This league is just too weak and Conte's Juve has some lucky star protecting us from losing.
Not that we deserved to lose today, we surely didn't, but with the way our defense played any half decent team would have beaten us.
Marrone's inclusion in the team was strange. He was terrible. His terrible positioning (not strange for a MC playing defense) led to a chaos in our defensive line and due to that Barzagli and Chiellini were forced out of their place. Our defense was hilarious as a unit and individually they looked like clowns.
In attack we were just as bad. Vucinic is obviously out of form, and on top of that he's not prepared physically. His pairing with Giovinco is not working and it will never work. Mirko shouldn't have started today.
Vidal's bad form is an icing on this bad cake. We might pass by with a bad defense and impotent attack, but it won't work if all our midfielders aren't in top form.
I guess we can be happy with the win, especially after such a performance and with so many players out of form, but this definitely mustn't last long. In the 2nd part of the season we play all the big teams away from Turin (bar Milan), while the teams without CL will have fresher legs come spring. If we want the scudetto we must win a great deal of points in the first half of the season.

What baffles me more is the fascination of putting Marrone as a centre back instead of a more experienced Lucio or even Caceres there. I know that Marrone has done alright against Parma, but at least put him back in his original position for this game. No wonder everybody in the defence is so confused, because Marrone doesnt have the necessary skills to be in that position. Lucio has performed in the chievo game and he should be competent enough to play against Siena. A lot of pointers to look at in this game and we are so lucky to go back with a victory and Marchisio to save our asses
