I miss the days of our high intensity and possession based 4-3-3. Teams are just completely getting behind the ball against us now and our break out is horribly slow.
We've been lucky and benefited from refereeing. Football has been horrible. Results will drop naturally if Conte doesn't think about an alternative game plan.He is NOT being smart at all.
I doubt we'll end the season with the same scheme. If Conte doesn't change it now, results will force him to do it, sooner or later.
This. I don't mind getting scrappy wins but we struggle right now. We'll see if we actually step up for Gala but I can't see us going as far as we did last season in CL.
Once again we showed how stale we are our passing game absent and our attacks are lame. It is quite obvious when the first time we tested the opposing keeper was in the 83rd minute. That was the second dangerous attack we had all game after that lame shot by Giovinco. We field a wide formation that contributes to nothing going forward, we tend to see five defenders and blame the opponents on parking the bus. In fact Torino had more times going forward and higher possession in the first half of the match regardless of the amount we shot and the corners we got. We got a win which is again really important but it also came from an offside goal, the second time in a row luck is on our side not to mention the amount of times th he referee gave calls in our favour where in fact it was the other way around. But hey, let's not complain and let's not be repetitive, everything is under control, we will get into our rhythm in March, when it really matters

Well I said before the game id be happy with an ugly, scrappy win, and I am, but man were playing some ugly, slow and predictable football at the moment. It's all looking a bit stale out there.
I don't know what people are complaining about. We're already way off form, did anyone really expect this game to be entertaining? Torino were there to defend their 0 : 0 lead against us and obviously that limited how effective we can be in attack. So 1:0 in a Derby with no injuries and not too much effort before a Cl game. Really couldn't have it any other way.
