  1. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    But it was a great turnaround. The team just look scared in the first half. In the second half they won the match with autority.

  2. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    It probably wasn't a coincidence of how better the team played after Pirlo left.

    MORATA What a beast. MoM

  4. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    Oxlade isn't a CM if I'm not mistaken, he's a wide player. Looks like a 433 Anyway, as some mentioned here. It will be key if Morata can dislocate to LW and maybe Vidal to RW when we have the ball, so the pitch can open up and midfielders/central backs have more options to pass. If Vidal...

  5. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    It's just the way I do. Realistic. We always struggled when we played Euro style teams like Dortmund. This time I believe chances are higher because guys are more experienced, Pogba has developed, and we have Morata upfront, and not Llorente or Matri. His movement off the ball and quickness...

  6. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    Chiellini, Bonucci and Pirlo behaviour when under pressure will be absolutely vital. If they man mark Pirlo he's out of the game, and there will be a gap that will have to be filled in by Marchisio or Pogba. Chiellini and Bonucci when pressed will have to go with long balls... can't risk...

  7. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    The thing is: we'll have one more guy in the midfield than them. So this will probably result in Juve having the ball most of the time, and that's what they want. But when we have the ball, I really doubt Allegri will allow the team to really push forward. And with this formation, it's the...

  8. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    Our matches since January: 1-1 Inter (H) 1-3 Napoli (A) 6-1 Verona (H) - Coppa 2-0 Chievo (H) 1-0 Parma (A) - Coppa 0-0 Udinese (A) 3-1 Milan (H) 2-2 Cesena (A) 2-1 Atalanta (H) After the Verona beating, we played 6 matches. 5 poor matches, 1 good, against Milan. The big problem is that...

  9. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    Well remembered. That game away against Atletico was perhaps the best I've seen from Juve since going back to CL. It's different from the Chelsea game because I thought Chelsea did look very fragile that time. Allegri managed to level with Atletico in a beautiful way. The players played with...

  10. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    Perfect. And Tevez plays better when he has freedom to roam, like he had in the beginning of the season. I'm cautiously optimistc about Vidal. I'm sure he won't keep the shitty form forever. I don't know if he'll be back to old Vidal though. But IMO his mobility and pass accuracy is slowly...

  11. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    But anyway, Allegri hasn't developed other ways to play. We will play like we always do. Press high up, high defensive line, have the ball, build the game. If this is confirmed, with Evra-Chiellini-Bonucci and Pirlo heading the defense, and a crowded midfield with Pereyra playing as poorly as...

  12. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    So the ideal formation would be: -----------------------Buffon------------------------- Litch-------Bonucci-----------------Chiellini--------Padoin ---------------------Marchisio------------------------- -----------Vidal-----------------------Pogba-------------...

  13. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    Even though I don't think Pereyra is suited to be a winger, regarding our realistic options and the fact that today Coman is not prepared, yes I'd like to see that. Open it up with Morata and Pereyra. These guys will trace back and offer back protection and high pressing without the ball. Use...

  14. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    Agreed. And I think Evra vs Reus on the left could really become a nightmare. Pogba will spend a lot of energy helping him in there. I'd go with Padoin who is quicker and defends better at this point. And his crossing is not bad at all.

  15. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    This is also due to a lack of real threats at the full backs. But you know, with this very squad Allegri could and should have given a go to test a 4312 with Marchisio - Vidal - Pogba / Tevez / Coman - Morata. Tevez has the required characteristics for a trequartista if he's willing to let the...

  16. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    The problem with Caceres is the possibility of blunders. He's definitely in better shape, but I don't trust him in huge games like this. But Evra will have to stay put at the left. If he goes up and down, his lack of speed and stamina will generate a huge liability at the left.

  17. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    Absolutely this. The lack of width - which goes on for 4 years now - really hurts this team chances in Europe. But a catenaccio would be suicide also. Gotta press high up and try to score from a stolen ball - counter. With Morata this can actually happen. Give them the ball and press them...

  18. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    Vidal is struggling. But Pereyra has been absent and just doesn't seem to try hard enough. - - - Updated - - - Yes. I'd also play Padoin. Evra will be toyed with BVB's pace.

  19. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    I'd rather see Marchisio as a DM. But it would be very stupid to claim for Pereyra as a starter. The guy just doesn't seem to give a shit anymore.

  20. [CL] JUVENTUS 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (February 24th, 2015)

    We've playing consistently bad in the last 5 or 6 games. We don't stand a chance if Pirlo and LLorente play... honestly.
