[Serie A] JUVENTUS 1-0 Roma [December 23rd 2017] (6 Viewers)

433 was great. We absolutely dominated them for 80+ minutes. Selections and subs were the problem.

I fail to see what's so great about it? Khedira was our most advanced midfielder and offered nothing in attack. Matuidi - Nainggollan battle was great but Khedira vs Strootman was just useless to play an extra CM for, the latter did nothing but horizontal passes.

It could be a nice formation but not with Khedira in it.

I hope this 433 experiment stops here..

What do you suggest?

What do you suggest?

Either going back to the 4231 or going 3421 (Monaco CL-formation)

Both formations with Dybala

3 points against Roma for our roma players is the only thing good in this game

We look awesome for 30 min with this "new" high tempo tactis till we got tired like obviously it would happened... and it's gonna happen in any game we can't close it early

 

[Post Ironic]

22 attempts, 8 on target. Multiple easy chances missed by Higuain, Mandzu, Khedira, Matuidi, Pjanic off the bar.

How anyone could possibly think that we didn't create a boatload of excellent chances tonight is beyond me?

We dominated Roma. Unfortunately our forwards have forgotten how to score lately. It was the same against Inter.

Now that we have our defensive issues from early season sorted out, if we can get our finishing boots back on like in early season we will be in great shape for the run in of all competitions.

Szczesny for me clearly MotM. But I think Manzukic deserved a nomination. This guy catches almost every standard in defence. This is crazy. In the air he's fucking unbeatable.

This past month

we beat roma, napoli and olympiakos

drew with merda and barcelona

Starting formation was great. First half was great. Should have been ahead by more than 1-0.

2nd half the team faded. Needed better subs. Dybala should have come on for Higuain at 60th minute at least. No-brainer sub that one.

Overall tactics were fine. They couldn't last 90 minutes though.

It may not be the most exciting looking lineup but we outplayed the shit out of both Inter and Roma, could've won 3-0 if we had better play in final 3rd

I think part of that is down to our choices in lineup though. When we play with Manbro, Cuads, Matuidi, and Khedira we dominate the opponent physically and in midfield but none of these players are particularly technical enough to impress in the final 3rd. Not really the sort of players you want crossing or making a late run into the box

But our full backs remain an issue with Alex sandro not feeling happy at juve

So what do you call the total collapse in the last ten minutes?

 

[PedroFlu]

We were $#@!ing lucky today.

Game should have been killed in the first half. Why the $#@! did we change gears at HT?

It doesn't seem on purpose. Players looked exhausted over there, from the 65th minute on. And it took ages for Allegri to start subbing guys.

Except Higuaín's chances , the rest were half chances only because a guy of Higuaín's calibre should be finishing those chances. We need to make a distinction between clear cut chances and half chances. In Higuaín's case, he just had to shoot accurately at goal and he failed.

glad you mention that. whenever we are being pressed, we just hoof it to Mario and he takes it down to Matuidi or AS. thats why hes the real MVP

Roma went all in, subs and nervousness.

Max only used 2 subs.


how many times a season does he do that? Seems like it happens frequently

It won't.

I want to watch Dybala play football too, but he's the unfortunate victim of our (successful) attempts to fix the main problem. Since we did fix the main problem and we kept a clean sheet against Barcelona, Inter, Napoli, Roma and 4 other teams, we won't switch to another formation. In Juventus it will always be about not conceding before scoring 2, 3 or 4 goals. We are not conceding and we don't give away chances because our midfield trio and the wide players are doing an amazing defensive job. It's frustrating that Dybala has to be the victim, but it's pleasing to win matches and it's really hard to argue against this 4-3-3. I bet Allegri did not make this choice so easy and I think that, as much as he is happy to be winning without conceding, he is also frustrated that he has to bench Dybala.

Matuidi injury contributed 70% to that imo
