you're missing the point. Our midfield was completely non-existent and collapsed in the Man United game. They totally overran us in that department because there was no Tacchi in there! We still managed to create chances in that match without DP, so Tacchi was missed much more!
Don't pull all this crap about if the Tacchi had started juve wouldn't have lost the game!
The WHOLE team played like crap. one player is not gonna make a diference unless the whole team is playing average.
i dont know how the hell you analyise these games!!
in the ManU Game, juve had most of the ball. the problem was the tactics. you can't play 4-2-3-1 against a team that is almost qualified and is happy with a draw(and therefore only gonna site back and play counter attacks)!! Lippi had it all wrong. Ferggie won the tactical battle and the players didn't know what the hell to do. in that game, manU played 11 men in their half!! They waited for juve mistakes and they took full advantege from them.
There was barely a mid-field to control anyways! as most of them were defending and just cluttering the goal.
the 4-2-3-1 is mainly for counter attack. so don't BS your way out of it with half-assed arguments.
again, Tacchi didn't play many games inthe start of the season, yet juve played well.
lol..how exactly. All I remember him doing was standing around and missing about 3 sitters that a world class striker would have put away blindfolded.
about Trez in that game.
First of all, Trez did all he could do being the lone striker (a position, mind you, that he is not used to)
a world class finisher doesn't have to score from every chance he gets. BTW, not all of the chances he had were sitters. bad luck played a big facter. check out the Milan game to see what Zala could do
oh what a surprise yet more ignorance. Tell me one thing other than finishing that Trezeguet is better at than Zalayeta. One thing!!!! Can you?? I very much doubt it!
Trez is better than Zala in:
--Finishing (as u mentioned)
--Vision of play (he can read the game a lot better than Zala who seems lost on the field)
--Passing (Trez's great assistS last season is a great example. although he is not great, he is better than Zala)
--Positioning (Trez rarely gets cought offside compared to Zala's rate....)
these are the most important things for a striker.
Besides Brute-force and a bit of speed, Trez is better.
