Juve pre-season matches (95 Viewers)

[Hust]

Even when a player is not pushing him, he always seems to be making an emergency pass



His lack of composure and control in the CM means our team is never settled with the ball meaning in the long run he is putting the team under pressure even if it's not clearly a direct result of his actions on the ball

"In the long run..."

The guy rarely EVER misses a pass. This has to be the strangest argument yet.

Are you kidding?

All players should help, and not all should DEFEND and no, I'm not kidding.

 

[Hust]

He did make at least 2-3 tonight already.

Why don't you go ahead and put down how many Krasic has made too. In attack AND in defense.

Krasic is not a central midfielder. Compare him with Pirlo.

 

[Cheesio]

Wrong.

Krasic was out worst player along with Licht and i don't see much criticism.

More so because as CM in 4-4-2, he receives possession more often with his back to his opponent (from defenders to start build up etc) on central of the field, when you are most vurnelable to get physically pressured/challenged, and he generally is physically too weak/off balanced to consistently deal with that pressure. We seen him in 4-3-3's or as fake winger, where he cuts in or moves more off the ball off the sides, that he isnt as exposed there, and can receive balls more facing forward, or generally is in less contested zones then the absolute centre of the field.

I think I'm inclined to agree with this assessment. It sort of puts the dagger in the heart of those saying he can play anywhere across the midfield in a 4-4-2, though. In a central row he's awkward, and in a winger he's near useless.

Do we need to switch to a 4-3-3 to accommodate him?

Marchi is playing Ok today. Not great, or OMG he'z suckz, just ok.

He does need to beef up, thou.

So a MF in a 4-3-3 never receives the ball with his back towards defence? You're kidding right

Marchisio is just not good enough

 

[Dostoevsky]

Krasic was out worst player along with Licht and i don't see much criticism.

And I don't disagree with that. I just say that Marchisio has been poor.

 

[IrishZebra]

Seems to be problems with link up play.

 

[Salvo]

Thanks guys, we are getting raped.

 

[Trequartista]

Fuck this, let's sign Cassano.

 

[Linebreak]

Honestly - we don't cut it - this is Real Betis and we are not impressive

Why do most teams we play seem just more technically gifted than ours?

 

[MikeM]

All players should help, and not all should DEFEND and no, I'm not kidding.

How do you help defend without defending.

"Hi honey, I will help you clean the kitchen but I won't clean the kitchen."

Barca's strikers win the ball more than their defenders.

 

[Salvatore]

Real Madrid and Barca beg to differ.

You're kidding, Real Madrid and Barça have players working hard to pressure the players in possession.

 

[mukumsplau]

thing is with krasic, ive seen him too too too many times do the same shit over and over again...i stopped hoping he can change things up..i just hold out hope that his crosses land in a useful area

 

[Trequartista]

We need to play 4-3-3.

 

[adriano_c]

Is Quagliarella still not fit? It's almost the end of pre-season.

 

[Kasaki]

You're kidding, Real Madrid and Barça have players working hard to pressure the players in possession.

Well I would just say Barca, I've yet to see Ronaldo/Di Maria pressure anyone

 

[Linebreak]

Conte wants the team to bring back the Juve winning mentality - it's one thing to have a winning mentality, it's another thing to have the ability to win
