[Serie A] Fiorentina 4-2 JUVENTUS (October 20, 2013) (74 Viewers)

[Enron]

Its the whole damn team, we have become smug.

You'll probably be thanking Rossi at the end of the season if this loss fires the squad up. A lot of times teams need their shit pushed in by someone other than the coach before the message really comes across.

I hope this is it. The real game become all that more important after this.

Dont really see how you can blame buffon when you have a team giving away pk's, letting the opposition shoot, leaving a man open in the box and allowing a 2 on 1 from the half way line.

The penalty was a smart dive by Fernandez, it wasn't a mistake from Asamoah or anything like that. Fernandez took his leg infront of Asamoah on purpose, knowing that he could then fall afterwards. Asamoah falling afterwards, was just because he tripped due to Fernandez lying down. It really wasn't a penalty, but every opposing player would seek that contact, so I can't blame him.

The second goal was a fail by Buffon by any standards. His dive was way to slow for his standard. Even if someone from Novara would do that, I would still call it a drop. This was the collapse of our team.

Conte "considering coming off two 7th place finnishes, this isnt so bad"

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

How is it possible in the space of one pre-season we add quality to our attack but somehow regress in every single department?

2010-11 Juve would press this juve into submission and beat them down with no mercy.

4 goals in 14 minutes..

I hope so too. Very similar to last season's match against Inter - we got lucky in the first half of the match and got smashed in the second one. It worked that time, I hope it will this time too. Even the timing is similar - last year it was 3rd of November and now 20th of October.

I'm not even mad about the result. A loss was expected soon, considering our abysmal style of play and lack of hunger by the team. We haven't been convincing whenever we played and we were lucky as hell in a lot of cases when we won. Some people might say this loss will wake us up as the loss against Inter did, but I disagree. I expect nothing short of a humiliation against Real next week. We're playing horrible and we are indeed overrated as hell.

This is the main reason we play like this.

With that hunger we won Serie A two times. This year we don't look that way.

 

[Emmet]

Has this place went into a meltdown yet?

 

[GarfielD]

The only good thing is that this shock came early in the season...

Hopefully this will be a wake-up call.

 

[Monco]

Has this place went into a meltdown yet?

This is pre-meltdown. The official meltdown will begin on Wednesday at 22:30 CET.

 

[Linebreak]

We'll, you never know, this could lead to a 4-1 victory against Real.

I can see pigs flying out the window as I type of course.

The 3rd goal shows why we play 352. Chiellini is not a good LB, he tends to drift towards the middle and needs a man defending on his outside. Asamoah went too far forward in that goal because we were trying to get back the lead, because Roma has set the league's pace too fast; we are already 5 points behind after 8 games.

Guys this hunger idea is bullshit. How come teams like bayern and barca and manchester united have played always the same throughout the years and continued to win trophies? Was it because they were so hunger that they never got tired? Hunger is the least of it. If anything its the menality of the team thinking that they can control they game and then play so casually that there are lapses in the process of the game. We arent sharp as a team and we play too casually. Thats what needs to change

That was always going to be a problem, which is why Agnelli, Marotta and Conte kept going on about how difficult it was to win 3 consecutive scudetti. Seems the players haven't quite bought into it yet.

We basically pushed everyone forward at that point. It was over once they scored the third goal. We were caught on the counter

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

Our pressing is shit, it's destroying us

It used to be us pressing like mad and winning the ball back. Now EVERYBODY does it to us.

 

[Linebreak]

Tevez being on the pitch has probably also had an overall negative affect on the team's mentality.

Fiorentina fans will tell their grandkids about this game. They won't forget this one.
