Bonuccis lack of reaction is disgusting

Also, the cut back for the goal was inches infront of Peluso, instead of lunging to intercept it he put his hand up to call the linesman whilst the ball was played into our OWN BOX ffs.

There were parts of the game in the second half when we literally looked clueless. It was for like 20 minutes when Conte was shuffling players around.

We really need to work on this alternative formation in training, not during the game.

I just don't understand our performances in Europe. They make no sense. And it's just not because Serie A is poor.

Napoli was able beat Arsenal and Dortmund, Milan advanced from their group, what the fuck is wrong with us?
Yeah I don't get it. It doesn't really make sense. It would look a lot different if the players took their chances but we still seem a bit soft, lacking that grinta.

We're sure to go out in the next round anyway so this result doesnt matter much.Its clear as day that the only thing we care about now is winning a 3rd straight league title.
:lol: No way. Conte wont allow us to go out when we play fucking purple rats.

Awful performance tonight, defending was abysmal and we didn't deserve a clean sheet. A lot of misplaced passes in the middle of the park and at times we were were trying to walk the ball into the goal. Tevez work rate was superb but his finishing wasn't as it usually is. Pogba motm.
However i do think a 2-0 home win is enough to see us through.

Why do you think we lack that grinta?
I just don't see how or why Conte would go about things differently between a game in Europe and a game in Italy. I think the biggest difference is that teams aren't scared to attack you. They know that if they lose and they are the underdog so be it, in Italy it's different. We also probably don't have as much time to play our game as it moves a bit faster. Now against the bigger teams they are a bit more cautious as they know we can play and they don't want to ship a goal, so they go about it a bit differently. So that's my answer. I'm guessing you were hoping I was going to say Conte. But that doesn't make sense to me.

How the hell was Peluso better than Isla?
Marchisio sure was more than 5.

Giovinco looked good on the LW.

Would you look that. When he's not being used as a prima punta, he could actually be useful.

I still want Isla out but he was borderline OK in this match

Peluso on the other hand...... ladies & gentlemen this is why we don't go after players in their late 20's from lowly clubs in this current Serie A.

No more bargain hunting from Atalanta ffs, our bench is shit because of it.

i dont understand the hate for isla and peluso today. only buffon and osvaldo had a good game, the rest pretty much sucked. tevez fell and lost so many balls, pirlos passing horrible, marchisio did nothing. pogba atleast showed and had a few great passes+goal. imo the mentality our team showed is contes working, and justified. no exhusted players , no inj is the important thing

Is this Europe syndrome contagious?

This performance was poor, no doubt about it, but our performances over the last 4 weeks have been no different. I'm not sure if we've run out of steam, but with a minimum of 15 games to play I the next month we better get some of that gas back, or Roma will snatch out crown quicker than a tramp snatches chips.

The other thing I didn't understand, we were at home, were the superior team in all aspects... Why are we playing on the counter? We don't play on the counter ever, so why did we adopt that approach? Conte got that gameplan wrong today, and we were lucky

Few things:
Even Isla was better than Peluso BOTH MUST BE SOLD AT ONCE.
We always applaude Marchisio but he was very,very bad tonight.Someone will say "Oh he was running",so what.His passes were awful.
When I watch Peluso I understand that De Ceglie and Molinaro were Messi over him.Idiot.Not a simple good move.Ogbonna was bad also.
We played so bad that it hurts.We will never win this second rate tournament with this kind of game.With this kind of game we wont beat even fucking Fiorentina.
Maybe someone will disagree but with this type of game we will have too many problems even with Torino,
Without Asa and Lich our system falls apart.
Sooo disapointed.
THis has no excuse.With this we will have problems in Serie A too.Mark my words,
