QUOTE (servbot @ Sep 1 2013, 05:32 AM)  It's not like it's the coach's responsibility to play a system that is tailored to the players' strengths and shield them from their weaknesses. Oh wait... Who said it isn't? But if I gave you an egg, some carrots and a fish I couldn't exactly expect you to make a pizza. We have very limited players. There's only so much you can do with them and that's why IMO we have struggled against other top teams. The energy in Juve and Napoli's midfield is just too much for us. QUOTE (han2503 @ Sep 1 2013, 09:46 AM) Kurt, the only thing frustrating about Juve is that they have a top class coach, which imo is on the same level as Mourinho imo. I think that's a little OTT. If he'd have won the Champions League with that Juve team he took over that would be more comparable to Mourinho. The team he had in his first season with Juve was probably better than the Porto that won the CL anyway. |

The team he had in his first season with Juve was probably better than the Porto that won the CL anyway. I think you're going OTT with your description of our team as well. Allegri has a good squad. Not Juve good but for Serie A it's still not the disaster you speak of. Allegri should be doing better with the team he has, especially in terms of how they perform week in week out. As for the Mourinho comparison, I explained to dst about why I said that. I think in terms of tactical know-how he's on the same level as Mourinho and has man-management skills that rival Mourinho. No right now he hasn't got the silverware to back that up YET, but like I said, he's only been coaching a top flight team for 2 full seasons |

Roma have so much talent in their midfield it's ridiculous
Still think they'll underachieve as usual but it's still great to watch |

Rossi has scored 2 today.
He now has 3 goals in 2 games since his return. Impressive considering how long he was out for! Good news for Italy!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/king.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/king.gif) We should have gone for him when we had the chance. Such a talented guy, and he's a self-professed Milan fan as well |

QUOTE Samp catch Genoa spy! By Football Italia staff (IMG:http://football-italia.net/sites/default/files/imagecache/main_photo/[type]/[nid]/delpra490sg.jpg) In a frankly bizarre twist, Sampdoria caught a Genoa scout dressed in camouflage gear spying on their training ahead of Sunday’s derby. The two local rivals will face off at Marassi on Sunday at 19.45 UK time. Click here for a match preview. It seems Genoa were hoping to gain an advantage, but were left red-faced when Primavera youth team goalkeeping Coach Luca Del Prà was caught spying on Samp’s training session. It was Sampdoria who revealed the strange story with a statement on their official website and photograph of the man dressed in full camouflage gear to hide in the bushes outside the Bogliasco camp. “We knew the derby was a matter of nerve, tactics and strategy, but we frankly never expected it to become a matter of espionage,” read the Sampdoria site. “And yet, in Genoa, this too can happen. Just two days before the big match, Delio Rossi ordered training behind closed doors and an emissary from the other team was asked to spy on the tactical systems for Sunday night. “It was a real secret mission set by the Genoa generals, a military action with full camouflage gear and mountain boots. “Like a would-be Rambo hidden in the Poggio bushes, Luca Del Prà, Coach of the Primavera youth team goalkeepers from the club of such noble descendants, could not fight the counter-measures of the Blucerchiati’s intelligence services. “However, there are no prisoners, nor bloodshed. Once he was caught in the act, with his hands in the cookie jar, the soldier from the other side was set free so he could return to base. “After all, one must always forgive enemies, as nothing irritates them more.” (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Hilarious! |

Pirlo though is really looking bad as of late, some misplaced passes today, getting knocked off the ball a couple of times, he was the same way with Italy as well. I think his age is finally getting to him with all the games he's been playing on a consistent basis for Italy and Juve. He's basically looking like he did with us in his final 2 years or so. Still a class above everyone else we have on this team but he's really waning. |
