[Serie A] Chievo 0-0 JUVENTUS (16th October, 2011) (58 Viewers)

To be honest, Chiellini natural position was a left-back. He was brought in as a sub for zambrotta in early 2000. I think having him as a left-back will make our backline extremely strong. reason being, he is physically very strong and a great header. most of the wingers are very bad at heading/jumping. With chiellini marking them. They would have absolutely no chance of winning/receiving any aerial ball. Most of the fullbacks are often bad jumper/header, we are very lucky to have chiellini as a fullback 
besides, i think he is more suited for fullback as he is full of stamina and grit. plus the fact that he loose concentration sometimes, which is more dangerous if he is a CB.

There were times that up to 4 Juve players were in the penalty box. The thing is Chievo's defended too tight (people too underestimate them, really) and sadly it was Licht who had done most of the crossing if you know what I mean.
Seriously, new Alvin? 
Do you seriously have Rigobert song as your avatar?
That's my beef.
Sure we have 1 striker, but that does't mean he is the only one that will be getting crosses. There are other players that move into the box from the opposite side. We have been crossing bad so far in every game, whether it's one striker or two in the box it doesn't matter. There was an instance in the 5th or 6th minute I think where Krasic literally had enough time and let the ball actually stop rolling before attempting to cross and still fucked it up.

Our wingers are s***t but it appears Conte expects them to do excessive defending. Makes it impossible to counter-attack. And do we really need to rush back on defense against these little teams. We lose the ball, but before you know it, we have 8-9 men back in defensive position to counter their 3-man attack. No wonder they never open up.
All just seems too cautious.

that is true about our wingers having more defensive duties. but even so, their crosses are utter crap, which I honestly think is a bigger problem than it may seem - well perhaps not bigger but we definitely, definitely missing it. I think SKY reported that this season we only had an accuracy of 14% with our crosses.
