and moreover, how could a non-italian be more aggressive..?? well, he may and may not.. but, you contradicted yourself by stating how the two coaches of sampdoria and palermo are more aggressive.. and both are italian..
it's not that Capello lacks some tactical superiority or aggressiveness.. or even motivation.. Juve has produced some good games this season.. and I think they will produce more.. It's just we are going a recession period.. players are exhousted maybe because of the tight schedule.. and because we rely on certain key players that have played almost every match this season.. and so far, we don't have decent backups for them.. and the backups themselves didn't get the chances they needed to blend in the team..
By the word agression i mean more attacking than this italian 4-4-2,
9 players guard the ball thing, it works nice most of the times for us, but if smth isnt calibrated as it sould the attack will never work.
A smaller team is sometimes forced to attack more cause they cant rely in the eficiency of their def(lecce), others will try guard the ball and take the draw,did u see how beautifull palermo opened their game?All their attacks were so were calibrated and tested, everybody new what to do, everything was working like a clock,
the quality of the team was juves advantage, when we faced real and barcelona back then we had team quality,
today we might have more player quality but not the same concrete teamwork wich helped us to overcome every obstacle.
I believe if deshamp was our coach he would have change us in litle more offensive football, french style, i dont know if it would be better but this is the revolution we needed.

there are many things that affected us badly.. but, hopefully we'll go through them...
I really hope u are right, i believe capello is a great coach, i believe we have great players in our roster, we def have the potential to do smth but half year later we dont seem to have the balance we sould, the three lines look isolated and the main problem,the attack looks unchanged,
i remember cap's roma scoring so many goals after the 3 consecutive shoot! attacking with 4-5 players at time, this never happened for us.
