Against Samp and Pazzini was suspended. But you are probably right, Allegri is as close as it gets to a 21th century trainer
Well, without Huntelaar's injury, Di Matteo wouldn't have brought the 19 year old on either ;)

And it was in the return leg against Barca, where Niang hit the post :sergio:

RDM is Swiss which is closer to German culture than to Italian culture. Mexico is far away that's why I am explaining.

Name it "Serie A trainers" instead of "Italian trainers" if you want. Statement stay the same. We'd rather play Padoin AM than Coman

edit: 18 yo Platte with best Schalke chance
allegri started with an 19 year old el sharwarma vs barca.

pogba also started for us in cl at age of 19 and 20

The more I think about the encounter and the more I hear about what journalists say about it, the more I am convinced that we are going to crash out. Everyone is favouring us it's ridiculous, we will most probably make fools of ourselves.
I even consider them slight favorites. I've seen them play, I've seen Juve play. They play better and their players have more experience in the CL than ours, with certain exceptions.

They are back to the winning ways finally, and looking at their squad, in particular the one that beat Freiburg last week, the starting XI had 7 players who started the CL final against Bayern, while the 8th one who started vs Bayern (Blaszczykowski) was on the bench against Freiburg. They are only missing Grosskreutz, Bender and Lewandowski from that final. Add Sahin, Mkhitaryan, Kagawa and Aubameyang, and I can't see what makes us favorites. In fact, this is a team that can easily beat the usual CL Juve. Reus and Dortmund's form came back in the worst possible time for us.

    Too much people focus on Dortmund being bad in their league. I'm afraid our players won't be so confident and take the match easy as apparently most of our fans do.

    I'm gonna be surprised if we go through. I mean, we do have a chance of course, but I'm gonna be surprised. I don't even think their style suits us, so they have the upper hand.

    Morally they're in shamble's. Specially their defence. If they concede or get under a lot of pressure, they crumble. But on the other hand their high tempo, counter attacking style doesn't suit us at all.
    So I'm not sure what the outcome will be, but based on the kind of sh!t I've seen from us in Europe, I'd say we'll blow it.

    And going back to what Allegri said, it is now even more obvious that Dortmund are most likely beating us nice and easy.

    I wouldn't go that far. We're favorites alright, even if not by alot. Sure, they had a good run two years ago, but that was a fluke and they're not nearly in the form they were in back then. They've allowed Bayern to pluck away some of their best players and haven't managed to replace them adequately (Mkhitaryan being the prime example).

    Sure we've played bad in a couple of league games recently, but that's what top teams do. Play shitty every full moon and still be on top. Seriously, we would be favorites against any Bundesliga team, bar Bayern.

    Of course it won't be easy against Dortmund. It rarely is in the CL playoffs.

    dortmund are so amazing at counter attacks, that they can outscore any opponenet. that's why they are top of bundesliga.

    oh wait.

    and the double standards again. "hurrr durr dont look at their form in the league only look at cl" . then when talking about juve: "hurr durr juve struggling in the league so they will struggle in CL"

    at least be consistent u idiots
