Bernatars unite!

I believe max said in a press conference before either this game or the previous one that he was struggling with gastroenteritis. Arthur did ok in his absence, which I’m hoping allows for Locatelli to be used in his more natural advanced role as opposed to the deep lying role he has been...

Allegri: we don’t know how to play ugly. Your team has produced nothing but ugly, unspiring,lethargic football this entire season.

They watched and have decided to continue further investigations into the 72million plusvalenza deal of Arthur on that viewing.

If you condensed all three of them into one player, you could produce something highly serviceable. Individually however, they are deeply flawed.

An absolute travesty that it was called a foul, let alone a yellow card. They are really trying to eradicate all forms of a sliding tackle from the game.

Just needs to pick up a few more injuries, so that he becomes injury prone enough for ‘Juventus level.’

I think that’s incorrect. Bonucci played that game and did an immense job that day against Lukaku, bar the one moment late on when he got too tight and Lukaku rolled him and shanked the shot. Bar having Rugani as 4th CB, it is the least of our problems, sure we’ve conceded too many this season...

The return of Rabiot to the starting line up. The return of Trequartistu to the Allianz. What’s not to be excited about?

Strange how I got excited with Locatelli playing an accurate vertical pass in behind the back line in this game and his one to Morata against Chelsea that was cleared off the line. We’ve become that deprived of any vertical direct play from anyone other than the odd long diagonal we get from...

Lord Brendski is here to save us.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we can’t win today and continue playing turgid football. Tough times don’t last, players on absurdly high contracts sadly do.

Can’t be the only Juventus fan who enjoyed watching his face smashed in the with the ball. He’s not the worst of our bad bunch, but he’s far more frustrating considering he actually has talent and a physical prowess unlike the other midfielders at the club.

As painful and humiliating as that was to watch, it could be another psychological blow to our team sending us on another shit domestic run considering how mentally fragile this group of players are.

If there is any real interest in this guy we should cut our losses and sell before those clubs see how average he actually is and we’ll be forever stuck sending him out loans.

I’m not convinced we played for a draw. We didn’t go gung-ho and were just penned in against a side who could keep the ball far better than us for long periods imo.

Rabiot plays there because (rightly or wrongly) we really struggle to play out under pressure. Dybala and Morata are useless on long direct balls so we need to have at least one out ball which is to Rabiot on the left against a smaller full back or wide midfielder, which to his credit he...

The people that are upset at the performance have not come to terms with the lack of ability in a majority of our players. Personally I was pleased with the desire and intensity in closing down pretty much all game. We had a clear shape and worked like dogs showing a level of humility and I’d...

The social media keeps posting triumphs from previous years but it’s impossible to wipe the memory of that dismal showing last season.

Pleasantly surprised at the bravery shown to leave our front 3 up for the break when Zenit started chasing the game at 2-1 down. It was a clear tactic that paid off, even if we looked shaky defending with 7 men (understandably as Zenit pushed their full backs up and the middle 3 couldn’t handle...
