Not true, and what so. As I say, Mandzukic is Allegris front figure. He is the symbol of this weird team and weird tactics that doesn't work at all. You simply can't afford to play with such a limited and un-involved player at this level. Send him to China already please, together with Allegri...

Not just Matuidi. We play Ronaldo with Mandzukic as well. Another guy with a horrendous technique and a shockingly low pass accuracy.

Has Pjanic ever played with such players? Has he ever been this phenomenal before? It seems a lot of guessing, about a guy who is supposed to be our pillar in midfield. The guy we build around.

We have some options. We definitely have the players needed to attack this fucking Atletico team. So lets go all out and see what happens.

Could also do this: ------------------------Tek De Sciglio-Bonucci-Chiellini-Spinazzola --------Bentancur-Pjanic/Matuidi -----Cancelo--------------------------Costa -------Ronaldo - Mandzukic/Dybala

Oh yeah fuck. But that makes it easy.

I think we need a good Alex Sandro performance as well to turn it around. So I would play him if he seems ready. And Dybala instead of Matuidi or Pjanic.

I think we will see some decent attempt at getting back. Allegri cant use his pussy tactics, which is what has always held us back. Just hope Costa will be back and that we will have no other injuries. We will probably score the first goal and get close with some chances, but then get executed...

Probably a good thing and thanks for the 'funny'. That pool joke turned out better than I expected, unless that was not the funny part lol

Could be argued that there is a small foul there. It is actually quite often given. But since they just got a goal ruled out and they clearly deserved to rape up, then I think it got ignored.

Those posts are your most intelligent contributions, so keep them coming. Not getting in that water though, we just saw how he crapped himself when surrounded by Atlectico players. :eek:

Based on our currently available players, I would say yes. But I would find space for Costa if he is available. Make or break, his toplevel is 10 times higher than Berna can dream of, and we absolutely need that level right now. Regarding Mandzukic, probably play him up top like that yes but it...

Exactly, I was thinking the same when reading it. Sounded really worrisome what he said. It is a huge confession he is coming out with.

The first lineup is way more coherent. Youve got clearly defined roles. Excellent width with Alves, Sandro and Cuadrado. Mandzukic younger and more useful than today as well, and letting Sandro raid that whole flank on the outside. Less passengers, more work being done. Khedira and Pjanic with...

So we have one of the best football players in the world in Cancelo, yet we cant use him in the most important game of the season. Would that not normally mean that we would need to replace him with a new player that we can actually use? How does this make sense.

I hope that is the explanation. Else we are looking at 9 players we need to replace this summer (Ronaldo and Szcz stays).

He was very poor indeed. But who wasnt. It was too easy for Atlectico to be all on him as they know he was our only player to carry the ball forward. I think there was too much on his plate today and he handled it badly. He has had many good games this season and is one of our most important...

Exactly. Many call that game against Real last year one of our best performances. However Real created even more chances than we did and we got lucky or were just super effective to convert on ours. However, we were BEHIND with 3 goals at that time, so it is difficult to look at those 80 minutes...

I dont think it will happen in a long time. We are too shy, too traditional and Italian. Hats off to the board if they actually make a move for a foreign coach to try to bring in some much needed fresh ideas, to stop us from shooting ourselves in our foot repeatedly.

Not just Allegri. We have many people in here who would love to get rid of our creative players, simply to 'limit mistakes'. I think that is part of our Italian DNA too. Fielding a full team of players like Matuidi, Padoin, Pjanic, Mandzukic, De Sciglio etc, where you dont see them attempt...
