Watching the Milan derby, I am struck by the fact that both Milan and Inter between them possess the very things that Juve needs most - from an attacking viewpoint.
Milan - throughout the whole team they have tremendous technical ability. How can Milan afford to play with Pirlo, Rui Costa, Seedorf, Kaka, Shevchenko - and still have the tightest defence?
Juve usually has mostly defensive players in it's midfield, without any real creativity. Milan look like being able to create chances from anywhere on the pitch, from any number of players. Juve relies on either Neddy or DP for it's creativity and we saw the cost of that when Neddy was out in the CL final. Player for player, Milan are on a different level. The skill and quality throughout the team puts Juve to shame (in my humble opinion).
Inter - Inter are more like Juve with more defensive midfield players in the centre of midfield, however, up front they have 2 players who can take the fight to other teams and create chances for themselves, so Inter's lack of creativity in midfield doesn't really matter.
What I am getting at, is that Juve have neither great technical ability or creativity (from all but 3 or 4 of their players) , nor do they have a forward line who can operate without midfield support. This worries me.
I'm sure you are all going to shoot my arguments down in flames, but you have to admit that Juve doesn't have either of these things that the Milan teams can call upon (and Roma etc). Yes there is the Juve fighting spirit, but that is not enough.
I want Moggi to bring in more technically minded players (i.e. Rosicky), so we don't end up relying on players like Tacchinardi who can't open a bag of crisps let alone the opposing defence.
