i mentioned this last time i talked about the game. Juve even were slightly better after conceding and up until that sub. after that Bayern completely outplayed us which was almost exclusively thanks to that rotation.
it took an injury of one of their best performing players that season for them to really start dominating. they were good before that too, but not as impressive as with Ribery-Muller-Robben. after that Kroos injury they destroyed everything on their way and the only decent fight they got was Dortmund in the final (but cant expect to destory someone in a CL final really).

No dont be so "sure" because we are not ready for 4-2-3-1, thats why I said we need to have the ability. Now just hoping we dont play Bayern with 3-5-2. Allegri needs to dump this garbage system.. It puts unnecessary pressure on likes of bonucci ..we will need a dedicated stopper, which is what Marchisio is right now in a way for whose of us who actually know how many holes he plugs without even coming close to the ball... but we will be asking too much of him against Bayern..
With the 3-5-2 if one wingback is out of position ONCE, its forces us under pressure (like we already saw against bayern with conte)and players like pogba attacking ability is not as effective...now a player like sturaro next to marchisio in front of boner/barz, chiellini? Airtight...a more free pogba behind mendzukic to get behind defenders freely, and dybala on the wing will open up some serious gaps in opposition..flexibility is a priority..pogba will destroy any team if we FREE HIM UP

I'm really looking forward to the tie against Juve. I agree that Juve are stronger than when we met them in 2013, but so are we IMO. We had disappointing games against Real and Barca the last two years, but I feel that this year we are much stronger. Tactically much more astute and flexible, better players and most importantly a real hunger again. Pep's departure at the end of the season will only add more motivation to the whole team.
