The goal we conceded yesterday is prime example of why we don't play high up the pitch attacking football.

We don't have the players to keep the ball, have only one mid who protects the defence, plus our defenders are slow.

As soon as the eventual turnover happens we are too open and slow to deal with it.

But I read that we created 13 chances yesterday. If we had a competent centre forward I'd fancy our chances much more to climb the table.

Better to turn it over in their half than ours though. And the goal was conceded because Bonucci went to left wing, inexplicably. Well not inexplicably, it's because Atalanta was pressing us. So he tried to create space. But that's what pressing does :howler:

Zapata is a handful for any defence compared to Princess Dybala and moody Morata

Seeing CL qualification seems to be gone I'd pretty much prefer it if we miss out on the the Europa League too and from next season try for the Scudetto as we'd only have one game per week to focus on.

I know the loss in Euro revenue will be huge but hopefully the likes of Ramsey and Rabiot will abandon ship and we can recall the likes of Rovella and Fagoli and try and build some kind of foundation for the future.

I just don't want to have to witness us traveling to Eastern Europe every Thursday night.

In the goal difference department:
We conceded 16 goals which is 4th and we scored 18 goals which is 13th!

Our defense still needs minor improvements but the problem here is our inability to score. 13th in the league is waaaaay behind. I understand our midfield is tragic but Dybala, Morata and even Chiesa need to do a lot, a lot more.

Every one of our games seems to be the opposition attempting to execute their game plan while we try and stop it by chasing the ball and trying a counter after they lose it.

We rarely try to impose ourselves from the start and every move we make is a reaction to what our opponents do.
So strange indeed. We play like we're the challenger going up against pedigree champion. Playing sacred and not to lose. W'e're JUVENTUS WTF!

:agree:

We have the worst goals scored to xGoals ratio in Serie a this season. Which shows that our attackers just aren’t doing their job around the box.

We’ve scored only 18 with an xGoals of 23.58, 4th highest in Serie A.

Will signing somebody like Mitrovic solve the problem or we generally seem clueless when teams crowd out the box

Mitrovic isn't going to solve shit. If he was such hot property, other clubs would be all over him.

He's a 27 year old playing in the English 2nd division. If this is our solution, then we might as well just sell the fucking club.
