What 83 Points Can Be and What of Next Season

[Skippy5 132]

I am not surprised by the low number of points for us this year, although it looked like we should get a lot more.  83 is the lowest of the 9 scudetti, but only to '08/'09 did another do better to win and only for '07/'08 would another's total be good enough to beat Juventus current 83 in the 20 team Serie A. 

We struggled to play well this year, but this is not uncommon under a new boss (Conte's first year was not without difficulty, and Allegri was being voted out by us before he started).  If we are to keep Sarri, I would like to see the Champions League finish for us on Friday so that a pre-season can happen properly for our squad and make next year 10.

do you know defense with man marking and active visual control?

[giglioeugenio 13.351]

defense with active visual control, elastic, in order to not take evitable/inevitable goals

We can see it in many days, but our biggest problem just stand tall in front of us: half team should be changed, for the usual 3 reasons: injuries, motivations, age! 

 

Then we can talk about visual active control...

we play to win we play to go as far as possibile in champions league. it is not in our forma mentis to think to the next season if this is still in progress. our player will have time to rest and the staff will have time to program the new season

Why? With or without Sarri it would be a disaster being kicked out of the UCL this way. Worst than last years' match against Ajax

This Serie A season has been very different from the last 8.

But 7 defeats and 43 goals against are too many for the team who has a vision to enter in the top 4 European teams.

Sarri isn't a good manager for me.

[KillVearn 2.108]

Let's face it, Sarri has been a complete failure and we don't have the means to proceed with this experiment any further.

Of course the management has had its faults, the team is indeed badly structured and a lot of players are at the end of the road, but that doesn't mean that we should accept how bland our attacking gameplan has been or how shoddy our defence has been. Sarri has axed good players and ruined others for the sake of proposing his football, which by the way we have never seen in Turin. Sticking with him next season would be a disaster, winning this league regardless of his presence was already a miracle and a solid proof that even a sloth would be winning a scudetto while managing us at present.

I'll borrow a statement from our Chelsea friends: "Feck Sarriball".

And the cat is on the head of Antonio Conte 

[PR20 11.944]

Beating Lion and reaching the next stage of UCL is worth around 15million.
It could mean, for example, closing the year profit&loss at -25 instead of -40 and having money for example to upgrade Bernardeschi with Zaniolo.
That's far more important, even for next year, than having a week or two longer to prepare the season.

 

You overestimate this so called preparation and what a coach can actually do.

 

If we played shit this year is only because our players did not have the skills to play Sarri's kind of football (and because Sarri does not have a plan B).

Having more time won't change that.

At Napoli for example it took only a few weeks for the players ti start playing Sarriball.
Giving up a possible quarter final to have a few weeks more of preparation after you already had a year is just silly, imho.

Too many draws, but quality of the game during Conte's first year was top notch

[Cloud298 1.336]

It's true that Allegri was voted out before the season started but it's also true that (IMHO) in his first year as coach we played the best football of our 9 years as champion. This is also what we all expected from Sarri but i believe that he was not able to do that because of the lack of midfield players with the right technique to do so.

Are you scared to get hammered by City or what?

I don't think your worry is all about a proper preseason 

[mauro1 80]

  knocked out at such early stage (round of 16) by the weakest team (Lyon) would be absolutely unacceptable.
