Interesting comment made by one of the ESPN commentators. Something along the lines of "For a team that wants to play like Barcelona they sure don't close down and pressure the opposition a great deal" - Barcelona's pressuring of opponents off the ball is second to none. Roma sit and watch the opposition.
In 3-5-2 most of our attacks go through left hand side. Because Vucinic, Marchisio and PDC are on the left. This leaves Licht pretty much passive the whole game !
Great win and performance, this Juve is the best I've seen since Lippi days. This Juve is even superior than Capello's Juve and would do damage in Champions League. Conte keeps impressing me and I can see him spreading fear in CL next year.
Btw, there's this unbelievable potential in De Ceglie if Conte keeps using him.

And yes we can do some serious damage in CL, if we continue to grow this way and manage to keep this pace next season. Will be very difficult though and I think we'll only be emulate this season in a year or two at best, while also performing in the CL.
Marchisio, Vidal, Mirko and Pirlo were immense. De Ceglie and the defenders were excellent. Almost everybody had a magnificent match so I can't choose a MOtM.
