And not to keep defending Llorente last night, but the coach put him in a position against two tall CBs that were going to cripple much of his utility anyway.

Ridiculous you didn't turn this around.

Conte should have rotated more in the league.
I think you could afford to risk dopping a few points, seeing the lead you have at the top of the table.

This draw had nothing to do with fatigue. The coaching, the players, and the team is simply not good enough for Europe.

All the major players in Serie A need to sit down and discuss how they're going to revive this league. Overtaken by Portugal, lower average attendances on matchdays than the Championship... it looks bleak for the league as a whole.
What's the Championships average attendance?

And Italy will almost certainly jump over Portugal again in the 2015/16 season.

People have been saying Serie A would rebound for years now. It hasn't and it will not for a very long time, unless several billionaires end up buying several of these pathetic Italian clubs.

but but but... our historic 3rd consecutive record breaking scudetto?!?
Its normal to be pissed but some of you take it to a whole new level of stupidity.

What about it? It is a 3rd consecutive record breaking scudetto even if u want to discredit it, everyone of us would have settled for it 3 years back. Yes we did get knocked out of europe, Madrid spent a few hundred million more than us and reached their first final in 12 years and they were'nt even relegated in the process.

No one is forcing you to stay here, If winning 3 titles isnt enough for you and please look for another team to support. Bayern? Barca? City? PSG? Chelsea? United? Oh wait...

By the way Italy will almost certainly pass Portugal again in the rankings if you have any idea how they work. We dropped our best season (when Merda won CL) and they drop one of their worst, and we have two awful seasons in the mix (10/11 and 11/12 when we won just 11.000-odd points), while Portugal's 10/11 season was the strongest season they have ever recorded, they amassed greater point totals than any other country, 18.800. The rest of the time their best seasons are equal to Italy's worst.

Take a look for yourselves.

But next year they are set to drop that phenomenal season and we are set to drop our worst one, so if our teams do even average in Europe like this year then we still will pass them quite comfortably. In fact we may even get closer to Germany if we have a better season than this one, which we are set to do because Udinese isn't playing in Europe.

Okay with our elimination from European semi final, I can say our season is over ( yeah we still need 1 point to secure the Scudetto but who cares). This season for me is not stellar but still successful. I decided not to be as active as i used to until sometimes late June. Hope we have lots of good news from this summer mercato market.

See u guys soon. Take care all. :xfinger:

I agree with you about scudetto .It is actually historic thing no matter what.I am pissed of ultra much but I love this club no matter of what.I am pissed off that we simply cannot put a goal and were toothless.
The only thing that I disagree with you is let's take a example of Benfica and especially Atletico MAdrid.
Are Benfica players more expensive than ours? No way.
Are the Atletico players more expensive than ours?
No way.
And we can't beat Benfica and Atletico destroyed a billion eur. worth of Chelsea club and is in finals.
So money does not always play the major role.Usually yes but not in every case.

Ummm... We humiliated a billion dollar Chelsea the previous year, coming off a UCL win. We drew them away which no one in our group managed and humiliated them at home which no one else managed, and we topped our group. We then beat Celtic 5-0 on aggregate in the round of 16. And went out to the eventual champions in the QF. I'd say Conte was a genius in Europe last year.

Beautiful logic.

Marseille were a top 8 team in Europe when they reached the quarters in 2011-12 CL season :agree:
What's your point? We finished in the top 8 in Europe last year... Did we not?

We sucked this year in Europe. We were excellent last year.
