SO, I said many times before this $#@!ing 352 does not work because we get tired easily both mentally and physically. if we had used a better formation we would have finished those chances and easily made it 2-0, 3-0.
Actually, for most of the game we were actually playing a 433 with Asamoah as left back.
I am not sure why we relax so much in games and why we look tired in the 2nd half. So many times, when I watch Juve play, I always think: "Are we being lazy after being ahead, or are we genuinely tired - did Conte's demanding training actually have the reverse effect?"...or sometimes: "I feel we have another gear we can use if we really need to".
Juve, this season, is not used to chasing games - we always tend to score early and sit on the lead. Fortunately, the level in Serie A is so poor and the mentality so weird, that opposing teams are still trying to play on the counter with us even when they are 1-0 down and they don't offer much going forward and we were able to grind results.
Ironically, even though we are dominating the league so much more this year, I still feel the best Juve was the one in the 1st Conte season. There was real passion in the team and that carried over to Europe somewhat in the following season.
I can't help but think that Juve just knows how to grind out results domestically but forget how to play proper football.
That Gomez goal, reminds me of what the top European teams would do to us in the Champions League - you just need half a chance with a quality striker and you are punished.
