No one is even close to Juventus, Borussia has xPTS -9.50, Juventus is way above everyone else and if you watch every game you see how poor our squad is, yet people gonna dickride allegri and his tactics
Or look at this heatmap - it's a disaster what we see in the middle
Or this - look how wrong Dybala's placement and movement are
We are unbelievable lucky this year - Inter can't score sitters, Higuain can't score a penalty, Atalanta can't win with 2-1 score against 10 men and so on and so on
Until the standings are determined by using xpoints, I wont give 2 cents about it. Napoli can top the table afaic. That heat chart though is more useful and it shows what we have been saying about our midfield: subpar. Comparing Capello's Juve with this one makes no sense, since the current system isnt rigid but allows players like Dybala to roam around and find best position. I cant even imagine player like Dybala under Capello.
I don't give a damn about beautiful football. I only wants my team dominates oppositions like recent years.
Currently thia year we don't do that and small clubs are able to put us under pressure.
It makes me worried because we all witnessed a lack of concentration for 10 mins can put you out of the competition.
If we want to win UCL we have to improve massively. I don't see us capable of defeating teams like Barca and Liverpool in our current form and way of playing.
This 433 is not working very well. Max should ditch it and try using 4231 once again. Or 4312 with Bernardeschi / Costa as false 10.
That defensive, Catenaccio-loving bastard Allegri, taking off a midfielder and bringing on a winger when we were winning 2-1. Also playing everyone’s fap 4-2-3-1 formation to end the game with all of our flair and fancy players.
I don't think his tactics will lead to European Glory but the squad is super stacked and with Ronaldo we have a half decent chance of beating anyone so there is always a chance
Definitely looking forward to the knock out stages of the CL this season, We have a squad capable of competing with any team
Midfield is still a bit of a weak area but I guess you can't have a perfect squad so it will have to do
