I'd be surprised if that was the case. As soon as he was subbed against Samp, I assumed he was going to start tonight.

What's wrong with Pereyra, anyway?

The trade-off with Sturaro playing instead of Pereyra is that Juve may be able to put more pressure on Real Madrid's deep midfielders and win the ball in dangerous situations. Vidal is obviously more likely to manage to do that when trequartista than Pereyra.

It's certainly a blow to Juve as Pereyra has shown how useful he can be in games where there is the space to counter-attack. Harder for Juve to break when they are missing his pace. Nothing insurmountable, though.

Manifest Destiny.

Interesting. That would mean Allegri is really set on playing 4-3-1-2 in this game. Ordinarily, Pereyra being out would result in Barzagli coming in and it being 3-5-2.

Astonished to see that the forum isn't abuzz with chatter about the election... I'm outraged to see that those frightful Scots might end up exerting undue influence in London.

Is being addicted to Football Manager a medical condition? Sometimes, I worry about the effect that Football Manager has had on my life. I’ve had girlfriends I haven’t loved as much as my Uefa Cup-winning Southend United side (CM97-98). So I went to see a doctor...

I was thinking more about him expoiting Pirlo's weaknesses, rather than limiting his strengths.

I don't think I'd strengthen my financial position by just paying myself. Really need to find someone else to give me money.

Alright for the most part. Not relishing having to start seeking employment.

Not really. I've barely seen Real Madrid this season, so don't have much of a basis to form a real opinion.

Oh, yeah. Don't think I watched those game, so they don't really count.

Not yet. Need to wait to see if I've passed...

Expecting a similar approach from Juve to the home game against BVB. Focus on denying opposition space, even if that means going very deep and not having much of the ball, and being very careful when in possession so as to limit counter-attacking chances. - - - Updated - - - Interested to see...

Watched most of it. Wasn't exactly the most thrilling Masters, but what Spieth did was undoubtedly hugely impressive. After the third round Spieth was second in greens hit and first in putting stats. You can't beat that. You played much this season? I've made a fast start to the...

Dissertation complete. :cool: Anything interesting happened around here in the last couple of months? Don't suppose there are many folk around here old enough to have seen Juve play a CL semi before...

Right. Off to get wired into Weegies, Dundonians or whoever the fuck else might be in the vicinity. 'Mon the Dons.

Jock Stein (who knew, apparently) died at the end of the final qualification match. Ferguson was only in charge for the play-off and the World Cup itself. Won two trophies with Aberdeen during that time. Aberdeen also got to the quarter-finals of the European Cup that season. I'm not aware...
