We looked clueless upfront and it's not Marchetti's fault we didn't win. We lacked Pirlo the most and tbh Vidal was better as regista than Pogba. Quag looked like he was lost and Gio just failed. I wouldn't blame him too much as our wingers and Marchisio looked even more poor. Our subs were really bad, Pepe's crosses suck. Matri and Bendtner are bad, especially the latter.
Without Pirlo we should have be better with corners and feekicks as well as from the wings. In both we were clueless today so no win for us.

Hoe exactly would you want us to press more? Did you honestly sit and watch the game? or did you just look at the score line and look at the end of game stats? Im honestly asking because saying we lacked intensity is a seriously stupid comment.
my thoughts...We lacked scoring once again but nothing new so im not going to get mad because i dont expect anything else. Its all Marotta's, Conte's, Agnelli Nedved etc.. or whoever decides what players come into the fold because its seriously trouble sum not having this player. Of course we cant say this player would of won us the game but its honestly disheartening seeing chance after chance either go wide or a flubbed shot. If we arnt going to score we damn well make the goalie work for the save like the chance gio and marchisio got on net.
Vidal showed exactly why we love him today. Asa had a less then par performance upfront but say to yourself if not asa then who? Licht on the right before Isla came was a automatic stater and we never expected him to score or create from outwide so why are we so anal about asa providing chance after chance? Hes a middle player and needs time to adjust which involves better crosses, better cutback passes etc...
This team is Pirlo dependent but thats because this teams build around him and his distribution. If pirlo retired and say Pogba took his place and MVPogba was out mid then the team would have to be re shaped and tactics would have to slightly change. Pogba did ok i think in distributing more then half his long balls found targets in good positions and for 19 years old new country new team and being put in to replace pirlo is no easy task
I hate Conte's obssession with 3-5-2 sometimes. Lazio didn't want to attack, the came here for a draw and everyone could see that. Why do we play 3-5-2 when we need to score and have no Pirlo and Vucinic on the field

Both Asamoah and Isla needed more help on the wings. Also we should have press them more to win. We have no intensity with 3-5-2 whatsoever
