[CL] Atletico Madrid 1-0 JUVENTUS (October 1st 2014) (1 Viewer)

The beauty of the 3-5-2 formation in all it's glory was on display tonight. If u want to break down tough defences u need attacking midfielders whether they play wide or centrally and we lack them.

Is there an unwritten rule at Juve that subs must be brought on at the absolute latest. It's almost like we don't want the subs to come on and give us a selection dilemma, instead we plop them onto the pitch in the 89th minute when the balls in our own half and say 'here you go son, go and grab a goal with the only touch you'll get"

 

[Hængebøffer]

And what when we play against teams with better attack than Atletico?

You didn't watch our games against Real last season?

 

[DanielSz]

Unless they're due to injury, substitutions in the 89th minute have to be the dumbest thing in world football.

Yeah I was ready for morata around the 60th minute. Also would it be too crazy to give coman a fucjing chance?? I know it's a big stage but he brings a dimension no one else really does and is the closest thing to a winger this team has.

Poll is up.

No idea who to vote for. None of our players stood out, they were all bad.

Why the poll was opened?Everybody sucks today.MAybe we should open a poll for the worst player.Llorente will be first contender.

You're damn right i'm $#@!ing mad when people think one of our 2 strikers playing a game of fouls with the oppositon CBs is not only not criticised but PRAISED.

Llorente is not the focal point of our attack. He is there to help in build up. The only time we could muster any sort of quick transition is when we punted it to him and he knocked it down for us.

Can you remember Tevez linking with the midfield quickly? It didn't happen. Either he lost the ball or we misplaced the pass to him. The only time Tevez found space was when Llorente knocked it on to him.

There are examples of what Llorente does that no one gives a shit about. Like when we are pinned deep on a throw-in and we blindly throw it to him. He wins a foul at half and from there AM has to back up and we enjoy possession for the next 2 minutes. What is the alternative if you don't have Llorente there? Miranda runs through Giovinco or whoever else you want there and we are fucked.

There are no gaps in their defence. You can't turn their defenders. You can't do anything. Messi has 0 goals in the last 7 matches between Barca and Atletico.

In the poll "MOM" there should be an option : no one

 

[Tevez10]

Another interesting fact is we had 61% of ball possession, but I guess 50 of the ball possession from Juve was between Chiellini and Bonucci.

Pretty sure if you're a striker, you're main responsibility is to take shots or score goals, not occupy the defenders. Llorente has been terrible, not just today, but ever since the start of the season.

 

[DanielSz]

I actually wouldn't mind llorentes game in a 3 striker formation.

Although he really should have done better when he got the ball in the box from Lichtsteiner around the 82nd minute or so.

Because you can pick the best among the worst.

I did, Conte was the coach

 

[alexjuventino]

Just saying if this is how we are going to play against roma, we should just not even show

He's too slow with the ball.

 

[Tevez10]

So is it Serie A very bad, or Atleti is on top 5 teams in Europe! Since Juve didn't manage to have a shot on target. We're the champions of Italy.

Since when are Roma harder to beat than Atletico?

 

[Ocelot]

[Bjerknes]

That's what I'm afraid of too.

It's too predictable, and Atletico would be one of the worst teams to play against in that situation.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

What is there to admire from this atletico team? They are playing their form of catenaccio. It was disgusting watching them, throwing themselves to ground whenever they got the slightest of touches.

We should have done better and I thought we had a good first half, but once the second half began I had a bad feeling. This is probably the worst thing cause now the group is in the balance.

It worked beautifully. 0 shots on goal. That is definitely something to be admired.
