Conte had a ferrari in the 11/12 season, all he had to do was service it and maintain it as it was working perfectly fine. Instead he tried to kit it out like a modified honda civic and rework the whole thing. Now he is left with a car that is falling apart and in need of some serious rework.
I never knew a honda civic could be so much faster than a ferrari!

It's actually 66 vs 51 points in 2012 after 25 games. With 55 points Roma would be 2 points ahead of us with a game in hand and you'd calling for a new coach. Otherwise a good post though.

However, it was amazing to see how we pratically refused to play in the second half. Most presumably there were indications of Conte behind that, cause I can't give any other explanation. He must have told the team to slow down. That actually shows how much he cares about EL... We'll give our best to try to win it. However, it was amazing to see how we closed spaces to Torino when they tried to attack. They had a pair of pure chances in the first half, after that just wasted crosses and deflected 40m shots. Nice defensive display, but as a football match, very deluding. Not something someone would like to pay the ticket for.

For me:

Buffon 7 - Very secure on the ball, safety for the whole team, even if today he didn't have that much to do.

Barzagli 7 - Great to have him back. Had a great tackle on Immobile.
Bonucci 7 - Good game
Caceres 6 - Very great to put Cerci down, but Jesus... That pass :sergio: He risked to ruin a great match.

Lichtsteiner 5,5 - Imprecise today and not very sharp indeed. Conceded something on the wing.
Vidal 5,5 - The yellow card limited him in defensive phase. Not very precise too.
Pirlo 6 - Very clean on the ball and dictated our tempo as always, but that luckily that foul on the area didn't cost us a penalty. He's gotta be more careful.
Pogba 6- - Far from the best Paul, but hey, he's still 21 and it's his first season ever as a starter.
Asa 6 - Had a good game on attack, with his runs and dribbles. Missed something on the team build up, and short passes.

Tevez 8 - Monster performance.
Llorente 6 - If he just had a ball...

The subs n.v.

some people always pointing out how we break every record in the league yet if we really analyze it from the start of this season, there were times when we got too many luck in the league and we were too often played unlike a team worthy to be the champion, and most importantly we were and still are embarrassing in europe where it really matters.

The ref did have a shocker though. He wrongly didn't give Vidal a second yellow and Pirlo fouled El Kebab in the box without giving a penalty.

Usual BS from CDS, I'm sure GDS won't be far behind them
They need to give anti-Juve fans hope to keep buying papers.

I honestly wish more refs would choose not to give out penalties given El Kabab's and Pirlo's encounter in the box today.

Yeah and at the first start of Vidal he gave him a yellow immediately.And that touch of Pirlo was 50-50 call.No bigger deal than Glik foul over Llorente in the box.

This was exactly the type of match we would draw or even lose a couple years ago with Matri-Quag or even Bendtner up front...
Tevez-Llorente has been an immense upgrade guys... we can see it clearly in the stats (21W-3D-1L)..

And that without spending a penny (Llorente free, Tevez for 9-12M and selling Matri for 12M)
