I wanted the Suarez vs Chiellini so bad, I had a feeling Chiellini was going to provoke him.

This is a really big blow to our team. Shit

 

[JCK]

So if it's all about grinta then he should pump his teammates up to bring him the trophy.

Well yes, Barzagli is phenomenal. But my point is that MSN now have to worry much less about "being in for for a world of hurt", when they go on the attack.

I think that's Chiellini's biggest contribution. He's a hardman, the kind of defender that makes strikers shit their pants out of fear of what happen to their ankles, knees etc.

Barzagli is the better defender overall, but Chiellini is the type of guy who would bodycheck Neymar early on and make him timid for the rest of the match.

I do agree with that. But I think it can work both for and against us. It could scare Neymar (not Messi though, that guy is built like a tank), but it could also cause us to concede soft penalties. All in all I'm not sure whether or not this is a bad thing. Sucks for him though, he deserved to play.

Yeah he really deserved it. So sad for the man

 

[Cheesio]

Fuck our luck seriously in Europe !!

 

[Ocelot]

I agree with that. But is the guy even matchfit???

edit: Sorry I read Barzagli for some reason, lol.

Barzagli is always beastmode

Chiellini is much more inconsistent, and on a bad day he's a huge liability tbh, could've easily seen him causing a penalty or getting sent off. However, if he plays his absolute A-game, he can be even more influential than Barzagli imo, who usually does his job in an impeccable, quiet manner.

Nesta Injury Materazzi comes in

1 just have 1 wish... please no ogbonna.

 

[Hydde]

Against this kind of players, chiellini is a gamble too.
They can outsmasrt him with trickery and cheapness, making the referee show the cards or a penalty.


Maybe it was meant to be.

What is really sad is that he will miss the most important game in his juve career

 

[Badass J Elkann]

your level of face palming would increase by a million fold if ogbonna even steps onto that field on saturday

 

[Seven]

You fuckers should stop the Ogbonna hate. He's a Juventus player. I'm sure he has at least some quality.

 

[Ocelot]

What are you talking about? @Ocelot

I honestly don't really get why you would put that as your avatar though

 

[Jem83]

"I bought Ogbonna for this moment alone. I have seen it with my eye. He will play the game of his life against Barca, and after we've won the CL I will sell."

Who's that guy?

 

[Ocelot]

You fuckers should stop the Ogbonna hate. He's a Juventus player. I'm sure he has at least some quality.

The hate in here is certainly out of proportion, he can be a somewhat okay squad player (although his fee was waaayyy too much), but he's simply not up to facing Messi, Suarez, and Neymar.

Of course not. But perhaps he rises to the occasion. If Barzagli is fit, we go with him. If he's not we play Ogbonna and hope for the best. We are Juventus, we cannot afford to be scared when we lose one player.

 

[TheLaz]

Chiellini is nervous in big games. This years CL fare proved this against Dortmund (Reus goal) and Monaco (handball).
Barzagli is better keeping his calm. Bonucci and Barzagli will be just fine. Of course Chiellini is a big miss, but it's not like Tevez is gone..

But you know who will?
