My Suggested Line-Up for the Final:
Buffon
Licht - Barzagli - Bonucci - De Ceglie
Vidal - Pirlo - Marchisio
Pepe - Matri - Vucinic
Caceres for Licht. After '60.
Del Piero for Matri after '60.
I don't know if yuo guys remember - but the last time we played Napoli we started with a 3-5-2 and we were struggling badly until we switched to a 4-3-3 in the second half and it made a huge difference. Napoli absolutely expected us to use a 3-5-2. We should have started with a 4-3-3.
I think Caceres has been a great addition for us, provided a great alternative to Licht -- but he shouldn't have played on the left, he's not used to it and doesn't work there. He is supposed to play right-back, or center-back. Another bizzare choice/decision by Conte. De Ceglie should have went left-back - we could have used De Ceglie's crosses. if he wasn't fit, then put in Giac. Then have ADP come in for Matri at the 60 min mark to bring Napoli havok just when Napoli have tired themselves out and are beginning to slow down.
starting Borriello was just embarassing. I Think Conte's complex with trying to 'revitalize' Borriello and show that he's some kind of magician has cost us a final. I love Conte, and want no other coach, but he really proved that he needs a reality check and also has much room for improvement. This was a final we should have won, not only as a major statement for the club and prospective recruits, but for all the long-suffering Juve fans, as well as Del Piero deserved this. He deserved a better starting line-up yesterday.
