And can we blame him? Frabotta was useless vs Crotone.

No. Frabotta is just getting started on his professional journey and has very little experience on this level so I totally get the decisions.

Why are we wasting bench spot on pinsoglio?

Only person who could take that spot was Portanova and i'm guessing he's out as well.

Demiral as RCB makes more sense, but Pirlo knows best.

useless is a strong word, his passing and positioning was fine. every dangerous crotone attack started behind chiesa. plus cuadrado was terrible vs roma. i thought that the chiesa rwb, cuadrado lwb experiments wouldn't continue in the cl, but it is what it is. let's hope both learned from their mistakes. chiesa's movement when defending was straight out horrific, positioning wise he shouldn't have a similar game ever again.

I'm not sure what Pirlo is supposed to do. We don't have any fullbacks. Cuadrado is shit with the ball on the left but he still knows how to drop into a 4 man backline. That's really the only reason he's there.

I hope Dybala gets at least 30 minutes.

why no frabotta then? he lost some duels vs crotone, otherwise he did his homework.

Cuadrado on the left! Again!

 

[HelterSkelter]

Good to see Ramsey back. I think Pirlo trusts him more than we'd like to think.

I mean he is on the list, might aswell have him there for emergency over a 2nd goalie who has zero chance to play.


2 goalies on bench in league when whole roster can be there is one thing. But not when CL is limited to 7.

 

[PedroFlu]

Oh-oh... I hope it works out, but this lineup looks like a mess again. Cuadrado was disastrous on the left vs Roma.

 

[Osman]

useless is a strong word.

I am rooting for the kid, and I hate Cuadrado on left side. But useless is apt for Frabotta. He did not belong on the pitch whatsoever vs Crotone. Nearly every moment screamed over his head.

It's not crazy that Pirlo would trust Cuadrado more defensively in a UCL match. Although, I don't really hate Frabotta either.

It's probably safer to play Cuadrado? I don't know.

 

[JuvePerSempre10]

Very logical formation. Complain about Cuadrado what you want, but i'd rather play him out of position than playing Frabotta in the CL against a team that mainly plays through the wings.

B/R Live with no coverage this year, where you guys in the US watching this?

Champions League

Expecting a disappointing 1-1.

its on channel TUDN for me

 

[edgardavids2608]

Expecting a 4-0 drubbing with Dybala having 2 off the bench.
But realistically 2-1 win

 

[PhRoZeN]

This Kiev team is young and exciting, Tsygankov is gonna give anyone a hard time be it Frabotta or Cuadrado. I think our biggest problem is having adjusting to our new style of play and formation. Anyway be it whatever, Forza Juve, lets do this!

 

[Orgut]

My prediction is a tough draw as we are not a team yet.
I just hope performances will improve from one game to another.

Also should I be right about the draw - We might have a problem as our next 2 games are Barcelona at home and then another away game - I cant see us winning against Barcelona right now and These Hungarians I heard they are very surprising. so we might risk being low on points after 3 games..
