Lippi. Now there's a legend who would know how to get the best of these players.

His hunch and ability to switch position of a player in best possible way could be crucial for us right now.

Wouldn't be surprised if he comes here and throws Pogba at AM like he did with Nedved.

That migh be a way, but I'm certain he would be a master here again with formations and solutions he would bring.

Come on, people. Lippi ? It's not even funny. Why not Trap then?
There are no decent options on the market. It's better not to touch Allegri, let him finish this season. Marotta should grant him support and take a hit from a press, because you can put it however you want, but Beppe screwed up and the worst part that he did it almost at the season start.

With Allegri? Nah, not at all.
I don't think so either.

Was reading something yesterday about the chances we have created:

Juve have created 145 chances so far. That's 19 more than Roma and 43 more than Fiorentina. But Roma have scored 14 more goals, Fiorentina seven. No striker has been able to get it going for the Old Lady.
We really need to start scoring some of these chances.

whats the definition of chance in this report
I just listed it. :D

When I posted that to JJ, I took a seat in my chair. Sipped my coffee and thought to myself that X would be there to question it in some form. At the minimum I thought you'd ask for a source, alas, I was half right.

Sigh. You sir are freakishly ruthless. You are a keyboard maestro.

I like the idea of getting Montella from the possible options. He's Italian, within budget salary wise, has worked with Cuadrado and at the end of that season they sold him for big bucks, could develop and use Dybala in similar fashion to How he did with Guiseppe Guido (and after all they compare Pauolo to young Montella) and Morata could learn a thing or two from him. Same goes for Pogba, since Borja had his best days during his time.

He seems to have a decent relationship with his players (normally doesnt have his squad ridden with injuries whether duo to medic staff or players availability) and is tacticaly sound, not the greatest but solid enough to build a unique playing style around whatever he's got (happened with both Roma and Rats)
:tup:

He asked a valid question. What is a chance? We clearly suffer from having clear cut creative ability to build consistent good chances, the fact we miss the few we do is another matter. Rest is just almost there half chances or desperate hail Mary shots.


This stats prolly counts all of Pogba, Cuadrado and et als dumbass weak shots outside the box, that got blocked or go wide big time.

This is what I think a lot of our issues in the box boil down too. Scoring often takes patience, which we have little of this season as noted by the constant field goal attempts we have outside the box. The last two matches Pogba has actually managed the GK to make a save. It's unfortunate because any season before this one our midfield would be scoring: marchisio & pogba both.

This season has been a perfect storm for our suffrage. Injuries haven't helped (Med staff), changing tactically every game (Allegri), and so many new players needing to gel (Marotta).

I said on Groupme if you remember right before the Sass match kicked off: "On paper we should stroll to victory, but we will drop points today". I knew that as soon as I saw the lineup and formation. Even today Allegri said he doesn't know what the lineup is going to be this weekend but its going to be something shaken up again I'm sure. Dybala will be benched for having a poor game and I wouldn't be surprised if it was Morata/Zaza starting. My point is, I'm tired of seeing the endless changing in the lineup.

Lippi is retired. And even if he comes back for one last jolly he will still be semi-retired, we have to do better than that.
:tup:

Lets remember him for what he did.

Also,,he is getting too senile to withstand what will be coming for him. If i was a family of him..i would tell him to reject Juventus at any cost, mainly because of his health and peace of mind.

He needs to be thinking about retiring and enjoying the rest of his life with is loved ones....not coming to this boiling pot to get ill.

Mourinho and Ancelotti would be my main candidates,,,mainly beause both have top tier pedigree and thats what we need exactly, BUT.... one has interista blood corrupting his veins so he will never come here....and the other has a very turbulent past with us and not solong ago he had some very unkind words towards Juve. If anything, he will go back to milan.


SO Montella it is.

He would probably come if we were any club but Juventus. He is the best option by far.
:tup:

if somehow they convince him and we make peace...im all for it. Exactly the kind of experience we need. Have been wanting him since we were asking for a conte replacement

“What do we have to do to save our season?” Allegri considered in his pre-match Press conference.

“Rise up the table. We can’t say 'we’ve arrived, we’ve arrived’ after every game. We have to get through in the Champions League, with two decisive games. That’s the first goal.

“Then we have to come back in the League and Coppa Italia and maybe improve the situation.

“I’m thinking about the game tomorrow, I still have some doubts over the formation.”
That's real inspired Allegri. :sergio:

Much more important than getting out of group in CL is not being in the bottom half of the Serie A table at the midpoint of the season, so how about you focus on that.

If things don't turn around at the end of the season and Max gets the boot.

I'd go after Mourinho, you want a winner? There's one.
Mourinho is the sort of manager who wants a team of proven players, and not nurture talent or develop young players this squad neither has that throughout nor does the club have the resources

That's going too far. He clearly proved he's a winner last year... But like many coaches, he requires an already built and well-oiled machine to do well. He was perfect with last year's team, providing the tweaks needed to take it to that next level...

...but when things aren't ideal the guy is just not the right fit as a coach. He doesn't have the ability to organize, discipline, and inspire a squad full of new faces, weaker dressing room personalities, etc to have the grinta to dominate like a Conte or Simeone can do. It's really too bad. Combining Allegri's European tactical nous with Conte's energy and determination would make one of hell of a coach.

The good thing for Conte is that tactical nous can be gained through experience. The bad thing for Allegri is that a coach's personality really can't, and I doubt he will ever do well in less than ideal circumstance. It's really too bad we couldn't keep our team together for one more year, while adding just a couple pieces, instead of the ridiculous wholesale changes. No departures, bring in just Dybala to learn from Tevez, Alex Sandro to rotate with and learn from Evra, and a trequartista so Vidal could return to midfield and I really think we would have been dominant again this year under Allegri.

It really was Marotta's job to convince Vidal and Tevez to stay on for one more shot at CL. I'm sure Tevez leaving played a part in Vidal's decision to jump on the chance to go to Bayern. He probably saw this as a rebuilding year.
