Was more than lackluster in the first half, and that comment stems from him waiting to receive a pass, but obliviously, letting someone intercept it from behind just a few mins ago.
Vidal is good, but he alone can't fix much really. Especially if he's in a 2 man midfield next to Pirlo. No idea why Conte got his head stuck into 4-4-2/4-2-4
I beg to differ, Whatever instructions Conte gave the attackers, he needs to tell them to drop behind the ball. If you want to play possession everyone has to be in a short pass distance. Now its long balls/counters
No real team plays like this. This formation and tactic is embarrassing. We are defending with 4 defenders and 4 midfielders. All they do is sit in their zone. They follow no one. They press no one. 2 players can pass the ball amongst our midfielders because none of them will leave their place in their fucking zonal line to get the ball.
