If this is what it takes for him to be sacked then so be it.

But the board can't seriously consider him as a viable option for next season. We have without a doubt gone backwards all season long and he has failed in every single opportunity to win a trophy so far. We are unbelievably lucky that Inter and Lazio collapsed.
We use to win games because our managers aptitude to get the most of the squad, to set up team so the opponent has no answer to our initial gameplan, to fire up our team so that Alex Sandro doesnt just jog when tracking back to close the left side, or to read the game and adjust accordingly when in trouble. Now if we win, we will win despite current coach posseses no such abilities.

We're dead. His game is about having legs, we have none.
I agree, we are exhausted. This is what happens when you rely on 14/15 players, but more importantly, 4/5 key-players that play every game, chase results until the 90th minute every single game, and have no game-management whatsoever. However, I would agree with this logic if our intensity and level drop after an hour or so, but we are garbage from the first minute on and that is inexcusable.

Our game approach is also very different. We score a goal, struggle to make the second and we’ll begin the suffer mentally, it’s also asking a lot of the players legs to try to press high, get countered, regroup, and make a lot of passes in tight spaces again. Meanwhile stil struggling to create something as we don’t have the right players for that style.

Its more Juve-DNA to score, take less risks and trust on your experience and defense. Kill the pace or whatever, usually we ended up outsmarting the opponent and make a second goal. Opponents usually take more risks as time gets by, opening some spaces for our attackers. This is something we definitely don’t do anymore as we’re always trying to score.

Thank you mister, for giving the fans of this club "an early weekend", of celebrations. Thank you for giving us something to cheer.

Oh wait...

Seriously, Bayern and Real and Liverpool and the likes would've been cruising to victory on such an occasion. And so would the Juve of old.

But this JJ shit under Sarri ... It's shameful. A disgrace.

If we are lucky enough to clinch the Scudetto on Sunday, he must field the U23s for the remaining two games. The entire squad needs some good rest.

I expect a lot of transfer in the next transfer window. If Juve builds a team around this guy's ideas, not only will the Scudetti run end but will be set back for years. Assuming shit players like Jorginho are ideal for his style of play and we already got Arthur for € 70-80 million.

We create so little it is unreal. You can't play every game relying on scoring a penalty or from 25 yards.

Just once I'd like to see us have a game with even just a few clear chances in the box or scoring tap ins.

but this pussyfag is responsible for coaching, and fitness levels are part of that.
Stop, this is just getting ridiculous now. Sarri isn't responsible for fitness.

It's a completely unique situation that no one could have predicted. Our squad wasn't built with global pandemic and packed schedule in mind. No one's was. We're literally using all the players we have, which isn't currently very many. Ramsey should be nowhere near the pitch right now, for example, but he is playing because Sarri has to rotate and try to get him fit. Demiral shouldn't be on the bench. Chiellini shouldn't have tried to play. Rabiot shouldn't be playing all these minutes, nor should Ronaldo. De Ligt shouldn't be playing with that shoulder injury. We've got three fit fullbacks for two positions. It's just how it is.

The only thing I blame Sarri for at this point is for not doing what a good Italian coach would do and closing out games. We've lost 7 points from winning positions in recent games, for one reason or another. That's unacceptable. His stubbornness and approach might work great when the going is good, but right now it's a handicap.

So other teams have done better, good for them. It's the same for everyone? Yes. We should all be suffering the same way? Nope. It all depends how individuals react and who the coach can choose from. That's opportunism, not any form of planning at all. All of a sudden a bunch of deadbeat teams are having a great end to the season, and the teams who were running away at the top are floundering like a bunch of idiots, and people are reacting as if all of this was planned or happening in a normal season.

The reason you judge on next season is because that is a fair marker, that is how football is played for the last 30 years - two games per week maximum, normal training, everyone gets to do their work. This is just a mess, it's horrible with or without the results. Why people are analysing things like this is a normal season is beyond me. I get the frustration but it's almost a joke to be talking about things in that way.

In that case would you play Zanimacchia, Vrioni, Coccolo etc in a scudetto run-in? Inzaghi has had to do it.

14-15 players every 3.5 days simply doesn't work, you're right. It's physically impossible even with a young and fresh squad, and the reason why it looks worse with each passing week should be clear. It looked better against Lazio simply because they are in worse shape than us. It's a sad end to the season in football terms. But hey, grande Pioli, Gasp etc for taking advantage of it.
