Yeah, it's basically what I said prior to the season. Only thing I underestimated was the amount of points we'd drop, though there was a fair share of bad luck involved as well. I mean, we could've easily drawn Udinese & Roma, and won today as well. But no use in lamenting that.
It is what it is. Hopefully inter draw. 6 or 7 points we can recover.

Vucinic is by no means a top player. If he was top then so was Matri and Quagliarella. The licht was definitely of a different cast and still is. Licht is/was world class.
We differ. Vucinic was our creative force in attack those first two seasons under Conte, and when he was missing so was our attacking play. He was very inconsistent, but easily a top player in my eyes.

He missed the point where you said he wasn't handed a 7th place squad too. :tup:
He misses things all the time. We all have our little meltdowns, but he's borderline hysterical 90% of the time. It's too bad, because he seems to genuinely love Juventus, but doesn't seem to have the ability to ever stay calm and rational. T

The fact that it's him who constantly brings up this Conte vs. Allegri nonsense is telling.

Still not too worried about Inter tbh, Roma is gaining a sizable headstart too though...
Half the people melting down here were those who went on and on the last few seasons about how our 10+ point leads after the winter break weren't safe and the teams behind us could easily catch us if we slip up.

Now, after 3 weeks a 7-8 point deficit means we're out of the scudetto race already. :lol:

Basically that's what the season hinges on, us not losing too much ground whilst that happens. It seems like he started day 1 from today and it's the 3rd round of the season with CL next.
At this point I'm just hoping for 2nd in the league and getting past the round of 16 in the CL. If we don't pass the group, we better win the EL.

We need a bit of time, hopefully in that time we don't drop many more points. We can still win the title, we just need to start winning soon and find that swagger again.
Are you serious? I am really hoping we make third spot. We have too many problems it's really hard to start listing them.

No, it doesn't necessarily mean that, especially because Serie A sucks. But it sounds like you never played the game because starting off a season in this fashion is hard to recover from.

I was going to type this is in chievo thread but as were in silenzo 'chievo thread' stampo im going to post it here.

We were Clueless, no organization and we are lucky to escape with a draw.

1) There were many a times we had space to do something on the right though the ball fell to caceras, maybe licht would have done better here.
2) Dybala.. well he may be our highest scorer but such an overrated player and i mean that
3) We took an a very organised side, infact at times i thought we were playing Juve.
4) If you dont control the midfield you dont control shite and sadly we didnt
5) No physical strength up front, there were times, this didnt help by the fact we had a weakling in the name of dybala.
6) The front three were playing way too close to each other
7) Slugish, lack of communication though granted some of these guys have just come in
8) Alex sandro was a somewhat positive, though when he went up, we were screwed.
9) I need to say this again, Midfield Midfied and Midfield. So crucial.
10) We aint gonna win the scudetto, because it will take uptil november before we start to play decent and get good results.

And now im gonna hide. :snoop:

God you people are so fanatical.


Looking at whocored.com:

Vs Chievo - we had 26 shots and 66.7% possession.
vs Udinese - we had 21 shots and 65.5% possession.


We are certainly creating plenty of chances and with a team still learning each other our possesion hasn't been horrible.

The goals will come. Chill the hell out.
