'conserving energy' and all that stuff. Nothing works in this team as it should. Bonucci improved a lot over the last two years but he makes blunders like the one yeterday not in the right game and time. We looked so much better without him and that's a fact. Pirlo looked more lively in 433 and even got an assist worth his name. Quag was MOM for us easily. Haters can't hold it anymore against him, he's our best goalscorer in CL for the second year running and always delivers in big matches (I mean CL). The guy is not a material for constant starter but he's a very good man to get off the bench and do his thing. Chiellini and Isla were horrible. Both are responsible for the second goal we conceded.
There's no more excuses for our players and for Conte. We play shit game, no concentration, no ideas up front, no ideas in the midfield. This is impossible for this team to forget how to play all of sudden. There's a lot of things to change: from tactics and formation to the players' attitude.
I hate Conte's excuses he still makes. he can't just demand big money signings and complain about lack of money all the time. He's got a very strong squad right now and his job is to make it work. We can't win shit in Europe with such a poor organisation of the game and lazy attitude. You can see this team has a huge potential but we don't use it. Not even at 40% right now. I'm expecting Conte to change things in the coming matches. I don't buy that 'we have only Pepe for 433' excuse. We had no Pepe yesterday and we did more in 20-30 minutes while playing 433 than playing 352 for over an hour.
Napoli plays with Insigne and Callejon as wingers and Roma plays with Gervinho and Florenzi. So we can do it with Tevez/Vucninic/Giovinco/Isla. Just no more narrow 352 with no wings at all.
