Thiago "The Fired Fraud" Motta (178 Viewers)

[Quetzalcoatl]

here is the issue. if the solution is to cross/pass to vlahovic/replacement and inshallah a goal, then even if he starts producing harry kane like numbers, juventus will still struggle because teams will just man mark vlahovic. and situation will be be back to what we saw last 3 matches.

the better solution would be to have midfielders and wingers that run into the box instead of waiting outside. you know like teams like madrid, city and bayern deploy. even under conte's very diciplined 3-5-2 when juve had mediocre strikers you had mids and wingbacks getting into the box to score goals. i haven't seen this with motta.

I've seen McKennie, Koop and Nico running into the box

Not to say that Vlahovic is the cause of all our problems, but a lot of attacks simply die once they reach his feet. So it's not only a problem with him finishing chances, but destroying chances from being created.

It’s fair to say there’s a lot of stuff that Motta has done that has improved us but there’s equally a lot that’s not working. The lack of creativity wasn’t addressed again in the summer, we brought some solid midfielders but none of them particularly good at that final pass - same situation with the wingers who seem to just be more direct than creative. Out most creative player is Yildiz, and he’s being played out of position on the left when he is far more influential centrally.

A midfield duo of McKennie and Locatelli says it all really. Neither player can play a killer pass, they’re just steady and workmanlike. Luiz was supposed to be a step up in quality but he’s not getting the opportunity, Koop is a goal scorer but again - he doesn’t get service because we have no creative players.

Motta is going to need to drill some play routines and movements into these guys because we can’t rely on natural ability. Yes it doesn’t help that Vlahovic is the footballing equivalent of a lump of lead either. Potentially Yildiz as a false 9 with Mbangula on the left would be worth a shot

I wouldn’t be against this idea. I also thought Cabal and The Count seemed to understand each other well on that left flank.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Motta has already improved more players in a matter of a couple of months than Allegri ever did in 2 spells at this club.

 

[Claudio Gentile]

Motta will be fine. Loving Max and appreciating Motta are not mutually exclusive. Many ways to skin a cat. Not sure Dusan fits Thiago…
6 games played 9 goals 1 against and zero losses is an excellent start…

Antonio Cassano: “I tore Allegri apart because he was awful, and I still think that. After six games, I have to say the same about Thiago. He’s done nothing so far. In the early matches, the team stayed behind the ball and then counter-attacked. It didn’t convince me, and I said they wouldn’t make the top four; now it’s even worse. I know and respect Thiago; he’s not like Allegri, who isn’t a coach but Thiago looks more like a Defensive coach. Today I see the same Juve as last year, but they’ve been awful for the last three years and still look awful in the league so far.”

lets agree that we shouldnt quote him on this forum, just like Ziliani. His opinion doesnt matter, he is retarded.

 

[Huidada]

Yeah, fuck that ugly retard.

Dude probably got rejected by Juventus for being ugly. Can never forget when he hugged Del Piero from behind whispering how much he wanted to join Juve.

rofl hilarious… one of the most absurd scene on sports. Can smell desperation through the TV.

on a brighter note, I heard that his son is in a romantic relationship with Sergio Ramos’s brother.

 

[Robee]

Allegriball lives on.

 

[Rockets]

Still too small a sample to judge. I will wait until Motta throws his jacket for the first time, only then will we all realize that it's all coming back.

 

[s4tch]

Allegriball lives on.

mottaventus also ranks:
- 2nd @ possession
- 1st @ passing accuracy
- 2nd youngest @ fielded players
- 5th @ progressive carries
- 1st @ goals conceded
- 1st @ xg against (and by a mile, it's 1.8 so far, with the rest ranging between 4.1 and 8.8)
- 1st @ total distance of passes
- 2nd @ distance of progressive passes

etc

none of what gds wrote is surprising after a treble of 0-0's. at least we can actually defend instead of defending a lot. and i'm sure we'll start scoring

 

[CrimsonianKing]

Comparing us today to the last 3 seasons of nothing but torture is ridiculous. We’re a solid team that needs to figure out better ways to attack and that will come with time.

What Motta did in just a few months with a bunch of newcomers is actually impressive.

And what does this highly regarded gentleman have to say about his former teams that are below this disgusting Juve team (Inter, Milan, Roma)? They must be even worse, no?

 

[Lion]

Ok but zero shots on target at home is a worrying thing

 

[s4tch]

Ok but zero shots on target at home is a worrying thing

that's bad obviously. never happened though:

@Amer shitting bricks now: team facts or back lion, sorry bro

 

[Lion]

My bad bro. I watched the entire match and don’t remember which shot actually went on target. Was it the yildiz one where he cuts inside After a dribble? Cuz that looks it went wide of the net

my point still stand. 1 shot at target is worrying stat

 

[Amer]

that's bad obviously. never happened though:

@Amer shitting bricks now: team facts or back lion, sorry bro

I'm proud of you both.

Im disappointed at you and your pussy cat buddy. Bunch of spammers.

If it was up to me you’d get a bald lion avatar just like his.

If we win 10 more games before the year ends, he just might.
