You know Bonucci played a good game when his thread is this quiet after a game - especially after a loss.

You don't think there is an good chance Juve-Atletico will decide who finishes top of the group? Would that motivate the teams enough to play another game like tonight?

Agreed. Tevez was doing nothing and taking off a midfielder made it harder for Juve to build attacks. - - - Updated - - - So what qualifies you to comment?

Yeah, I said as much in my first post with my general overview of the match.

Yeah, in retrospect, this may have been a game where Juve would have been better off playing Llorente and Tevez right up against the opposition defence in the way they did last season. Even if it still would have been hard for the forwards to do much, playing against two genuine strikers could...

The comments in this thread are really enlightening as to the people who either don't watch football or suddenly view it completely differently when Juve are playing. Atletico won La Liga last season, nearly won the CL and have already got a draw and two wins against Real Madrid with these...

:tup:

Not a bad performance and Juve can feel somewhat unlucky to not get a point from the game. Essentially, nothing happened in that game, aside from the two sides kicking lumps out of each other. Juve had the ball for extended periods in safe areas and Atletico watched Juve having the ball...

:agree: Heaps of folk bought Aberdeen/Atletico scarves when we played them. And what happens if you wander around Aberdeen in a red, white and blue scarf? People assume you are a Hun, and you don't want that.

Note all the Aberdeen kits on display? Folk showing team colours are far less likely to fight. It's the Casuals who will have been off where the action was.

Frente just wanted to throw things, rather than have a fight. They started things and then hid behind the police. Pussies. - - - Updated - - - I'm more like to take umbridge at being called a fool than being called a cunt, for instance.

Afternoon lecture cancelled. Time to get out onto the golf course. :weee:

Counting down to this evening's Aberdeen game. Going for a fourth home win in 11 days and a fifth home win in a row. Can already feel the bar calling me...

It's a little twist towards playing with a back four, like what happened in the first half against Milan, but it's not fully committing to it. That shape is also partly dependent on Caceres playing, as you probably aren't going to ask Ogbonna to play quite as wide as Caceres is comfortable...
