You tell me if you know everything.

I conclude based on what I see. Ale does play over Quag. It means that Conte sees him as the better one of the two.
I never said I know, it was you who tried to point out something that can't be known.

But yeah, what you say can make sense. Then again, benching Del Piero was also fine cause Vucinic is the only one worth of playing in the starting XI because Conte saw that on trainings too. I don't know why people complained about Conte's line-up, it's what he liked at training.

Stop bullshitting Dusan. Playing with a lone striker was wrong. Benching Ale could have been acceptable only if Matri/Quag/Toni had started alongside Vucinic. It's not about Del Piero, it's about the formation. We were incapable of creating chances and it changed when Ale stepped in. Vucinic is our best player upfront, but there is no "must" about his pair except that the better player among our other strikers "must" start. Since there is nothing else I could base my judgement on, I'd conclude according to what I see and I'd say it's likely that Ale is in better form than the other three. That's why Conte sent him in.

"Al 25' cambia la partita. Perchè entra Del Piero. Perchè la Juve passa a due punte. Perchè finalmente i pericoli arrivano". Out of the Gazzetta. Translation: In the 25th mintues (2nd half) the match changed. Because DP got in. Because Juve changed for 2 forwards. Because finally the dangerous chances arrived.

I'm not bullshitting. You say it's fair to see Del Piero starting ahead of Quag because he impressed Conte on training more. Fine, but why won't you consider the idea that Conte was impressed with 4-1-4-1 (4-3-3) much more than with 4-2-4 on the same training?

Because, today, it appeared to be wrong. With two strikers upfront, we suddenly became a more dangerous team. Too bad it was too late and Ale was wasteful.

Against Catania it appeared too :smile:

Against Milan as-well but people can't see that because apparently Marchisio screwed Bonera's luck.

Conte obviously thought it would work so he wanted to wait, like he did against Milan, but back then we managed to score in the last 10 minutes.

As for the formation, I find it laughable that we have to adept to other teams formation. That's what small clubs do, not the big ones. This 4-1-4-1 should be capable of beating any teams, let alone Chievo.

If Dusan you really think Vucinic is the only one worth playing from all our strikers, why has he scored 1goal only? Vucinic can't play alone up there even Vucinic himself would tell you that.

Or is it because Krasic is starting the games then formation looks good to you? :)
