Motta:"There’s no such thing as a perfect moment to face City. I don’t think there ever is crisis for a team like city . We will give our best, trying to limit their play while expressing our own."
This is in fact the perfect time, on any given day we would lose, but this Mottaball will earn us another draw, irrespective of how good or bad city is.

just read his post-match comments on tuttojuve. the last q+a was telling:

Oggi la peggior Juve della stagione? È mancato Thuram?
"Non è mancato nessuno. Un problema tattico ed è colpa mia. Non siamo stati in grado di superare la pressione".

was this the worst juve of the season? was thuram missed?
we missed nobody. there was a tactical problem and it's my fault. we couldn't deal with the pressing.

exactly, that's something i also made a remark on in the live bread. bologna did well to press with 5 players constantly, from the moment perin touched the ball, and we couldn't handle it at all. and that's where motta was wrong: fagioli and locatelli both played a very bad game, thuram was missed very much as they couldn't tackle him without a foul, he should have started or at least been subbed in at half time. thuram and koop are two mids who can handle intensity. either of them should always play alongside locatelli, and i'd even try them as our double pivot. after the subs, that's what happened when yildiz moved to the middle between cisco and mbamgula. that's something to explore, much more dynamic than anything fagioli and locatelli can offer. i really hope motta draws the same conclusion and we won't see fagioli and locatelli together

I don’t understand how we managed our midfield. It looked like a 4-1-1-1-2-1, had the idea often that Locatelli, Fagioli and Koopmeiners stood in a vertical line, looking to the field from our goal.

The obvious thing for me seems a normal 3-man midfield. Said it before and quite sure I’ve seen more people asking for it.

It's almost like he planned it, casually unzipped his jacket as he walked out :madmax:

- - - Updated - - -

So it's a negative draw or a healthy loss incoming?

If we somehow win it would be a disaster
Intriguing isn't it, can we be the team that turns around Guardiolas fortune or the team that lives by it's name, Drawventus.

What is confusing for me is that we couldnt build out from the back. My guess is that Motta wanted to play Fagioli and Loca to beat their press with passes, we often had all of our 3 mids flat when building out from goalkeeper kicks but nearly always went for long balls. It's just very odd, if the plan was to beat them with passing out from deep why not play Di Gre?

Regardless of what he wants to do in the future we must play Koop and one of Loca or Thuram next to him with Yildiz central. 4 4 1 1 defensively and a 4 2 2 2 in attack. Let Yildiz move where he wants but start centrally.

In an ideal world to be honest I'd play something closer to the 4 3 2 1 with Chico and Yildiz quite narrow but we only really have one fullback to make that work and it's Cambiaso. It could work if Chico stays wider and and doesn't have to track back as much with Savona staying lower with our center backs and Loca hanging back as well with Koop pushing forward. We need more bodies centrally making runs to open up space.

I'm fully willing to give him 3 seasons in order to try to implement something, don't care what anyone else says here.


That's what the whole forum is like, and why people post less now.
2 years imo. This year is definitely 'dont judge' territory.

We need to be competing for trophies from next year. I am optimistic because he finished 9th in his first year at Bologna and then improved massively the following year by finishing 4th.

If he's producing the same kind of football with a fully fit squad, then there would be massive concerns but he deserves the benefit of the doubt for now. No other club is dealing with an injury crisis quite like we are atm.

Giuntoli should also support him by having a less chaotic market than this year.

The last 20 years after 15 rounds. Motta has one of the worst records. This is pretty much the level of Del Neri, Ferrara, Pirlo and Ranieri (even a bit worse).
Then again, Allegri won the league in 2015/16 :)

Give me Maifredi’s record. And yes I know he was coach during the 2 points for a win era.

Probably deserves more patience just based on that reaction alone tbh.

Obviously the injury issues have hindered his/our progress and are a valid excuse, but he also sure needs to get his act together in regards to working on the mentality of the players and tweaking his tactics and choices to maximize the most of who is fit and available on each matchday because dealing with multiple injuries will always be a scenario that he will find himself in around this parts.

Facts club confirms this.

It's a judgemental statistic, but still, facts are facts.

Maifredi:"When judging Thiago's work, one cannot ignore the many injuries he has had to deal with. I am convinced that in the long run he will bring his idea of football, but patience is needed.I see more benevolent information towards him. Maybe because even in Turin they have understood that you can't get everything right away. But this story of defensive compactness only holds up in Italy: in the Premier League I don't think the fans celebrate 'clean sheets".
