@Mark he's a Quebecois from the land of maple syrup aplenty... frozen rivers of it run through the wintry north of his province.
that was funny actually. something like: "has juve changed me? my wife tells me that i'm still the same dickhead."
once again, we ran too many risks in defense. i don't even expect a clean sheet these days, and that's something i wasn't used to. thanks to fonseca for introducing kalinic, that sub was perfect for us.
What’s your take on the subs otherwise? One of the things I hate about the 4-3-1-2 is that our RB/LB is left alone to defend two players most of the time. If he goes forward to press the RB/LB it leaves room behind him an one of the CB has to come out to close that space down. If he marks the winger the RB/LB has all the time in the world to put in a cross. That’s why I liked that we shifted to a 4-3-3, but for me it should have been Costa instead of Dybala. Then again we should have scored at least twice on the counter to see out the game.
I haven't been on this forum for a while but I am sure everyone is highly critical of Sarri.
However, I have to say I really do think we are playing much better football. Its a very different style of play with very quick passes and high press Its the kind of play that takes time to sink in to the whole squad. But I really think we will be much better as the season progresses. I feel that our football under Allegri peaked. Whereas I see us getting better under Sarri but there will be numerous hick ups until we get there.

Yeah, things improved in attack and defense both after switch to 433. We just couldn't finish our counters and still held the line too deep but shape improved. Could tell before game based on Roma's lineup that more width would be better even more so than other games.
So, I don't get the complaints about the subs and switch to 433 either. Only thing - should've tried Dybala as F9 first before subbing Higuain in. Don't know why Allegri was and now Sarri is allergic to trying Dybala in that role.
Pointing out one or two things you didn't like about the game is fine, but no comment on general moaning about a good result at a tough venue. I compared them to FIF a while ago, more are doing the same now.
