Never. Using Vecino is a bad idea alone. But you want Vecino high , Sensi high... Do you realise how big gap would that leave in our defence ? I think current system is good.

10 years of FIFTo be fair i dont think theres another team in serie a that has three defenders that are individually as good as these three are.
As in if you have these three at your disposal you better end up having the best defense in serie a otherwise you did something wrong.

I like our chances of getting stronger as the season goes on, unlike previous seasons. Every team is finding their stride early on, especially Juve and Milan, so I'm happy we're winning games while our play has been somewhat inconsistent.

Slightly off topic, but it appears that alot more teams are playing with 3 at the back this season ?

10 years of FIFthis is true, noticed this too. We played already 2 teams with the 3 man defence, im curios to see how we will play against teams with 4 man defence like Milan on saturday.
I watched the Inter-Slavia press conference. I like how Conte keeps talking about motivation and that we don't have to make us season targets because we would only create a limit. I honestly don't know how much football italia translates what he says but it's always interesting what he says, he is always very honest. Not like Spalletti that talks 3 hours to say things that we already know.

10 years of FIFNostradamusMost Passionate MemberIt's actually less than in previous years. Usually more than 10 teams play with 3 at the back, this year there's only 8-9 teams including us.

FIF Special OnesForum Supporter10 years of FIFIt's becoming increasingly clear that Conte is basically Spalletti with a different formation and a much more expensive squad.
Shitty subs.
Shitty Football.
No plan B.
They even bring up a CB when a goal is needed.
12 million euros and 200 million to give this guy all the shit he wanted for this?

10 years of FIFNostradamusMost Passionate MemberSpalletti is a better coach than Conte, it's that simple. Might sound painful or silly to some but they'll come around. Assuming they notice that Spalletti never has the levels of resources Conte has.
Even at Juventus, everyone is like "they were 7th", but all along they didn't care because they were waiting for their new stadium and once in, their budget rocketed to Milan and Inter levels. Still had to cheat to win.
Embrace reality guys, Conte is not some magician.

10 years of FIFNostradamusMost Passionate MemberIt's a philosophy issue, not a matter of a single result. We can win the game 3-0, still won't change this.
But I trust that we will end up losing to them at least once this season. Hopefully not this Saturday because shit will hit the fan.
Even statistically it makes sense to lose one of the next few games. Just look at our history since 2010.

FIF Special OnesForum Supporter10 years of FIFIt's more of a matter of arrogance tbh.
We decided not to properly strengthen the team because "Our big signing was Conte". It sounded stupid then and it is even stupider now.
Conte can be as theatrical as he wants on the sidelines but nothing he does is going to make this midfield not shit.
This is an insanely extreme view... Honestly.
Lose a game = Shit
Win a game = God
As if there aren't 11 players on the field or 38 games in the season that also have a say in the matter of how good a team is.

10 years of FIFNostradamusMost Passionate MemberWe have committed over 300m for the coach change and his demands. Our only failure was to get him an extra midfielder that he asked for but that's on him for wanting Lukaku at all costs.

FIF Special OnesForum Supporter10 years of FIFThe Milan Derby isn't just a game. It's a telltale sign for how prepared our coach is and how much our players have bought into their system. If the players don't come out with all guns roaring playing Conte-ball and put up another performance like we saw today then it will say a lot.
Even when things were at their lowest, Spalletti still found a way to win the derby last year.
