You can man mark Pirlo because we leave 3 players behind half. There is no consequence for Lyon to sacrifice a player just for Pirlo since we only have 6 players in attack.

If you swap a CB for a trequartista, you can still man mark Pirlo but you will leave a hole in the midfield if Pirlo moves to Bonucci's area to play regista. Then we score goals.
True, but it would be risky given that Lyon are very good on the counter.

But I agree that is a simple way to open them up.

Joe Cole on ITV 4 just made a more tactically aware point than conte has this season.

Sub on gio for a cb, play him behind the strikers and we'll free up pirlo by dragging a man off him.
I just said that. It's the most simple tactic you can think of. Elementary.

It's naive to think Conte doesn't know this. My fear is that he ignores it because of his mentality.

I don't know why you feel the need point out the very few of my posts, where I critize our approach. And I wrote you've no idea what's going on, cause you think the blame is on Bonucci instead of looking at how Lyon are playing. They figured out our tactics from the beginning and no other cb in the world could do anything different.
The fanboy is strong in this one.

It has.
Earlier in the season we covered the lack of pure talent with maniacal running. If our players move as well as they did earlier in the season, we'd always have another option for a pass in midfield. But we don't run as much and that's why we are predictable and one dimensional. Now a team needs to man mark Pirlo, and Juve are done. It's as simple as that.
Vucinic can help us in this regard in the last matches of this season, but that's not a long term answer. We'll have another bad season in CL and we won't be as good in serie A next year if we keep ignoring pure talent and creativity at the expense of athleticism.
to be honest though, pogba and tevez are an indication that we have tried to do smth about that.

A shitty and scared team x the most predictable team in Europe which doesn't give a shit = both teams loving 0 x 0

lyon - we still have a shot - not bad

juve - we are conserving energy - not bad

So not bad is gonna happen. Plus Conte's stubborness.
