[CL] JUVENTUS 1-1 Lyon [2nd November, 2016] (2 Viewers)

Terrible game. Absolutely disgusted with performance tonight. Failing to get a win here might be better for us in the long run, since instead of masking another bad game with scrappy win Allegri could shake things up a bit. Will never understand his persistance with Evra over Alex Sandro. A bit silly to bench one of the best left sided players in Europe for 34 yo, way past it. Same for Alves and Cuad. Should play 3-5-2 with both AS and Cuadrado on the flanks in every important encounter. The only two players we have atm who offer some spark upfront and can beat their markers, which is useful when we get pinned back. Midfield play was unbearable to watch, yet again.

Marchisio is trying to play like he is 100% Marchisio, but unfortunately he is only 75% Marchisio at the moment, you can see that step he has isn't there, but he's blameless because of that.

I don't mind him doing what he is doing, he is trying his best to get there but the difference from last year is that we had Pogba with him and it's obvious how much better he is than that wreck of a mentality that we paid so much for. I remember all the time he was at Roma how much this forum laughed at him when he broke, we have him on our payroll nowadays.

 

[Ronn]

duh, of course. He's at LW to defend man.

ideal formation:

Mandzukic
Evra Marchisio Sturaro Khedira Licht
Chiellini Barzagli Bonucci Benatia

And make sure to play like a bunch of 50 year olds

We haven't played a single good game against good opposition this year. No doom and gloom, just putting this out here:

-Lost to Inter
-Lost to Milan
-0-0 to Sevilla
-1-1 to Lyon
-Should've lost to Lyon last time, barely scraped a 1-0 with 10 men down and god-like Buffon
-Scraped Napoli 2-1 due to a double mistake from Ghoulam

It's time for big changes. If I don't see Sandro and Cuadrado starting the next CL game I should just turn off the TV 'cause I know exactly what's gonna happen. This is all salvageable though, we just need a fukkin kick like we had last year and some real intensity from our players. Half of these lads are asleep and can't even make a simple PASS!

Ungrateful spoiled fan.

I think we need to persist with the 4 3 1 2

Obviously, we controlled the game from start to end.

 

[Hængebøffer]

Again with the Pjanic better than Pogba? Seriously?

Let's see how we will fix the problems this time around.

Where did I call Pjanic better. He's clearly the biggest problem to the midfield.
And the bolded part is something I think he'll fix. I didn't last year, though.

Barca in only top club in 1st. Might be blessing in disguise

Atletico

 

[Linebreak]

We can't even make a few quick passes to put a team out of position and under a bit of pressure, no matter how weak the team is.

It's freaking laughable.

To think I was actually looking forward to this game all day. I though a home game to seal qualification and give us a chance to show our potential against mediocre opposition would have been a great night in.

What an idiot I am

 

[PhRoZeN]

This was a positive draw. We could have killed lyons dream, so we gave them hope. Positive

If it wasn't for lacazette, it could have been a healthy lose.

 

[Linebreak]

I love how they've won a few games 4-0, 5-0 since Chiellinis comments.

Atletico that is.

 

[Ocelot]

Barzagli is getting off way too easy in most games. He has been a liability all games so far (compared to the rest of the defense).

Nah, he's not as impeccable as he was the past five years, but this match alone he had two or three absolutely crucial moments - and wasn't any more at fault for the goal than any other defender.

Even at the very end, when he had one of his worst ever blunders in a Juve shirt (which is extremely impressive in itself) he managed to catch up with Lacazette and block the shot.

Atletico

Fortunately they're in their bad year in their every other season syndrome.

Looking forward to Juve games in 2016


I made the same mistake until recently. Waste of an evening watching us. Even when we sucked ass in 7th place we at least had an entertainment factor. For the first time pretty much ever i'm fake fanning our games until we are watchable again. Football is just a consistent pain in the ass it's like a bad TV show now.

Yeah, and we need as much health as possible. And energy

with this sort of performance, don't think we will qualify no matter who we draw

do you realize that Cuadrado and Sandro do look that good, because they come into the game totally fresh and play against players that are already tired ? a fresh opponent team will not leave those gaps early on in the game when everybody of them is still fit to run, so it is a sensible choice to bring on players that will take on opponents by the means of speed and pace a little later to give them a bigger advantage. no point putting on cuadrado from the first minute, just to let the opponent double mark him and drain his stamina without effect, but of course perhaps you know more than me and allegri and perhaps cuadrado is actually a stamina wonder and can do those runs in the 90th minute without slowing down. you should tell allegri, so he realizes this or perhaps stop playing FIFA with players edited to 99 stamina and begin to grasp certain limits of real players.

Im talking based of what I saw from this team this whole season. We've looked better when they both were playing and thats a fact. At least they are capable to go past a player and make a cross or two. What are Khedira, Sturaro, Pjanic, Lemina, Hernanes, Lich, Evra, Alves doing in attack? A big fat nothing.

don't you think their injuries will get worse if we play them while they are injured ?

I wasnt talking of playing them right now ffs.

 

[Ronn]

It doesn't really matter who's on the top of the other groups. We probably lose to any of them if we play like this
