Said before, we'll appreciate the guy more when he leaves. There is a reason why basically everyone who knows him professionally speaks of him like a demigod.

exactly,

also im expecting the sloppiest, ugliest 1-0 win known to man.

88th minute tap in by Llorente

Friday night kick-off suits me fine this week.

Anyone else expecting something severely below par minus Pirlo and with GS on the horizon?

Yep. Can see a boring 0-0 or even a loss on the cards.

 

[JuveJay]

Not sure we'll lose, but a very flat performance and squeaking a goal either way or a 1-1 seems likely. Haven't we scored in a gazillion consecutive league games?

Can't be uglier than the Udinese victory

yeah when was the last time we failed to score?

 

[Salvatore]

Bayern. Lazio in the league.

When does Giovinco return?

 

[JuveJay]

yeah when was the last time we failed to score?

Last game: Bayern Munich 2-0 Juventus, 02/04/13 (30 games ago)

Last league game: Roma 1-0 Juventus, 16/02/13 (28 league games ago)

 

[Salvatore]

Holy shit, forgot Roma. They're amazing.

 

[JuveJay]

Dat fucking Totti goal...

That's because we've built a system around him, more or less. If he leaves and we adapt properly then no one will miss him. If we adapt properly, even now then we won't miss him.

If we keep the same 3-5-2 and just put someone like Padoin there or some shit of course we'll miss him.

Right now, if we had some wingers we could change to a 4-3-3 flawlessly and wouldn't miss a beat. Pirlo has 1 assist this year and 9 shots on net. Yes, he does a good job most of the time spreading play when teams sit back and give us the ball but we have players like Pogba and Vidal who have a combined 16 goals and 9 assists from midfield.

We should be ok if Conte can alter things just a bit.

 

[JuveJay]

Agree with what you are saying, but this is still a legendary player we are talking about.

 

[petersmit]

We can't rely on Pogba to fill in for Pirlo every match Pirlo is unavailable.

just play 4-3-3 when Pirlo is unavailable, starting against Bologna

-------Buffon----------
Licht--Barza--Ogbonna--Chiellini
---Vidal--Pogba--Marchisio
--Tevez--Llorente--Vucinic

I know some of you would think its foolish to play with 4 at the back vs bologna, but we are missing a key player and bologna haven't lost at home since october. We can't lose points now..

if we do want to switch to 3-5-2 during the match, all we have to do is sub a striker for Asamoah..

true

 

[piotrr]

gonna be hard without Pirlo.

Definitely but some do not understand that.

Let's not exaggerate. Team is still doing very well without Pirlo in Serie A.

Andrea missed only 8 Serie A games and our record is: 5 wins (Cesena, Chievo, Udinese, Pescara, Torino) and 3 draws (Lazio, Genoa, Cagliari), goals 13:3.

 

[JuveJay]

So we've basically beaten a bunch of small teams without him. Hopefully we can add Bologna to that.

 

[DUKAC]

Exactly

You don't take Pirlo out of the system and not miss him. You, of all people on this forum, should be aware of this ffs.

Ya that's what I said lol. You have to change the system. If you build a system around one player and then the player is out, you can't just swap someone in. You have to make other changes.

 

[Nzoric]

The system, as I intended it to be understood, doesnt mean 3-5-2 or anything else
With his imagination and skill even a 4-3-3 would miss several beats if we replaced him. You're selling the magnitude of things he bring very short and I dont understand why.
