He was a monster, played very well and defended Ronaldo as well as he could. He had no option but to do the penalty, the guy as ready to score and he was covering Chiellini who was out of position. WC level season

Why the hell did Allegri insist so much for this guy... when healthy he's a decent sub. That's it. We desperately need to sell Sandro and get 2 real good fullbacks now, who can provide offense and speed and not be a disaster on defense. When I see Marotta complimenting Darmian I cringe, though...

Never thought he could play like this. He was our best player by far and away in the first half. Created all space and managed to use his incredible quickness/acceleration.

That's what I asked. Apparently he tried to offside Ronaldo.. it was brutal..

This could be a home run. You sell Higuain and get at least 50M, plus get rid of the highest salaries of the club, leaving money aside for the midfielder we need; and instantly improves the team by having perhaps the perfect modern 9, leaving space for players who are real wingers. Too bad...

Adrenaline settled down, guys were exhausted. It was only natural they would go back, it was not optional.

Listen, I try to recognize Higuain's virtues as most as I can. In Italian football, he's an absolute killer. I have the opinion that last season, we only got scudetto because of him -almost exclusively because of him. But to me it's very clear now that he's not good enought to lead a team to a...

Getting rid of Sandro is important right now. We absolutely need 2 fullbacks and 2 midfielders. But most importantly, 2 fullbacks. Marcelo and Carvajal make all the difference in the world for Madrid.

IMO his model has reached its peak. We'll never win Europe with it. What's his model? Go for security; high floor, lower ceilling. Sign experienced guys that will give you security of getting the job done decently well; but who will never explode or develop into cream of the top. I'm talking...

Read the third act. What followed Vasquez being left alone? But you're right, the loss is absolutely not on him.

Chiellini giveth Chiellini taketh. Despite playing like the monster he is, he still almost gifted a goal to Isco from bad passing; scored an own goal; and left the small box for no good reason, only to leave Vasquez alone. All that said, he is a legend. But our ceilling is lower with guys...

Yes, it was..

This is either on Chiellini or Sandro. If you see the replay, when Kroos prepares to pass to Ronaldo, Chiellini goes off trying to create an offside; but Sandro keeps following Ronaldo. The huge space where the penalty happened is where Chiellini should be. Anyway, this team wouldn't have...

Juve has been spending low on transfer fees but very high on salaries, we are probably at the limit. This is not changing soon, unless they get rid of some of the older guys who make too much money and it is questionable if they will revert money for the club in fees (ex. Khedira, Mauidi...

The defeat/draw is so imminent due to the quality disparity between the teams on midfield, that I actually think Juve will pull a surprise and secure a solid 2-0 win. The pregame atmosphere is too similar to last year's vs Barca.

Is the Moroccan out? If so, that's the team I'd like to see there. Need 3 men mid (can't comitt the same mistake again), need 3 forwards, 2 of them ae very in form.

He corrected a clear and obvious mistake by putting Costa in.. lost 45 mins because of that. But his option to take Matuidi out and insert Cuadrado really sealed it, that was 100% merit and Khedira decided the game.

Man, Douglas Costa is on absolute FIRE

Khedira MoM

YES! Khedira assist :nico:
