I would also favor a more attacking wise formation,
like 4-3-3, instead of the boring 4-4-2, but unfortunately,
our roster favors 4-4-2, we have 4 good wingers, and we shouldnt waste them on the bench, just to use the worst player we got this season, the useless forward named Iaquinta.
Iaquinta was a mistake, we knew that from the beginning, unfortunately, we had to pay a very high fee for this mistake, a fee that would have helped to get a high class CB. Now we got an incompetent forward and absolutely no need to use him, since we have players like Zalayeta and Palladino, who are many times better than he will ever will be. We could have keep Bojinov for half of the money we gave for him...anyway...
CR keep doing his experiments, he fielded a decent team against Napoli, we didnt play impressive just because of Iaquinta, but we were able to control an ambitious Napoli at her home,we we really struggled last year
and even managed to grab the victory, where our 2006-2007 squad, failed.
I dont understand what is happening with Chiellini, our defense is our weakest spot and he is our best defender, why CR isnt using him is beyond me,
i dont think we will replace him either, Molinaro is not a player that would handle a serie A starter, he has 1/3 of Balzaretti's value.
I m also worried on the right back position, CR has decided to use Zebina as the first choice there, its pretty obvious and the second choice is Birindelli, Grygera might be injured now, but he has only been used as a CB under CR,
because of the lack of a proper CB (Boumosng doesnt count, he prove that every time he gets a chance) Andrade's partner will be either Grygera or Chiellini, both of them are best used as full backs and are not as solid, as CBs,
i predict that we will have less than 7 clean sheets through the season...
Our midfield is our strong point, we have many reliable solutions there, our most important player, seems to be Almiron, he is a very influent player, capable both in defense and attack, i was impressed and admired him, right from the first time i saw him in a bianconero jersey and he never failed to confirm me, i insist that he is our best summer acquisition, the Juventus jersey isnt all that heavy for him, he can handle the pressure and the competition,
Tiago isnt that bad either, but he is a step behind, mostly because Almiron has a serie A experience.
Nocerino is a promising player but def not a serie A starter yet, he has a lot to learn alongside Zanetti and soon he will be able to help and become a dominant force in our midfield, he has to learn how to control his rage first.
Zalayeta is becoming an experienced player, he slowly starts to have the feel of the game, he is no longer running up and down like a headless chicken and is capable to support a serious forward of doing his job, not Palla just yet though,
the Palla-Zala duo is our less effective duo, any other combination would do.
I dont know if we will be able to motivate Zala though, he has always been a fair player and a loyal man to our cause, but we shouldnt treat him like that,
he was promised first team football to an inferior team, where he would finally get the chance to sign and we now keep him in our roster, like a hostage, just to teach Iaquinta some of his tricks, its a waste of time, Iaquinta will never learn...
Despite the hype, the "derby" against Inter was considered a meaningless game out of both teams and coaches, we were concentrated on beating a team of our league Napoli and totally gave up against the superiority of the 3rd team of mighty Inter, Mancini did us a favor, he fielded a beatable team just to give us the change to challenge for the "cup", out "uber" motivated team that would "eat" Inter players alive didnt showed up though, we didnt relied on teamwork either,
but that was smth everybody expected from a new team (everybody but a few Juve fans)
All in all, it was a decent performance from our side and the game was actually decided in a detail, it seemed that both Palla and Cesar were in offside positions,
but the refs were accurate enough to do justice, i hope that we wont have to face a less Juve-friendly, arbitration treatment in the championship!
After the goal Inter lowered their standards, they seemed not to have the will to finish us off
and they were just toying with us until the end of the game,
thats why we managed to step up, our game a little bit but not enough, we lacked the decisive player that would do the difference.
We will soon run out of excuses, luckily our team seems to improving a bid,
we still lack consistency, solidity and teamwork
3 factors that would help us a lot and hide our lack of quality in player material,
in our race for the 4th place in the championship...
