For me the worst was the subs, he's really bad reading games. They all were really bad. He didn't take out the players whom were playing the worst (Pipa and Matuidi, too late sub in this case) and he didn't bring in the ones we really need (Ramsey and Costa). I'm pretty sure our attack with Ramsey, Costa, Paulo and CR7 would have been way better and create more than two-three attacks in 90 minutes

Am not against Sarri yet,

but all who blame him for the loss .... what are the solutions based on your views , duirng the game ?

we are a team lack the contribution from the middle ...nothing ...

what i saw :

Cuad is trying ...a cross

Alex ...a cross

the trident sunk in the crowd ....

Bonucci ...a long pass ....


just tell me here what we should do ...knowing Ramsey is nothing to rely on ...

we have no midfield to find solutions in such games:

no shoot from distance ....

no key passes

no long passes

but any way ... we will be just lucky if we win this Scudetto and of course CL dream is officially finished ...

the pattern is repeating itself every game ....

- Start Rabiot instead of Matuidi. Matuidi contributes nothing in an attacking sense, in fact the opposite. This creates a huge disjoint between our midfield and attack.
- Don't play all our strikers together, it leaves us unbalanced (several games have shown that) and does not bring the best out of Dybala, who needs to be closer to goal.
- If Ramsey is fit (there has been no indication that he isn't) he should be AM. Not because he is performing to a high level, but because he can play the role of AM that Sarri wants better than Berna, Costa and Dybala.
- Play Dybala and Ronaldo as our first choice partnership. Higuain off the bench is a great way to bring intensity and directness when we need to chase a game.
- Have a bit of intensity.
- Don't completely abandon direct football and width.
- Not related to today's goals but bin the zonal marking. You can see we don't look comfortable at it (Bonucci and Ronaldo both let Milik get a header in and seemed confused over who was meant to pick him up).
- When you are 3-0 up at half time in a Coppa game at home, rest some guys before a tricky away game.

Even doing a handful of the above would help us dramatically.

This game reminds me of a man city Chelsea game last year, when pep praised sarri for his attacking football in the press conference ahead of their Etihad game.
So what does sarri do? Goes to Etihad playing attacking football and lose 6-0.
It could have been the same in this match if gatuso would have praised sarii for starting matuidi for his engine and for playing a narrow formation ahead of our game.

Napoli's defence was something truth be told. Prime Atletico-esque. Yes, our team barely showed up offensively, but they didn't leave us any space.

Feels like the league this season is at a much higher level.

Still... too many experimentations with the line ups and subs. Needs to fix this shit. Plus our gameplan needs some tweaking (do we have one?)

Forza Juve.

Perhaps those of us who saw worrying signs along with the positive results weren't entirely wrong, ya know. There's reasons to be optimistic and reasons to worry obviously. Of our 5 "tough" matches in the last 7 weeks, Lazio x2, Roma x2, Napoli x1. We lost 3 of them and were outscored 10-8. That's worrying, but not yet reason for too much doom and gloom given some good performances too.

Last season we had 59 points, 43 goals scored-12 conceded after 21 rounds.

This year we have 51 points, 40 goals scored-21 conceded after 21 rounds. And that's with bringing in Ramsey, Rabiot, De Ligt, Demiral to improve us this summer.

He needs to adapt his attacking tactics to incorporate some strengths of the players here that don't necessarily align with his Sarriball. And he needs to make us more solid at the back against better teams. We concede too easily.

How come? This is disingenuous imo. They were tight all game. We're focused on our game and yeah we were bad but they almost played a perfect game
They supposed to be tight, being tight is nothing special in my book. They were shit in attack, created basically one chance + Milik's header, e.g. they played up to their current capabilities. We were just abysmal.

“We were passive for the entire match, thought we could play with a slow tempo, taking five touches, always distant between areas, extremely bland,” Sarri told Sky Sport Italia after a 2-1 defeat.
“It was a bad game, we had the wrong approach, intensity and psychological interpretation, which was followed by physical interpretation. This cannot be us, evidently.
“We put Napoli into a situation where they only had to do the bare minimum to beat us. We were always late to every ball. It was as if we were in slow motion and nothing worked, it was all through the team.”
“I chose this trio because they all seemed to be in good shape, the midfield appeared balanced enough to sustain them, but I don’t see any individuals to blame for this. The whole team was bland.”
“Chiellini brings a certain mentality to games and situations, so would certainly raise the aggression level. We really do give off the impression at times that we are passive in our final third. For example, in the Coppa Italia Roma scored because we were passive, allowing a player to run undisturbed from midfield to shoot from the edge of the box.
“When I saw what was happening, I tried to introduce Douglas Costa as a proper winger, trying to give some width to the team. That was the idea, anyway, but it made little difference.”
“Just as against Lazio, we had a lack of mental energy. When you aren’t fired up, this sparks a chain reaction with tactical and technical problems, but it all stems from there.”
Sarri was asked if it hurt in particular to lose at the Stadio San Paolo
“I am happy for the lads, as I will always be fond of them. If you have to lose, I guess I’d rather it be here to help Napoli get out of their current problems. I’d rather they started winning next week, of course…”
The Napoli ultras did not seem to feel the same way, as there were insulting banners and chants for the coach.
“Clearly, the game takes over and you have to detach yourself from everything around that. Napoli represented a special moment in my life and it’s always pleasing and emotional to be back here.”
Juve had the chance to go six points clear at the top of the table, as both Inter and Cagliari were held to 1-1 draws, but instead their lead has been cut to three points. Did they feel complacent?


“We should’ve felt more motivated to break away rather than less, otherwise this’ll mean we’re weak. I would hope not. If that situation weighed on us, even unconsciously, it means we aren’t ready yet.”

I can’t digest this no matter what

I agree we came out with a weak team that were muscled. The trident was suppose to fix our boring style to some but its a horrible idea if you ask me. Sarri git it completely wrong today. Dybala away from goal isnt good. Ramsey or Costa for Higguain from the start and we would have been much better IMO. My point was we were to weak and putting more weak players might not fix it
