Anyone else found that Torino is doing some cheap knock off of our strategy from last year?
I know I know, we didn't patent the back 3, but just look how they operate: how high their RB presses, even their "77" moves around the way any Inter fan can recognize, just inferior players, less technical, ALSO less detailed, a bit more muscle in the midfield, shifting the AMF like a second striker.
How the fuck did any STUPID Inter fan would want Ivan Juric to replace Inzaghi back then? Like you have to be a real retard, or you simply never watched.

Not to mention he couldn't even add some new elements to the tactics to break deadlock in the final thirds; but one thing I will give him credit for, is his substitutions are not by default, he does adjust according to the game.

Anyway this will still do us good, cause any of their players stand out, it would very easy to blend into our system, like Schuurs and even Buongiorno might be a better fit than Baschirotto.

One last thing Retegui deserves to play at a better club, either way Mancini is really good at spotting this dude, but he won't get too much scoring chances the way his team plays around him, but I guess he can pick up a thing or two to get more all rounded at Geona.

P.S. We have enhanced our gameplay this year, and having a lot more varieties to it too.

Regarding Retegui - I won't let myself be hyped by a one-season wonder, even before he had at least that one season :D

I am not hyping Retegui, like he can at least become Immobile's level. Also he does not seem like Elder or Dia the type that that would have one season wonder and fail miserably in the big clubs, there is just something fundamental different.
And better team means team that can at least content for the 7th spot, just better movements from others and possessions.
It is his play style that I found he will find it harder to look good in his current circumstances.

Have you looked at Immobile's numbers?

Here is the thing, the class and the level of the striker isn't exactly the number of goals, I mean inter fans are spoiled by superb strikers that can just carry the game themselves, but if you look at modern football, it is much more, and even when a striker cannot do what R9 or Adriano did, namely doing part of midfielders' job, or being extremely clinical like Icardi, doesn't make them a bad striker.

Pogba failed a doping test apparently. Not sure how a professional footballer fails a drug test nowadays. Accidentally took two doses or something? They all know exactly when they can be tested so there's no reason for them to be caught really. Anyway, could be a blessing for Juve though as it would be grounds for firing him I suppose

I wouldnt be surprised that Rube himself is behind it. To cancel that fat useless contract of his. They have been clearing out wages etc and Pogba's salary is like throwing money into the fire.

This is the most corrupt club lol.

This happened after the Udinese's game, so let's hope to damage Jube as well. I hope Pogba to play innocent and to put all the balme on Jube. It will be beautiful.

I dont think theres precedence of voiding a result based on a drugs test. Could be wrong.

Karma got to Pogba, he missed the World Cup and now positive for doping. Was black magic returned to him?

I've been thinking exactly the same thing,

With juBe nothing is to far fetched or strange - They'll literally do anything to win or gain an advantage.

Pogba's attitude was always out of whack. The real question is what took them so long?

Juventus have been catching breaks almost their entire existence. Hopefully bad stuff keeps happening to them.
