Open conversazione

Apologies for any errors in my posts - I am quite intoxicated.

Praise should also be given to Pirlo, though he was not particularly influencial.

As Antonio Conte puts it, "as two days ago he picked up an injury, but (he) grit(ted) his teeth to carry on like a great man."

A win for Juve would put then 13 points clear of Napoli.

That's a big gap.

Don't see Juve winning the game, though.

Thought it was a very good call from Conte to swap Vidal and Marchisio for this one.

Vidal's extra mobility was crucial in covering for Pirlo, who was basically playing on one leg.

Cavani expected to miss the game, but Inler to be fit. Pandev to take Cavani's place.

Estigarrabia and 4-4-2 seems to be Conte's choice, rather than Pazienza and sticking to the 4-3-3.

I think I'd go with 4-3-3, because I like to leave a winger high up the pitch to exploit the space behind the wingbacks, down the side of the CBs, in a 3-5-2. 4-3-3 has also been working very well for Juve against the top sides this season.

Still, should be a good test for Conte and Juve, even if Cavani is missing.

Yeah, Conte got his tactics wrong, even though it's an easy thing to say in hindsight...
Going away to Napoli, it's always more important to avoid getting scored on rather than scoring goals. I think it would've been smarter to start a defensive mid like Pazienza, and then if necessary switch to a more attacking line-up.

We're down 2-0 at halftime, which means he can't really throw a defensive line-up out there.
I wonder if taking Pirlo off might be a good decision. He gave away a penalty, and although it was an unlucky rebound, the second goal as well. Pirlo can't play in a flat 4 man midfield. Maybe we're better off bringing Pazienza on as a holding mid, or bringing him on and switching to a 4-3-3.

First real mistake Conte has made. I'm surprised he started vuci and not either quag's or DP. Vuci looks terrible. Hopefully he comes off, along with Pirlo/Pepe, and Conte brings on Krasic and Quag's/ DP.

Wow what a comeback. We haven't shown this type character and heart for 2 years now. Great result after being down 2 goals twice.

A stupid game, all things considered.

Poor call from Conte to try to match up to Napoli and play a system that Juve have no experience of. Always a recipe for getting out-maneuvered by the team playing their natural game.

That said, the goals and the penalty had nothing much to do with Juve's tactics.

Still, I suppose one has to credit the attitude of the players for dragging themselves back into the game.

Chiellini and Estigarribia did well down the left and Vucinic had an excellent second half.

Pirlo had a nightmare in the first half. With Napoli marking him out of the game, all you saw were his defensive failings.

Bonucci is still an idiot. What he was doing trying to pinch the ball on Napoli's third goal, I'll never know. All he had to do was stay on his feet and get tight and Pandev would have had no chance to score.

Draw away to Napoli isn't a bad result, though.

Bonucci: Blame me for Napoli goal

By Football Italia staff






Juventus stopper Leonardo Bonucci has accepted responsibility for Napoli’s third goal in Tuesday’s 3-3 draw.

The Azzurri went 3-1 up after Goran Pandev took advantage of the Italian international’s misjudgement to slot the ball past Gigi Buffon.

“I’m really disappointed with the third goal we conceded,” the former Inter and Bari man noted.

“I was sure that I could beat Pandev to the ball, but unfortunately it went the way it did. That goal was my fault.

“Hopefully this incident will make me stronger and improves my concentration.

“I’ll take everyone out for dinner to make up for my error.”

Although disenchanted with himself, Bonucci has applauded his teammates for their reaction at the San Paolo to take home a point.

“What can I say? We have the character of a lion,” the centre-back continued. “It was a great game and the result has given us even more strength and conviction.

“Now we have an improving Cesena on Sunday in Turin and it won’t be an easy game for us. But we are obliged to win in our own home!”

A system of play isn't that hard to learn or adapt to. The development of their talents are more important at that age. The tactical system they're taught will surely change by the time they make their way into the senior squad.
