Every time Juve's 3 man backline gets transformed into 4-man, they get split open and leak goals like a faucet (see entire Confed Cup, Euro Final vs Spain). They play much better defensively as a 3-5-2 and seeing as we had the second most goals in Serie A last year with the horrible attack we had, I think we'll be just fine once Carlos and Fernando get going. Everyone needs to relax, it was a meaningless friendly.
yea of course they play better because no only do you have 3 cbs but you have to wide players coming to make it a back 5 and not only that but then you have pirlo, marchisio, and vidal in front of the cbs.

Its not so much the results. It is more of our in game performances. Things we probably learn in training. Movement, link up play, the 1-2s. I didn't see it with Tevez-Llorente in attack either. They suffered from a problem we had last year too. Nothing to link the mid to them. Sassulo completely outplayed us, even moreso than Milan. You could put that down to enthusiasm, but also the fact that we were making basic mistakes and not showing any signs of new ideas learnt over the past two weeks. Like I mentioned earlier. If you compare this wi our performances in the past tim editions under Conte. You'd find, we may not have won, but we had a flair and signs of what was to come in those matches. Admittedly, we are missing our entire midfield save Vidal and we've got a defense on holiday, so a lot of that will of course make a difference. But we still had the personnel that could and should have taken the game to a team like Sassoulo, not the other way round. Don't care about the result. It was about our overall play that lacked inspiration and technique.
Sorry :lol:

Yannick Djaló was the new Luis Figo in 2011.

Pirlo is Juventus. Without him we suck and I hate that so much. WE are far too reliable on Pirlo and when he doesnt show up no one will. We need to get rid of this dpl. We need a formation where Pirlo isnt the only outlet for ideas. We need to stick tactics and get a player like Bonaventura who can allow us to play with an am or play as a trequartista and or winger
