There's no way Aston Villa are on a level with Man City.

Even if it's against Barca in a CL Semi Final and it's a 1-1 draw in Barcelona and a 0-0 draw in Turin for Juve to go through on away goals?

Aye, first was a stone waller. Second, Krasic made the most of, but there was contact.

Good game, good result. Strong start to the game and took a deserved lead. After about 25mins, Juve started to give the ball away a lot, so the goal was inevitably going to come. At least Juve showed the resilience to get through to half time having only conceded one. The defence then...

Around three and a half.

I don't think Juve's concern going into this game is their own ability to create chances.

I haven't seen much of Man City this season, but it has always looked like 4-3-3/4-5-1 when I've been watching. However, the shape doesn't really matter; they are all about pace and power. Because of their athleticism, teams are going to have to work incredibly hard to beat them. In theory...

Tevez usually plays as the main striker with two wingers playing off him in a 4-3-3/4-5-1. Tevez will be playing against the Juve CBs and the fullbacks will be playing against Milner and Silva/Johnson, I would think. If Aquilani was available, I would say Juve should play 4-5-1 and match up to...

And after an initial big cash injection and building the squad and fan-base, who is to say Man City won't be run at break even? Why is it wrong for a club to get a cash injection now and step up a level or two, but it was fine for other clubs to get a cash injection eighty years ago and be set...

What an odd thing to say.

Hardly. Folk just bitch whenever another team gets rich. At some point, all rich teams were newly rich.

Juve had, I believe, won one title in about 25 years prior to Agnelli ownership.

Why is it wrong that Man City suddenly have money, but it is okay that Juve were bank-rolled by the Agnellis for many years?

Is anyone other than jolly, old St. Nick going to this one?

Juve need to play this game very cautiously. If Juve go out and attack, it will play into City's hands and Juve may well get destroyed on the counter attack. Juve need to play deep, stay compact and patiently wait for the right times to attack.
