I just want him not in the starting 11 except in weak serie matches where a player might need a rest.

I see it the same way. I trust Max completely and serie can be won with present guys playing. Though I don't believe Juve would be the fav to win their semi or final CL match without the fluid offensive weapons available that presently aren't contributing.
I just got here during the summer mercato and all the complaining I read about not enough talent to win a CL title. Well you can't have it both ways. It's a long, very long season. I'm just hopefully confident Max will come up with best 11 come CL knockout stage startup but present starters aren't CL title capable.
What like 6/7 matches left to do some tinkering before Feb 13th? Or if not best I would hope for are 1-0 hold on for dear life victories come semi and final time. If Juve gets that far. Only my opinion, please no hate, constructive criticism preferred.
MERRY CHRISTMAS or whatever if not that for you!
I think that max is really a great tactician, but from what.'ve seen he got some problems when comes to his relation to the players, but it cannot be said he is not a good motivator, but let's try discuss what exactly juventus lack that makes them lose finals in Europe. I think in serie A we built an incredible aura, besides the whining and thieves staff we hear every day, those guys no matter if they are fans, players, managers, they know deep inside the great force this team possesses, we have a team good enough to reach ucl final, this is what I think , this doesn't mean we will do that, we could easily go out on March, but if IF just Max would create a calibrated team that can use its attacking weapons and create a better attacking gameplay, that doesn't necessary mean we have to get lots of possession, we don't need anybody style, we need our own juventus style, but the truth is it's very hard to do that at the moment, it's already great that max made these defensive displays, we saw against barca what happens with our actual defence when we try to play little widespread and not compact, you can't make benatia be a scirea or maldini as much as you want, but he is not bad at all when he receives constant help from the others, it's basically the same with all of our defenders now, maybe except Giorgio.
Maybe it's not the best and for sure it's not the best comparation, but we should try something like Milan gameplay in their absolute best in ucl, I think the 3 man midfield will be very useful for us, we need them to be magical, also we need Paulo to be a vero nr 10, a leader, we also need mandzu, his grinta is absolutely fantastic and we also need a decisive striker, here is the problem, it's either higuain will finally be the man we need in Europe , like he was against Monaco last year, we could also try mandzu or Paulo as cf .
We also need mental strength and grinta at 100%, in serie A we have all of these things, that's why we win, we practically own the league, from 94/95 when Marcelo came juve was the best team in the league every single year except the years post calciopoli and 7th place seasons, there is no way juventus won't win scudetto if the play at best and they are motivated at best, we never lost the title when we had this mixture, even on amauri days, we weren't actually that bad, sure even at its best that team wasn't a title contender, but a team that wins on Milan, Roma, Lazio and wins 2 home games against inter in 2.years (09/10,.10/11 ) can't be 7th place material, but we clearly missed mental strength and organised gameplay, forget about the way we played. When we lost the title we lost on our own mostly for example in early 00s against perugia, and even the season after against Roma, it was more us losing than them winning, we did some very poor games, draws against brescia and lecce or lost v udinese, that was really a winning Roma team, but even so if we were at our best we were winning it, most of the time depends on us in serie a, if we have the right team, attitude ,mental strength we most of the time have in league and gameplay we can't lose, we just need a normal or pragmatic gameplay to win against Roma or napoli like we do most of the time, when really reached the best level of gameplay, attitude and with our force we possess in serie A we were unstoppable, like 13/14 season, 14/15 or second part of 15/16 which was epic. I think we progressed so much and our expectations normally went extremely high, but the way juventus went to crush everyone from ashes of serie b it's fantastic, we just need to replicate this on European scale, we have a very good board and a great coach, who has some fixed ideas which is also truth , he sometimes stubborn with some ideas, but would be a massive mistake to change this man, he made Milan look great against barca with constant and Zapata, how amazing is that, if he somehow would manage to implement a little bit more attacking orientation view on European games would be wonderful, we also need to review our attitude on finals where we either enter as winners like against bvb or Hamburg long time ago or losers like we did against real twice .
