[CL] Barcelona 0-3 Juventus [December 8th, 2020] (9 Viewers)
- Thread starter Hust
- Start date
Finishing first is def important in CL group (something the 100m Pjanices don't get, so I'm befuddled as to what they're complaining about esp after arguing before juve-barca that that result didn't matter, bizzare minds).
But we're in a worse situation in Serial A, and you can't expect a player to play 10 games in 5 weeks (esp after not playing for a while). He has to rest in either this or Genoa game. For me, either would be fine, but completely understandable if Pirlo rests him in this one given we're 6 behind in league and are struggling even against bottom teams. Obviously can't be rested vs the Atalantas.

Not impossible, but highly improbable. We will concede, and I doubt we're capable of scoring 3 goals, even against a decimated Fagca.
February is still a couple of months away, and by then things might have changed. We won't necessarily get Bayern or Liverpool. We could still get a Dortmund, PSG, Monchengladbach, or a Chelsea.

In a few days Demiral is back. Wait until then... And quality is a much smaller problem in Serie A anyway. Danilo, Bonucci, etc. are more than good enough there. We're only playing bottom teams in the next few weeks. Rest De Ligt there, against Genoa lile you said. Today is just utterly stupid.

About 3 cm in total were between us already doing that... This Barca is possibly even worse than us and the goat is back.

What a fucking donkey retard if he rests our only capable CB in such a crucial tie against a team with Messi and company. Bonucci and Danilo sounds like the absolute worst pairing you could think of to play against a team with actually adept attackers. Let him at least play 45 minutes and adjust the tactics based on the situation.
Demiral will be back in 10 days acc to gds' probabili formazioni page. And that's back to training, not back to starting xi ready.
I think consistently dropping points vs smaller sides and being 6 behind (as opposed to securing qualification at least) doesn't make it a smaller problem.
We play Atalanta after Genoa, not another bottom team.
You're stretching with all your points.

is there any new info on him? the last one i read was after his injury, and it read "he'll be re-evaluated in 10 days". so he'll just be supposed to have an other scan, then we'll see how his condition improved.
i also think that it makes sense to rest whoever we want to, and this should be based on the physical condition of the players, not the results needed. if we really want the 1st place in the group, we obviously have no other chance to try and win it. on the other hand, the league season is still way too long to improve on our situation. but with injured, exhausted players, we'll be fucked anyway. and with chiellini seemingly crippled and demiral not fully fit after his long layoff, we should try to minimize any muscle overload to de ligt or bonucci.

Genoa is 19th, dude... Quite a stretch when there's only one freaking team behind them. And if De Ligt needs a rest asap, he should've had one in the weekend.

Everyone should rest (of course) but not in CL games. Our roster is more than strong enough to rotate in Serie A. Pirlo is piling up the mistakes now and he's rotating too much which is being reflected in the absence of automatic mechanisms.
