Keep it up, I’m sure if I was the one doing this, it would be considered as “sarcastic”.

That's what you get for years of sarcastic posts and sophisticated trolling :D

I really am queasy about Rano starting this, de Vrij is very important for our game starting with the ball from deep.

Lecce had a decent amount of success in creating quality attacking opportunities against us. We really need either de Vrij or Godin starting in the middle.

imo, none of the defensive issues v lecce were because of rano. He was the best of the 3 CBs performance-wise, by a fair margin too. So for me, deV or Godin won't make a difference.

The coordination/communication between the WBs and the wide CBs were one issue (especially dealing with off the ball runners running behind the defense; who's going to mark, who's going to drop off and cover the run, who/how they will switch roles). The other and MAJOR issue was the midfield with brozo not being positionally disciplined at all, leaving large gaps in the middle of the field on transition.

We have a couple more games against lighter opposition to work on those.

The midfield defensive problems aren't going away, especially when you have Brozovic and Vecino starting together. It's going to be a problem unless Barella cracks the starting eleven, or even Gagliardini for a game.

Conte will need to figure it out. Because that coupled with the new 3 in-the-back setup make us more vulnerable than last year. Lecce quite frankly was TOO dangerous. Our scoreline looked great but these dudes had easily 3-4 very clear chances....

Anyways, cagliari ran us over just a few months ago with targeted high pressure. Maran is a good coach. Hopefully we are better prepared this time.

For the past two years we have crumbled whenever a team pressed us because of Spalletti's insistence on playing out of the back and our midfielder's lack of ability to string together passes. Really curious to see how Conte copes.

the defense needs to improve for sure but the dominant gameplay can give us 2-3 goals and the opponent needs to play offensive at that point. Brehme will say that we won because of 2 goals after the first minutes, but that's how football can works some times. You can have a good defence like we had in the first year with Spalletti but it will be not enough if the team is tactical not good enough to score.

So if we have at last a decent defence, we could easily beat everyone in the Serie A.
