    [CL] Ajax 1-1 JUVENTUS [April 10th, 2019]

    Sat deep way too early in this game. We were camped on the edge of our area for a very long stretch around the 60 minute mark. Almost reminiscent of Atletico but got away with the fact their forwards aren’t clinical and the lack of any aerial threat.

    [Serie A] JUVENTUS 2-1 AC Milan [April 6th, 2019]

    Anyone else notice before pjanic nicks in to win the ball and set up the winner, Alex Sandro goes over and the ref raises the whistle as if to either blow for a free kick or for a dive from AS? Wonder if the whining replay shows picked up on it either.

    Cristiano Ronaldo

    Think the semi gives us the second leg at home to should we make it there. Positive omen.

    Leonardo Spinazzola

    I haven’t seen cancelo be adept at crossing with his left foot. Every time he cuts in it goes backwards.

    Mario Mandžukić

    Barzagli is a 5th choice CB, not on ridiculous wages and very likely a key cog in the dressing room. Madness to include him on a list.

    Moise Kean

    Seemed inevitable.

    Sami Khedira

    I get your point and I can’t imagine the number of fouls and cards he’d accumulate if the handbrake was taken off.

    Moise Kean

    Any other black footballers, you feel a need to compare him to?

    J Stadium/Allianz

    It’s clearly not senseless to them, otherwise they wouldn’t have stuck it out this long. I’m sure this will drag on until the end of the season at minimum.

    Leonardo Spinazzola

    Still waiting for that Juventus goal, I’m sure in his mind he counts that goal whilst playing for Atalanta.

    Federico Bernardeschi

    Need to keep him undercover and unleash him in the CL, so that he looks dangerous and forces attention and fouls in those games, whilst some opposition may not be aware he lacks the final product!

    Moise Kean

    The money.

    Paulo Dybala

    Don’t think you can compare stats with a player at a club that plays attacking football vs a Juventus player. We make most of those players decline in terms of goals and assists due to our pragmatic approach. The last part about salah fitting in Max’s 4-3-3 better is a fair analysis though.

    [Serie A] Genoa 2-0 JUVENTUS [March 17th, 2019]

    Rugani and Bonucci are two of the worst one v one centre backs I’ve ever seen. Having them both on the field in an open game must be an absolute no-no. I’m really starting to lose belief that rugani will ever come good.

    [CL] JUVENTUS 3-0 Atlético de Madrid [March 12th, 2019]

    Cried like a bitch. Fellow juventini, soak it up. A 90 minute performance like this ain’t normal.

    [Serie A] Napoli 1-2 JUVENTUS [March 3rd, 2018]

    Yes Rocchi deserves the flack for an idiotic decision to give a penalty and ignore Koulibaly’s challenge. Greater responsibility should lie with the tool in the VAR box who actually asks him to review and watch a ridiculous freeze frame. Fabian Ruiz who actually struck the ball didn’t even...

    Cristiano Ronaldo

    I think the guy is just generally obsessed with training.

    Cristiano Ronaldo

    Not sure if you’re serious about Higuain not putting effort in. He chased opposition and closed down far more than Ronaldo will. The difference is likely to be shown in efficiency, making the right runs and not having as many sloppy touches leading to turnovers or slowed down attacks.

    Summer Mercato Thread 2018

    Feels great to have all business done early and not be forced into late panic buys we’ve had occasionally in the past.

    Leonardo Bonucci

    Please make a poll for how many deflected goals he is going to make us concede this season.
