[Serie A] milan 0-2 JUVENTUS (March 2nd 2014) (10 Viewers)

[Linebreak]

I have never seen a team play so badly yet win so comfortably.

We're happy with the win but one cannot feel anything but let down, and concerned for the future, with such a performance.

The scoreline can't make us blind to the fact that there's still a lot of work to be done in improving this team, particularly if we hope to compete in Europe in any effective way.

One of the main concerning aspects of our game is the way we are easily put on the back foot when an opponent applies minimal pressure.

I don't think it's arrogance, and I see it more as fatigue. As Conte said, Pogba played the u-20, had like 2 weeks rest all year, and couldn't be rested due to Marchisio's and Pirlo's injuries. It's really normal for a 20 year old to have a dip in form considering the above.

JCK mentioned it many times this season, but failing to find a replacement for Giaccherini was a mistake. Conte doesn't trust Padoin or Isla in CM. Last year Giacc and Pogba were giving us an option to rest the midfield trio. This year, lots of times, the three starting midfielders were the only midfielders we had, and they were playing full matches. Especially Vidal and Pogba played a lot. It's just natural that they can't keep the same tempo all season long.

Naturally, Cronios wil complain, but this team does need a reliable CM 5th choice.

That's why I really wanted Radja and later on Guarin, one of them coming over would have helped us a great deal at this heavy schedule now.

 

[Klin]

Still did much better than Marchisio in my book, which is why I singled Claudio out

You can't be serious, D.

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

That's the problem tbh, no matter how shit our opponents are, if they have a basic understanding of how to press us properly we end up playing on the back foot. It has to be the system coupled with Pirlo.

Any old group of players can press us into the ground. Thankfully, most teams in Serie A just sit back and refuse to put any sort of pressure on our back 3. Otherwise we'd be left scratching our heads a lot more often.

 

[radekas]

I honestly wonder how this show actually works .

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

People earlier on who laughed at the notion of us buying a 5th CM

One suspension, one injury and we're screwed because we have no option on the bench and we certainly don't have a plan B where we can afford to use 2 CMs at a time.

One of them would have been perfect. Our MF is generally exposed when his not there to provide the energy.

Verona pressured us into submission after we went 2-0 up. Luckily the game ended when it did.

No way Radja.I am still pissed off why that deal with Guarin was called off.I like Mirko utmost but that deal was fine.Radja is not a half of Guarin.

Look at this guy- Radja is a beast, closer to Vidal than Guarin is in terms of the type of player.

You know, as much as Pogba was seething with frustration and rage, I imagine it's only a tenth of what most romanisti are experiencing right now.

good job juve by beating milan, scudetto is yours know, after roma's draw.

Guarin is nothing less a beast than Radja but his skills and technique are far above Radja.At any sense more versatile and better player than Radja.Radja is a boxer no more than that.Guarin can think,pass ,score and everything.

Not quite, this month is crucial for us, make or break of our season i would say, if we can maintain a healthy lead at the top then i feel the EL will be realistic too

We have to win the next game and hope Roma slip up aganist Napoli. Not saying we are safe after that but the pressure should be somewhat less.

You can't be serious, D.

as bad as he was he stuck his foot in, got his shorts dirty, heck even almost scored. Claudio made his only cameo when he got the yellow. He just cant play vidal's spot, id rather see padoin than him.
