Has anyone here considered what we'd do if we finish first ahead of Napoli by less than two points? The club has already stated that the sporting justice system is a joke, and we all know we're above having a cardboard scudetto....
It's totally different from Calciopoli.

1. Napoli's points aren't being deducted after the season, like Inter getting the title after the season finished.

2. During Calciopoli, Inter were either as guilty as Juve, or worse. If we were stripped of the Scudetto, then no one should have received it.

3. It's not as if Juventus should have been deducted two points, and didn't (like Inter should have been punished during Calciopoli and didn't). We suffered from the Calcioscommese mess too.

It awful performance from us. We didn't create a single 100% chance to score a goal for the whole match. 3-5-2 doesn't work for us if Chiellini is missing. Without him and Asamoah our left side is weak, so much money spent for depth.

It's time to dispose 3-5-2 because with this formation we lack three main things we had last season:
- High pressing on opponent,
- High pass accuracy,
- High number of chances per match.

3-5-2 is not good for pressing. We often score a goal a then sit back at our half like we played Barca or Real. We don't make our opponents make mistakes in defense. To kill an opponent you need to push harder. Instead we back off and let them play.

Also our game is very narrow because of lack of wingers. Especially with right-footed player on the left side. In 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 you have two players on each wing who are back ups for each other in defense as well as in attack. Pirlo has nobody to play forward to because we play with only 2 forwards who often are cut off and one of them is Giovinco who has no chance winning a high ball sent from Pirlo. This also makes our game slow, predictable and ineffective. Our attacks are unprepared, we lose ball too fast which ends up like today and a week ago vs Samp.

Another problem I can see is lack of players that suit 3-5-2. Our starting lineup is very good but when we miss some player we can't replace him with nobody. Also some of our players are not used properly. We're not Barca to make CF become a winger, CM become a forward and so on. This one goes especially to Vucinic, Giovinco, Licht, De Ceglie and so on.

I propose to use 4-3-3:

Buffon/Storari
Licht/Caceres - Barzagli/Bonucci - Chiellini/Bonucci - Chiellini/DC
Vidal/Padoin - Pirlo/Pogba - Marchisio/Asamoah
Isla/Giacch - Quag/Matri - Vucinic/Giovinco​

Also when Pepe comes back he competes for RWF spot.

Imo this roster is very balanced and strong. We don't lack CBs as we have three very good CBs for two spots. Right wing is very strong, Licht is a natural RB, Caceres is a very good backup too. Left wing is not that good but PDC is better as LB than LWB and that's a fact. CM is also very strong as we have Asamoah here to rotate with Vidal and Marchisio. In attack Left wing is very good, right wing are runners who can deliver a good assist at times but they need to be more defensive and put pressing a lot.
Besides the CF position we're good enough to win the league. CL is another matter, it's always hard to predict even if we're going to play against Celtic who on paper aren't that strong.
Chiello is wasted as a LB, put Caceres there, he plays there for Uruguay with great success, dare I say he's a better LB than he is a LWB. Chiello must be CB!
