Please post these stats tomorrow around this time, you'd look hilarious, after your team had lost 3-0.

Why try to mark Pirlo when we have a midfield comprised of 3 not 1. Even if Pirlo is man marked eventually Celtic will have to mark Vidal and Marchisio. Its not like Pirlo is the only one who can pass the ball. Look at how well chelsea's Pirlo marking turned out

 

[ALC]

marking peerlow doesn't work out that well usually. they're better off hoping peerlow has a bad game.

 

[The Curr]

You have to close Juve (Pirlo & Bonucci in particular) down high up the pitch like Inter did when they beat Juve. Fiorentina did the complete opposite on Saturday and their midfielders hardly got a touch of the ball as a result.

All well and good but anything that happened 30 years ago is irrelevant. Since 2000 every game bar one has been played in the group stage. Group stage football is a different animal than knockout stage. So we are left with one relevant result against Milan. Hardly enough to draw any conclusions. If you want stats then we are unbeaten in this year's champions league.

By the way, while you're here Celtic fans, as a Korean I must ask: what's your take on Ki?

On one hand he was clearly one of your most talented players, but on the other hand you guys seemed to play without him.

Was it simply a case of the team not being suited to his style of play (whereas Swansea seems to fit like a glove), or was it more to do with the player himself? Surely there's more to it than "he doesn't get stuck in enough".

 

[tassard]

I have a bad feeling.
I think they will be super-motivated and we will be somehow indifferent because Celtic is on paper the weakest opponent we could meet...

 

[Nzoric]

Yes, and no more of your Irish bashing ya hear me

Pseudo-Englishman

 

[Badass J Elkann]

He does???:facepalm:

Well that sure was a lucky guess on my behalf.

We will probably have Brown try to keep near Pirlo.
Brown will be (as always) booked, not for dirty play, but for consistent niggly fouls.

There is no point man marking Pirlo, he's too good for that.

never mind pirlo, if you want to mark him thats fine, thats why we have plan B, Bonucci in defence bringing the ball out and playing it for marchisio and Vidal who makes the runs which is why MVP are so effective, thanks to the mix of creativity, energy, grit and mobility. so sure mark pirlo if you like, but can you mark marchisio and Vidal at the same time too? whilst stopping Bonucci?

 

[LowLife]

I'm sure Juve won't do same mistake as we did vs Norsjelland!

He stops himself by giving away balls trying long balls toward Giovinco and Vucinic. I hope Matri starts, (OMG I actually said that)

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Bonucci's passing range is impressive, aside from his mistake last season vs milan i don't recall a more recent time of him giving away posession

 

[gray]

To be honest this is one of my points of worry. Bonbon has a habit of giving away the ball sometimes when he does this, and I can see us conceding a sloppy goal through it.

 

[Hust]

CB regista will have it under control.

in the past yes, but i'd say he has definately worked on this side of his game over the last 12 months

Pirlo is a major part of your game. When he's not on things become more difficult for the other two midfielders.
