[CL] JUVENTUS 0-0 Sevilla [14th September, 2016] (18 Viewers)

[Ocelot]

Yep. And as far as I could tell, it was one big chance (the header), and a couple of half-chances which when you looked at the replays were not as big as they seemed.

But yeah. Choker, I guess...

I'm surprised people aren't speaking more of how little we actually created, because to me, that was the main issue tonight. Like @Bianconero_Aus touched upon earlier, we wasted 70 minutes just messing about. And as far as the other 20 goes, we only created two clear-cut chances: Higuain's header and Sandro's header.

We have to create more. That's the problem. We have issues in midfield.

Did you miss the beginning?

We certainly do have midfield issues. The most frustrating mind bending thing is, the issues are mostly due to team selection. Which is a big worry. Most people would jump at the chance to have our creative attacking talent at their disposal, we however love to play it safe. We romanticise the keep a clean sheet at all cost mentality at times we really do.

 

[JCK]

I'm pretty sure everyone realizes that the road to qualification is now much tougher.

Not those who are calling this a silly meltdown.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

They haven't realised yet the importance of those two points we dropped tonight.

The only we can come first now is if we win against Sevilla away from home IMO.

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

Just posted the same thing :.

I can see it now, Benfica jumping for joy everybody going nuts, commentators sucking them off. Our players crying and every time we're seen on TV in Europe that will be brought up 10 times per game.

 

[fredrik]

He might be. He's lost for words like all of us. Except he cannot say "wtf Max?" freely like us here

I dont think so. Juve have been terrified of cl for years. Defensive minds, happy to catch 2 place. I think conte fucked most of the team mentally, and they will never achive it.

 

[DUKAC]

Football is a team sport, and strikers - no matter who they are - need proper service.

He got very little service, but still managed to make a vicious header towards goal that was unlucky to bounce off of the underside of the crossbar. And he made some good runs that ended up seeming like good chances to score, when they in fact weren't. In particular I'm referring to Pjanic's cross that the defender tackled away. That pass reached the defender first and foremost; not Higuain.

And please stop the master supression techniques, there's no reason to pull the "you are smarter than this"-card.



All I said was that Higuain got very little service, which is an undeniable fact. Other than that, I said that the chance from Pjanic's cross wasn't as big a chance as it seemed to be at first glance.

How can possibly Higuain get balls with today's Evra and Alves displays and without Pjanic?
Sandro makes immediate difference.
As much as I adore Evra he was shit tonight.Alves too.Quadrado would do much better job.
Allegri made clear mistakes.

 

[ClaudiOHHH]

Idk what to say

 

[Robee]

Luckily everybody here knows more than Allegri does. If Pjanic doesn't start there's a fucking reason. Maybe he wouldn't have been able to play at such a tempo for an entire game after only playing his first competitive game a few days ago...

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Did you miss the beginning?

That opening ~15 mins wasn't too bad from us at all. We got in behind them several times and Dybala and Higuain were linking up nicely (but outside the box)...but Sami missed two good chances. After that, our heads dropped and we played around 55 mins of garbage, directionless football c

 

[Cerval]

This may sound a stupid suggestion but if Allegri INSISTS on having 3 CBS on the pitch then we need to play Bonnuci in the Lemina role and use an extra attacking player to give us more options.

I'd be willing to see this at one point

 

[campionesidd]

Oh how I wish we had Ancelotti as our coach right now. I would definitely take 1 Scudetto and 2 Cls over 2353356 Scudetti and 0 CLs

 

[JCK]

The only we can come first now is if we win against Sevilla away from home IMO.

We also need 6 points from Zaghreb and we need to win against Lyon at home and get at least a point from France.

 

[Ronn]

Allegri says he played Asamoah because "He gave something more in defending"

 

[Klovn]

Wow this is only one game. Everyone is talking like the whole group is decided now.

It seems you like Allegri hasn't learned from the last coulpe of four freaking years when it comes to CHL group stages

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

I actually see us struggling more against Zagreb than Lyon

 

[DUKAC]

I think we will be fighting for the second spot on last day. Maybe we will sneak it but Lyon knew how to finish a team today. We will find this frustration more and more common in Europe. A lot of teams can learn from the way sampaoli boys played tonight. It's gonna be a long few months...

They played for a draw against a toothless team like us.Nothing tactical special about that bold prick.

The beginning indeed looked promising Two great chances for Khedira to score there.

Grrrrr, what a frustrating night of football.

Ah, the coach knows best line of reasoning.

That would be great, except, coaches from all sorts of backgrounds all have different approaches to football, from tactics to squad selection. And yes even our coaches can fuck up decisions that we lowly fan peasants are too naive an uneducated to debate ourselves.

Not this season they sold their best players.
