I completely agree with alen...Our strength is our attack and I would say we are similar to Liverpool. Not the defensive stars put we play our game very well but we get thrown out of our game we arent near as good. We need to be that team that keeps clean sheats and use our great attacking power to limit the amount of players getting cought up. Good teams can be predictable in my opinion but it doesnt matter if you cant stop it. How predictable is Inter? Are they a very tricky team? No they just pound you and you cant do much about it bc of the players they have. Honestly I love Giovinco but it is hard to play how we play tactically and all with him in compared to Nedved. Maybe we need to change the formation up next year to suit him but we are very vulnerable when we try to attack to much.
Our team is unbalanced! This cannot be denied or overlooked.
We have plent of viable options offensively and no reliable ones defensively.
We can argue for ever which is the best approach for the winning formula.
But lets not forget what suits our team the best! We have the tools to attack and score goals against every opponent, but we can hardly prevent even the lesser teams of scoring against us!
It is a no brainer actually, at any circumstances, we cannot fall back, because our defense cannot afford that!
And here lies the problem, our coward and loser coach, is afraid to take that risk and calibrated our team, in order to play with the defensive approach Capello+DD used.
This approach is written within our DNA, we are the symbol of the tactical defensive football. Our triumphs all arrived by solidarity of our defense and the quality percentage of our starters!
The new board want to see that changed and does not approve the necessary defensive enhancements. However the also demand results here and now!!
They rather prefer buying more expensive forwards with the hope that those choices will enforce their will, of creating an attractive to the eye, offensive team!
CR tries to balance those incompatible orders and we can see the results...
We are wasting Giovinco, DC, Treze, Camo and DP or Iaq on the bench
and are forced to use the lesser quality defensive players we have, in order to use the defensive approach, our team is accustomed to use.
This is our way, we can only be effective that way, at least in a league type of competition!
All these compatibility issues have multiple affects in our team.
I ve pointed them out some seasons ago and we have yet to see a solid effort from our board to fix them.
This is THE issue we are facing now and then and it wont go away with CR !!
We need someone to step up and take control of the situation, someone with a clear vision and the authority to impose his will!
It is essential to get a man like Lippi as GM, someone who has the exp and the authority to do what it has to be done!
We are only wasting time now and running circles. With no vision, no planning, no strategical goals! A typical behavior of amateur FCs...

another good post/point that is, because they do sit with eleven men behind the ball ... we tried to pressure them with our high defensive line, but the final balls were not delivered properly, because it is very difficult to cross or pass when you have so few space to play into.
against bigger teams we can exploit the space they give us, because they attack us. if the big teams would sit with eleven men behind the ball, then we would not win against them either.
so you could say, we use the "small team" tactic against the big ones, which works well, but does not work well against small teams that play the same tactic

Why sometimes some small teams are doing wonders against big teams? Haven't you seen the smaller teams' players putting their heads against the balls, running as much as they can, making up for their inferiority by trying as hard as they can ONLY when they face big teams? This is called motivation. Chievo could stop Inter this week and get beaten by a team of their own caliber (in a supposedly much easier match) in the next week.
Now we have some stars in our team. They've always been motivated against big teams but after Calciopoli they're SUPER motivated when they're playing the likes of Inter and Milan. We also have some mediocre players who are naturally driven in big matches as they always were at the times they were playing for mid-table teams. Ranieri has always had a team full of inspiration who wanted to prove something against the big teams. The difference between Juve and Chievo in this matter is that we are only a better team than them player wise.
But when we play against smaller teams like Lecce, our starts are normally not as motivated as the times they face big teams and our mediocre players are playing like the times they were playing with their former clubs against Lecce. They aren't as motivated as before as well. This is the the time Ranieri's lack of tact is exposing.

Everything you say is fine and all, but i didn't say that motivation is not a factor at all.
This is the case with every single big team, not just Juve. You think Inter's stars are motivated to play against Lecce? I doubt that even a motivator like Mourinho can motivate Zlatan against Lecce.
The tactics and the quality of the players should compensate for the lack of motivation.
