If youre talking about our February schedule: we are not in the knockout stage and still can qualify without playing the starters. If you mean the Liverpool game: We lost at home 2-0, we should have won at least 2-0 to draw at the stamford bridge. We focused so much on that game that Serie A became secondary

Well, that might be true, maybe he was not doing it in purpose. But somehow it feels like he always gave a shit about CL and especially in our case it was the best thing. So im not sure if we would run away with the scudetto like youre saying but probably they had less points now.

Thats true, Inzaghi has already won a lot of trophies. But he won only 1 scudetto for now and again, i feel like he was and could become again the reason, why we don't win the league.
You really believed by focusing on "one" more CL match, we threw away the Scudetto that season?!

Anyhow, I don't get the mindset of throwing away the CL for the sake of the league. For various reasons we somehow sucked at the CL for decades. How many Scudettos have we actually won in those times? Before Mancini and Mourinho the number was 0 and after that only 1 under Conte. But in this process we lost a lot of money by failing to progress in the CL (translation= sucking at it) while getting no reward in the league as well. This approach is a lose-lose situation and we should not advocate it. You don't throw away a CL tie for losing the first leg 0-2. Teams have fought back and qualified from worse results. The reasons we failed to win the league that season is not because of that one match!

Then what was the reason? We were dominating the league and as soon we had too much games to play (January-February) we started to lose points.

We lost the title that year because the squad had no depth. We lost to an inferior squad that season and everyone knows it.

History is about to repeat itself. Zero squad depth and blow the league to an inferior side.

I believe we'll win the league but not so convincing like last season but next year i don't know .. next year I'm sure our rivals will spend left and right and we'll spend nothing.

Its all cute , but its not Real Madrid or Manchester United, but P$G and +10 millions per year compared to Nipples FC

Naples might still be a city so crazy they steal your pizza while youre about to take a bite . Pasta making grandma mafiosi on scooters robbing you in a daylight city centre.

Meh bbilan aint gonna spend much more then we are and they are waaaay off of us... Napoli ofcourse will once again lose it s best players and wont spend...
And jube well honestly they have shown 0 sign of having a plan thus far and just like bbilan are quite a bit behind us....
Highly doubt will lose out cause we get outspent.... Much likelier that Beppes master strokes finally com to an end.

Nah man. Did Moratti do Eto dirty too?
Delaurentis rejected what, 100 120 mill in the summer? Offered him a decent cotract too which was ongoing, but he wanted to leave. Idk if the problem was entirely just about money. Dude has a shit agent too from what I've read. Conte actually said smth along the line of "regret that I failed and wasn't able to convince him to stay". He really just wanted to leave. 10 Million/year and better chance at champions league maybe (even tho is psg lol). Don't forget this guy is also the face of Georgia in football.

Don't be fooled by that video. I know I broke your heart now but I'll tell you everything later lol.
Class act is staying with the harder team, not leaving in mid season, or take the renewal and get sold for more. Too much social media, let me go see whatsup with Icardi and his shit now lol

I think it's simply about ADL not giving him the contract he was promised (after the Scudetto season). And now it was just too late and Kvara made the decision.

By too much games you mean that one game against Liverpool?

We lost that scudetto for various of reasons: lack of depth, wasting chances, struggling in defence. All the points we've lost through the season had a hand in the final outcome. I don't like to single out one game for the failure, but if we had to pick up one, it has to be the loss against our direct rival Milan. But at the end, the points are points. Doesn't matter if you gain or lose it against a bigger team or a weaker team.

How did Conte do Kvara dirty? From the first moment he joined he was saying he wanted Kvara to stay and ditched his favorite 3-5-2 in Italy over a system with wingers to accomodate him. Even now he was saying he's disappointed Kvara is leaving.

This was solely between Kvara and De Laurentiis.

Sure but all this things came also from player playing too much at the beggining of the year.

I'm finding myself in the unusual position this season of enjoying Juventus drawing games as much, if not even more than them losing. I can think of nothing funnier than them managing an unbeaten season and yet failing to qualify for the Champions League.

Think about the anxiety the next Juve games will bring to juventini. The next game when they lead, again, and then concede at the end and extra time seconds are almost done..

They will lose it lol. 14th draw!

They will have 20 draws in May!

If they sell Cambiaso for 70 millions they don't need top4 , because CWC is happening too and thats 30-40 millions minimum to each participant , but for the image and transfer spending in the last summer they absolutely need top4.

Then imagine , 5th place, no UCL places, summer comes , another problem rises>> Vlahovic and 12 million net wages. Try to sell him then with 1 year remaining!

They are desperate to find a buyer this January, but nobody is taking a bait.

Don't have one.

Yeah, and you just know conte already pocketed this moment for his famous meltdown press conference that will inevitably happen sometime in the future.:lol: Alongside the famous "I can't win with players from sassuollo/cagliari", generally complaining about club's ambitions and many other similar hits.

Pulisic is out against Juve, which is somehow a big deal.
