I agree. I'm not a fan of the tactics or where are lot of the personnel were used today.

I couldnt care less about the tactics or personnel...I just wanna win!

Tagliavento is such a douchebag

ADP coming on...not sure about that :shisha:

Licht... Lol

ADP with some composure...sweet! :shisha:

When the tactics aren't working well, I do care. It's worked well defensively, but offensively there isn't a whole lot going on except poor shot selection.

Our left side has nothing going on as far as offense or possession.

Tagliavento...

Really disappointed
Quagliarella should have played from a lot earlier too
Surprised to see Alex at all as well

Absolutely no determination to win. Everybody looks like; oh well. one point is fair enough. and wtf referee? He added 3 min at at least 1.5 of them were not played due to distractions!!! LOL this is a match of shame. I'm so frustrated right now - Udenese had NOTHING we MUST win games such as these ffs

I was very disappointed. Those tactics didn't work well at all on the attacking end. It would have been nice to see some true attacking wingers like Elia or Krasic in a game like this. Too much of the attack was going through the central midfield and things looked far too crowded to create anything worthwhile.

I think its a good result! We have played almost all the top teams away...and we havent been beaten! This was a tough physical game...I firmly believe that we could remain undefeated for a while and I am sure we will be in CL next season :shisha:

Determination is a MUST. Rather lose to Udinese then play like today

Esti had a better second half. Mostly because he defended more , his attacking was very average. Agree with Luca, Quag should've came on around half time. Matri was awful. Not his game.

Now we can look forward to the mercato

A bit confused why Pepe was upfront today instead of Quag. Yes Pepe has been in goal scoring form but his goals have come from finding space from the right wing and running in. Putting him upfront was never going to be great.

Matri today was a train wreck. He plays much better with a creative player behind him, not Pepe.

Our defence today for the most part was solid. The 3-5-2 would be better with Quag upfront. For a team with too many strikers to only use one at a time is a bit poor.

However, away games to Inter, Napoli and Udinese are over. When the reverse fixture arrives Juve should take the points. Forza Juve.

Now time to sit back and wait for signings.

Totally agree about your Matri point. I can't wait to see Vucinic back in the lineup.

I disagree, yes Matri was awful but pepe has played alongside him all year if u Havnt noticed. Pepe plays central most weeks and lich covers rm. I think it was more the fact today esti player alot more defensive and didn't attack as much. When esti did attack we saw Matri in alot more dangerous positions.

Pepe only plays externally when we are defending otherwise he plays central

How much Vuci is missed its unbelievable

I have nothing against Pepe, but I prefer his wider positioning when a true SS like Vucinic is in the lineup. We have scored in other games without Vucinic and Pepe has repeatedly redeemed himself. However, the offense doesn't look as organized when Pepe is playing in a type of SS role. I'm just looking forward to having a more complete formation out there with Vucinic and Matri/Quags up front.

I watched a bit fell asleep, woke up within it, fell asleep, woke up for a final try and fell asleep again

and funnily enough anytime my eyes fluttered open, it was Pepe who had the ball.

p.s: I have been up since 6am so by the time the game started, I was completely off the hook...

Pepe never played as the ss though. Pepe was relied upon in the 3-5-2 to make plays for Matri. In the 4-2-4/4-3-3/4-2-3-1 this was never the case.

(sorry for my lower case s's but my s key is broken and I have to copy + paste the lower case letter in every time I need it )

The 3-5-2 or whatever you want to call it was just too much. Too many players were being asked to play multiple roles. Licht was pushing forward too much. Esti was better at defending than attacking. Pepe was playing an odd role SS/RW role. It was just a bit too much of an experiment. It defended well. If the goal was to get a 0-0 draw it was a great formation.

Realistically, it felt like 5-3-2.

Vucinic has been missed these last few games...he really is class...I just dont understand why Roma would sell him to another serie a team
