I honestly thought Allegri would be over the moon with the new attacking players he's been handed. But yes, that game was reminiscent of the Capello era. A relatively stacked squad playing rigid as fuck stupid football in Europe. Scared to play our own game in the fear that we're not 'compact'...

Honestly, if we keep willingly benching our best technical players to accommodate more defensive players, and half of our team talk about a 0-0 home draw like we achieved something special, then no. We're in it to grind our way to a Last 8 place if possible. Having said that, if Allegri wakes...

FFS Allegri himself said he played Asamoah over Pjanic for defensive purposes. Enough with this injury BS. Our coach benched our best available midfielder for our once upon a time defensive wing back.

If we ever want to compete with the usual big boys on financial terms, we need to improve our Juventus brand globally. This brand of ultra conservative, scared to lose European football will never turn heads. We need to wake the fuck up and play our own game not make a bunch of cautious changes...

Carlo, the exception to the rule. CL GOAT.

Some traditions are pointless, limiting your coaching talent pool because of mildly xenophobic traditions is just a waste of time. BTW not actually saying we sack Allegri after a 0-0 draw or anything, just saying for ItaliaCalcio's ideas to come to plan it can't be under an italian coach.

Need an opinionated foriegn coach with a CV good enough to back it up to see that sort of modern football.

Top 4 club in World football on paper, we still think we're the same underdogs just happy to be invited to the CL party.

Didn't realise we were running a fucking group therapy session, here I was thinking we were trying to win the CL. Nobody's asking Allegri to slate his players in the media, but players like Evra have no business getting consistent starts when their counterparts are clearly better. If they're...

It's clearly a problem with Italian coaching from the ground up. Safety first. It's the managerial equivalent of hoofing it under slight pressure.

No room for that pussy crap. I don't need fan servicing by saying we're gonna win 5 CLs in a row but this negative bullshit is a dressing room cancer.

Until it's confirmed Pjanic has a physical problem, this is bullshit and you know it. Let's rule out every bad team selection with this method. You'd more often than not get away with it too. Asamoah was fucking useless, Pjanic didn't look like he was about to drop dead after coming on either...

Were the 3 fucking CBs and 40 year old left back not enough? Man Allegri ruined my fucking evening. Italians seem to fail to understand that outscoring the opposition gets you 3 points. Nothing less.

Ah, the coach knows best line of reasoning. That would be great, except, coaches from all sorts of backgrounds all have different approaches to football, from tactics to squad selection. And yes even our coaches can fuck up decisions that we lowly fan peasants are too naive an uneducated to...

:lol: I can see it now, Benfica jumping for joy everybody going nuts, commentators sucking them off. Our players crying and every time we're seen on TV in Europe that will be brought up 10 times per game.

We certainly do have midfield issues. The most frustrating mind bending thing is, the issues are mostly due to team selection. Which is a big worry. Most people would jump at the chance to have our creative attacking talent at their disposal, we however love to play it safe. We romanticise the...

Fuck winning, fuck CL. Clean sheets all the way baby.

Benfica would end their curse against us, making us the new curse team. And i'd retire from football and take up bleach drinking

Yes, the positive is that when you bench all of your attacking players and play a 5-3-2 you can often keep clean sheets against lesser teams. Let's do some coke and celebrate.

Worth noting he had 1 good chance, which he nearly converted. And a couple of half chances at best. Surrounded by defenders, and given mostly pathetic service Yes Higuain has a big choking mentality in finals. No, I don't think it meant anything tonight. Most strikers fail to score when given...
