We have no other RBs apart from Licht. Unless Sorensen is moved to RB and some other primavera player moves into CB. Or a primavera RB :boh:
Yeah, but I doubt Conte will play the entire B squad in the Coppa.

Those who are now on the bench (Del Piero, Quag, Giac, Esti, De Ceglie, Pazienza) will defo start, but some regular starters, especially from the defense, will play in the Coppa too.

Maybe:
Storari
Licht-Barzagli-Bonucci-De Ceglie
Pazienza-Anyone from the trio CMs who regularly play
Giac - Quag-DP-Esti​

Krasic and Elia won't start even in the Coppa, unless we hit injury crisis.

20k Dedicated to the greatest football player I have ever seen, it breaks my heart to see you not playing but I have faith that there will be a time when a moment of your brilliance will lift the team and once again you will save us.

I'm also sick of Ale's permanent class behavior, if I was in his place I would refuse to play for 2min like the game against Milan(?). At times, it's good to pull Totti. It helps and Totti knows it.






Duuude, coooome oooooon, I get the frustration (why I ignore this thread, reminds me of it too much), believe me, but fuck me, you actually said the above? For Ale to pull a Tevez? I recommend you knock some sense into yourself for saying that.

Del Piero is no Tevez. You can play Tevez for 2min but you can't play Del Piero for 2min, Osman.

That's called disrespecting a legend.
Ale survived more or less 2 years of being frozen out by Capello, to suggest he should pull a Tevez for not being subbed in enough (because he doesnt have it in him to start anymore) in a after 3 months or so of the season, is defenitely selling him short. He has defenitely been treated bit off (and I dont mean Conte, it was bound to be like this in final years of a long career), but what you suggesting goes against who he is more then anything, meaning ego over team.

Here's how I see the whole scenario case..

When you don't start for your team, you can still be part of your coach's plan, but when your coach fields you for 2min, 5min sometimes 7min other times 4min then you're clearly not in his plans, not a single bit. And to think that this is Del Piero's last season, that's a crime itself.

I just want them to be honest with the man that has served this team more than the dick Agnelli and everyone who works in the Mang.
Conte on the other hand is one of my favorites not to mention the tremendous great work he has put in this team I'm proud of him, but if the clubs greatest player is not in your plans at all just be honest with him it's the least you can do to him and make it easier for everyone.

I get all of that for sure, just object to your notion of what he should do (even if I know you dont really mean it, but is just frustrated, its still too much for me to read) and honestly I'm glad he wasnt subbed in last game, dont like the idea of 15 mins substitutions for Ale. Cant do anything meaningful, especially when protecting the lead. Prefer 30 mins at least (Conte in general barely makes subs before 75th min), or the occasional starts to show he can be useful to Conte.

Because as usual (but especially in this current scenario), Ale has to "prove" himself in basically start of every season for very long time now. Naturally quite different this time around, every coach has relied on him too much last seasons (say too much because mainly been average limited teams, unlike this season), mainly for creavitity and leading with experience on the pitch.
