I was really happy when we bought him but the problem with these young CBs is that they're gonna be responsible for a shitload of frustrating goals, then have one great season and be off to Juve. Or not have that season and still be on our books.
Yup. They all have potential and make some great plays but like all young CB they make a lot of mistakes.
I was talking about the Bruno cross, Dzeko as usual lazy in the box. These are the goals Borja is scoring every game.
Just compare the players Roma brought off the bench compared to who Juve has brought on. Roma have no business being anywhere near the CL spot
Direct long balls, early crosses. This is what they should have done from the off and the result might have been very different. Roma played exactly how Juve wanted them to. They have always used this. Happy to play shit and wait for the opportunities that will always come throughout the game. I fell for this when Conte was in my charge thinking we were the better team. Wolf in sheeps clothing. They want you to think you're in control and then they win.
this this this. I don't even expect anything else against them away anymore. This has been an exact copy of the games from the last few years. And even though we seemed to be playing better they had more clear cut chances. Our biggest chance to take a point in Torino was when Schick missed that last minute 1on1 against Szcezsny. Only because the ref would've blown the whistle right after.

Positive/negative, reactive/proactive. It's the normal flow of the game with one team falling into making the game and the other countering. If you have two teams who want to be proactive and make the game you have a crazy game like Leeds v CIty. Two negative teams you will have a shit game. We needed to make this a shit game and give Juve something to think about. Surprise them as they knew Roma would bring this. It's the same every year so didnt take much prep. They would either come out and try or it would have been a dull draw/maybe a 1 nil game either way. Take a shit draw anyday in a pressure game as that's a championship mentality. It doesnt always have to be pretty but that's not something Fonseca can do or even see.
In prior seasons, I might agree with you. But I don't think Juve tried to play a shit game this year. That's not what their management and Pirlo are about/looking for now. It's not that Juve sat back intentionally, they just couldn't get control of the game/ball. They had one or two ruthless moments in an otherwise underwhelming performance.
Pirlo was a member of those teams. Its more than likely he took plenty from the experience. Juve are no fine oiled machine this year as they adapt to him but they can easily fall back into default which is what happened here. Nice default to have as they can game an opponent. They have the quality to take the chances that come. It only needs to be one or two. You can see our only chance was to make it an ugly game? Theres no shame in adapting to the circumstance. They didn't like those big crosses. It doesnt always need to be tippy tappy until it breaks down and counter. Put a few bodies in the box, hold most of the team back and dont give them those easy counters because yeah we're going to lose the ball with an odd bad pass throughout a game. But tactics dictate whether they need to be punished as often. . Kardsorp high up the pitch and Byran the only one to cover. Those chances dont have to be given up and it gives them the game on a platter. Roma need to be smarter.
We had 0 shots on goal in the first half. How much of these xG is from chances we only got after we were already 2:0 behind?
Aslong as our A team, looks just marginally better then mid-table junk like sampdoria and our bench team would have real problems even to stay in Serie A.. we will continue to lose and lose. Years of neglect, has given us a god awful team. It was emphasized today, when Cristante was Captain and Jesus came off the bench and did what he always does.... Absolutely nothing. I am sick of seeing Lazio celebrating every bloody season and old twat head Nedved jumping around in the stands.
But nevermind. I am sure the next article from Ed Straaattmen will clear all this up and this was just a "one-off" again. Maybe Vulp will write one of them cringe worthy articles . Can't wait for Saleem to post his propaganda.
