We are fuked either way with players that have no future with us (osvaldo) and players that we cannot sell at any good price (gio, vuc, isla, peluso).

Beter use Vucinic, llorente Tevez till the end of the season

Why not start with Mirko and see what damage we can do, then take him out when he is unable to cope with it. Conte isnt a blithering fool, no way he expected us to generate offense with Llorente and Osvaldo up top. Even his idea that we could keep a zero for the first hour and then try to win couldb't have survived as we conceded pretty early. It was just a tactical clusterfuck and it looked like he couldnt be arsed to correct it.

Surely Vucinic would have done more than Osvaldo/Llorente if he started along one of them. When Vucinic came on the team looked better.

Allow me to post this again:

And with neither Giovinco nor Vucinic appearing to be fit to play for more than 30 minutes?

No-one is disputing Llorente-Osvaldo was a pair that wasn't likely to work or that Juve wouldn't be better with a fit Vucinic playing, but I don't think starting Vucinic was an option.

I'm sure that if Vucinic had been fit to play more minutes, he would have been brought on sooner.

Why didn't he start and work as much as he could, then get subbed out for Osvaldo or Giovinco? That's my beef with it, he approached the game in a manner which I do not agree with. I'm sure he could give a fuck about that fact, but I'm just baffled at the Italian stereotype coming full circle with our coach.

Doesn't take away from him amazing work here and I'd hate it if he left, but it's still a bit weird

why do you guys feel like you always have to end an argument about criticizing Conte this way? isn't it obvious that he's done great in the last 3 years with you that it's not even an option that you guys should replace him?

And you're just realizing this now? Been away for a while, I assume.

yeah... this season's work by Brendan Rodgers really reminds me of Conte's first season with you guys

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

You mean Suarez' work.

if you've seen us play you'd know it's not just Suarez

 

[Bianconero81]

He hasn't, so don't bother.

Suarez has been magnificent, but the support by the other players, mainly Sturridge (who is a fine player in his own right and a major contributor with 20 goals) has been nothing short of impressive.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Lose Suarez and you'll see

Nice argument.

Our most impressive player has been Henderson this season. But enough Liverpool talk in this thread. If you guys want to continue take it to the EPL thread. If another mod feels the need to move the posts, go ahead. I would but I am 2 minutes from heading to work.

Because we're not all 100% in sync with every decision Conte makes, to see football in the exact same way isn't possible. Conte is a champ and I hope he stays, do I still disagree with the odd decision? Of course I do - I'm a fan of this and a part of being that is talking about what you think could have gone different.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Nice argument.

I aint arguing.

 

[Gheorghe Hagi]

He might join us this summer.

 

[Bianconero81]

I am sure he is dying to play for Gala and join Umit Turkakbar and Hasan Tashakorat

Vucinic played ~25 minutes.

If he's not even up to playing 45 minutes, you can hardly go starting him.

With no way of showing he was fit enough to play longer than he did, I think you have to drop it and accept the way Conte handled it.
