Thats also why I said you can discuss how dangerous/serious they are. Not really any giant chances in those two, still I think its fair to call them attempts, as they both hit the goal.
:tup:

But I was not talking about. I was talking about good chances to score. Like Higgy being 1v1 with the keeper, like Higgy missing a penalty. Like Bernadeschi putting a curler on goal from well inside the box that Lloris made a fantastic save on, like Mandzu with a free header in the 6 yard box he put straight at the keeper, and like Kane's free header that Buffon made a fantastic save on. Those were the very good chances outside the goal.

The funny part is that I've said it was a terrible performance all the same. Fake Juve fan number 1 still trying to make it sound like I'm saying it was a great performance. It wasn't. It was piss poor for the most part. That doesn't change the fact we had the lion's share of the good chances.

They were not dangerous. Think of it this way: how much Gigi would have been criticized had he conceded any of those? he was criticized massively (and rightfully) for not dealing with that FK from the edge of the box.

You definitely have the chance to put 2 or 3 past them in London. Just go out and be aggressive like in the first match, and dont sit back too much. Tottenhams defensive play are laughable at times, it was exposed a lot in Turin.

I think we need 3 CMs, regardless of whether Khedira plays. I pray Matuidi is ready, and Allegri takes Khedira off early if he is in ghost mode. Khedira-Pjanic-Matuidi wouldn't be bad to start, but if Khedira is playing poorly take him off right away for the control and ball-skill of Marchisio.

Pjanic-Khedira worked down the stretch last season, when Khedira was in form and Mandzu was running like a madman, but Mandzu doesn't have that energy this year, and Khedira is in poor form.

No trolling, but the only reason there was a dangerous situation out of them was because of Buffons handling. Especially the Kane one he should be able to grab. Eriksens was harder to deal with.

Buffon had quite a poor match unfortunately. I'm curious to see what will be done with Szczesny going forward this year as he been better than Buffon so far. Sad to see age finally starting to catch up to Gigi.

What a save alisson
He looks fantastic this year. Was really poor in Europa for Roma last year, but has been dominant this year.

It was quite ironical that best goalkeeper in serie a last season and who performed brilliantly in the absence of Buffon is sitting on the bench reminds me of pirlo last season with juve where marchisio performed brilliantly in his absence but still allegri preferred to play pirlo
