:agree: It's pretty childish as well. Though I do agree it's great that Allegri rests players for such matches :D
i agree with that too :D. i never liked this about Conte, he probably didnt want to risk much before securing the title. after we were sure champions he always played reserve teams

Guys Roma are losing 2-0 12 minutes to the end with 10 players against Sassuolo at home.

Fuck.Non excisting penalty and 2-1

- - - Updated - - -

Off topic 2-2 final.
3 points ahead of them and they play away next game.
If we have such a non existing penalty they will cry at least 2 months.Now Garcia will say that everything was okay.

Serie A? I though it was gonna be a joke of a match. :lol:
The team was already focused on Tuesday's match, and it was understandable. Then the absences we've had forced us to return to the 3-5-2 that limitated a bit our offensive force in this match, especially without Tevez and Lichtsteiner, and Asamoah to a lesser extent.

Pogba has had a few moments of brilliance, but that was not enough, and that misplaced pass in the second half for Coman was the key of our victory that didn't come.

Majestic Bonucci, his tackle on Gomez and that stop/dribble with his backheel are a piece of beauty, this season he's improved a lot in his personality even if sometimes he's still making mistakes, I've underlined his growth even in his thread IIRC. He's my MOM, i misclicked in the poll.

Fiorentina were kind of tense and afraid to win, that was my impression, and that's a recurring theme of our clashes in the last few years, if we exclude last season Rossi's wonders and Gomez late draw in Turin in EL. If they were a bit naiver yesterday they could have won, cause we are not really in form and were a bit off with our heads, while they are in a good form after the problems at the beginning of the season.

I'm not worried for Atleti, cause I know our team, for this kind of clashes the team and the nearest fanbase create the best atmosphere to approach and especially in home matches we give our 100%. Atletico will be hard guests but we've had harder and dealt with them, being unlucky not to win (Real) and a draw will be enough for sure.
And today, Sassuolo's gift makes the whole thing sweet.

well, most fans are happy he is gone now so you could say he did the right thing after all. he reached his maximum with us and needed a new challenge. thats all
Quitting a few weeks before the season, after committing to returning, was anything but doing the right thing. Then on top of that lying about why he left, when everyone knew he only left because the NT job opened up.

Can't wait to see the national team not even make it out of their group at the Euros because Conte is too stubborn to adapt

He would if he switched 4 man backline. Last season we had : Padoin, Marchisio, Pirlo, Vidal, Pogba, Asamoa,Pepe , defense: Barzagli, Caceres, Ogbonna, Bonucci, Chiellini, Padoin?,Peluso. Attack : Giovinco, Vucinic, Llorente, Tevez, Quagliarella. He only didn't have Pereyra and Morata so it was doable + Conte would have never used Mattiello :(
I love Conte but he sucked in rotating the squad.

This is just false. Conte started his best 11 before CL games that is true but in Serie A he rotated all the time.
Before we had Tevez and llorente, he rotated our 4 strikers all the time. He also rotated Pogba and Marchisio before the Pogs proved he is better and around the end of his time, Conte started playing Marchisio in Pirlo's role. Also Cacares got a lot of game time.

He started playing Marchisio in Pirlo's role only last year when Pirlo was out injured after the Fioretina game I think. Before we had Tevez and Llorente he only rotated the strikers simply because tbh they sucked and you can conclude that from the fact that Vucinic was our best player in attack. The only place where he rotated was in Coppa. He was 'rotating' Pogba with Marchisio on few games like in 70 min when Pirlo was injured and when Marchisio started getting injured and out of form he never subbed him or rotated him with Pogba/Vidal. Last season Vidal was overused mroe than anyother player together with Pirlo and Barzagli, maybe Asamoah too and we had Peluso. Caceres only started seeing some game time during the EL games 2-3 games and when someone was suspended or Barzagli/Chiellini were injured, remember that he was close to getting sold in January because he wanted more game time. Those are forced rotations. If he rotated that was only 2-3 games in whole season those are not rotations.

Off topic: great avatar :) I love Freddie
