I think we're gonna regret not buying Verratti. Perfect replacement for Pirlo.

We have Pogba we dont need another midget in our team

When we play the second game?

October 2. home against Shahktar.

 

[kronos]

The ball has changed direction because of defender action = own goal

That's not the definition of an own goal, you know that right?

 

[The Curr]

That's the definition of a deflection.

Positive result, and we could have nicked it at the end. Going down 2-0 in England, against English opposition, I would've been tempted to call it a night (my sister texted me and was like fuck this, we are going to lose 5-0. Fuck Chelsea! They don't deserve to be 2-0 up). Had this been the Juve of seasons past, I'd have probably though this game is as good as over, but something about this team, the belief, the desire, the willingness to keep fighting, made me believe a comeback was possible (think Napoli, Milan, and Roma last season; Napoli and Genoa earlier this season). Fair enough, only a few minutes after Chelsea had gone 2-0 up, Vidal pulled one back (this guy typifies the Juventus spirit; a true warrior). Quag came on and prove to be lively and productive; scoring a goal, and almost grabbing a 2'nd at the death with that shot that rebounded off the crossbar.

Bonucci (yes he was at fault for the first goal as the leg he stuck out allowed the ball to take a massive deflection and completely deceive Buffon), Pirlo, and Giovinco were largely disappointing. Chiellini, Lichsteiner, Vidal, Marchisio, and Quags were the standouts for me. Our 1'st half perfromance was actually better than our 2'nd half one (at no point did we deserve to be 2-0 down). Fatigue began to creep in, and both times sprayed a lot of misplaced passes in the 2'nd half. A very good result considering we were 2-0 down at the home of the current European Champions.

We obviously made a statement and managed to prove a point (which earned us a point) last night. We need to continue along this path, and 9 games in the forthcoming 3 fixtures is not merely a possibility, but a necessity. We shouldn't settle for less.

I know Shakhtar represent a tricky proposition, but can any Russians/Ukranians give us a rundown of their team?

They finally have found position for him. Anyway English media are saying that Bonucci made deliberate foul on Oscar and that he should receive a ban.

What do u guys think of the "penalty" situation with Hazard?

 

[ZoSo]

50/50 benefit of the doubt

50-50 call. Hazard definitely went looking for it, instead of trying to stay on his feet. I think the ref had a clear view of the situation, and made the right call.

 

[frzl]

great picture
looks like lichtsteiner can´t take the smell coming from pirlo's awesome beard ^^
marchisio completely stoned as always

What do u guys think of the "penalty" situation with Hazard?

It was penalty as Barzagli tackled him from behind. Something like our penalty against Genoa. But the end result was fair.
In CL referees won't give penalties easily. If anybody have seen incident in Dinamo-Porto. It was clear penalty but referee didn't award it.

OK you disagree but in your opinion was it penalty on Asamoah?
Barzagli was first using his hands and than he tackled his foot. If it was the other way around everyone here would be asking for it. This includes me.

Anyone got a video of juve-fans outchanting the drunken englishmen?

I simply love the: "ooooooooohhoooooohoooooooh aaaaahaaaahaaaaaah" (lol) But you get what i mean? Its simple and effective!

Would 4 points against Chelsea, 4 points against Sjakthar and 6 points against Nordsjaelland make us sure of a place in the knock-out rounds?

More like sure of the 1st place.

Are you kidding? We would top the group.

 

[Gian]

Cool, cool, cool. Didn't want to do the maths, but I would say that is achievable.
