3-5-2 without chiellini, asamoah and marchisio is pretty useless. Conte needs to realize that. And people saying we have "lost the league" need to calm down. We're three points up, do you not remember when we were -7 last year?
The problem is everywhere. Pirlo isn't playing well, Marchisio is missing. Buffon is not playing well. There is no area of our team that is as strong as it should be right now. It's a tough period, we'll just have to get through it.
TBH I didn't think we were really worthy of a +7 lead at Christmas, based on our performances. We just got through tight games better. And I promise you without that equaliser you'd see some different responses. 1 or 2 goals either way don't change the real issues we have, that will need addressing to hope to challenge for the title and get through our CL tie.
I don't expect them to have the longevity, personally. But it is a league you can win with perhaps a little less quality than normal, as we showed last season.
They are very much a threat but they've claimed 6 easy points so far IMO. I don't expect them to ride our asses all season, that will be Inter or Napoli IMO.
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....
Need to splash the CL money now on a top striker. Llorente in January.
Bringing on Vucinic seemed to help Parma today, Giovinco not clinical enough, Quagliarella too inconsistent and Matri hopeless when he plays.

I agree with JuveJay, there are way too many problems that I find it impossible to adress. It is just like the Ferrara/DEl Neri eras, the problems look way too many to even think about solving them. Such a shame as I thought this team has a lot of potential, all of a sudden we look a very thin squad.

what you just said is abit too negative. sure this team lacks in depth and attacking force. But, lets not forget that our first 11 is very effective when fit. There are very little similarities between this squad and Delneri/ferrera squad.
