Don't want, but better than alternatives. We're not matching up with their midfield no matter what we put out there, might as well try to shift focus elsewhere where we're much stronger.

When you have to bench a world class winger it isn't.

People need to stop saying this. Just sheer numbers don't help you. Bentancur-Khedira functioned better than any 3 man midfield last game. It's about defending as a team and staying compact and shifting play quickly. Pjanić-Khedira was great in the final in the first half. You can put 4-5...

Absolutely sell this summer. I don't trust him that he will go back to his old form if we pay him more money because he was so unprofessional this year + Brazillians have always had this problem where they stop caring and ruin their careers way too early. Not many great LBs on the market so I...

Lol Pjanić was our best and most consistent player all season. He's struggling for the past month but he's definitely way better and more important than Marchisio. And yes, physically he is falling apart.

Oh hell no. Claudio is one of my top 5 favorite players ever but dude is falling apart. He still has quality on the ball, but he couldn't cover Benevento counter attacks today, him and Pjanić together would be suicide. No matter what midfield we put out there we can't outplay them, so better...

Nope. One of the best finishers around, conversion rate regularly above 30%.

Except Allegri is not an idiot. As far as Ventura-likes go - still no. Because if one guy does it then everyone starts doing it. And then again you have a problem with too many voices and disagreement between players. Shut up and play, there's other ways to go about it than undermining the coach.

Nah, you're just biased and clueless.

No, there was. Why people dismiss creating one on one situations by our best players vs opposing CBs and FBs as if that's the easiest thing ever is beyond me. Or do you think opposing managers don't care that a dribbler like Costa or Dybala or Robben are going 1v1 close to goal? Whole point of...

No it isn't. Not with the GK, with Marcelo/Varane in the box, he reacted like an amateur.

Except he almost never had multiple defenders against him that night. Higuain did very well, created two very good chances one on one for Costa. Messi would be absolutely amazing and open up space for everyone, as he does anywhere he plays. Stop trying to make Allegri a dud who has no clue how...

Again, Dybala is the main man and he is responsible for both creating and scoring. He did a terrible job that night, and 99% of others in CL. He is not a classic attacking mid, but you compared him with Griezz and even he does a much better job than Dybala. His movement is far better, decision...

Marotta: "Allegri will 100% be training Juventus next season." [RAI]

That's because it was Dybala's job to provide service. He's not a #9, he's a 10. Go look at what kind of chances players like James Rodriguez, Christian Eriksen, Isco, Ozil etc provide for themselves and others in those situations. That's Dybala's role right now, and being able to get the ball...

No, that's Dybala's role. Team did brilliantly to get him the ball in very dangerous areas and he did nothing with it. Same for Costa. Higuain switched sides two times in the first half and gave him the ball 1 on 1 vs Marcelo/Ramos and he fucked up both times. Dybala got 1 on 1 with Ramos and...

No, we played very well and created quite a few nice chances but some were ruined by Dybala/Costa/Sandro before it even came to a shot. And then Higuain and Cuadrado had good chances in the end too to make 2-3. If we play the same way in Madrid without idiotic errors by Chiellini or someone...

Maybe stories but I heard them directly from within the club, so if a certain player's agent is lying or misinterpreting stuff then so am I. But even if not for them it's not too hard to notice from interactions during games, videos from training, player statements where some guys never...

Lol what? We played a very good game against RM. Individual errors and Dybala red card was why we lost.

Sell Dybala and buy SMS. Mutiny is probably too harsh of a word but I know for a fact that he and Dybala are not speaking at all. Costa only spoke to him in the beginning and Sandro is not too fond of him either. They're apparently dissatisfied how he shuffles his tactics too much (pretty...
