[CL] JUVENTUS 2-2 Bayern [23rd February, 2016] (7 Viewers)

Think Alex Sandro was our biggest loss last night. Hopefully in Munich he will be raring to go and tear up that left side.

He may never get on Ribery's level. He definitely has talent as we clearly saw last night but his final decision making is not as good as it should be.

That wouldn't be a shame. Ribéry is a close contender for me to be Bayern's best player ever. He definatly would be if he wasn't injured all the time. His playmaking ability, his elegance and unpredictability is simply unmatched....Sorry, I'm digressing....Just been so long without him..

I actually think Coman has a lot more upside potential than Costa. The Brazilean is extremely fast and skillful but his final ball is weak and he's no youngster any more. Coman OTOH, has the speed and skills and his final ball is not the best, but has lots of time to develop. I think we got ourselves a proper Ribery successor in Kingsley and would like to pair him with Leroy Sané from Schalke in the medium term.

I think Douglas would be better suited on the right side anyways, where he can also cut in. On the left side all he can do is basically sprint past the defender. His right foot is good enough to bring in crosses but not good enough to be a threat when cutting in from the left.
But you know there's Robben, and Costa is no match for him (yet).

No it shouldn't have been, just like we shouldn't ahve gotten that penalty in the CL final.

Can you explain why not, esp about the final.

 

[Cheesio]

Nah, he was very quick and tried alot, has powerful crosses, but I wouldnt say he acheived much at all out there, in fact pretty much nothing in overall. Robben was better not for only waking up later (classic case of becoming unplayable after scoring) but because he could cut in and play passes to others intelligently. Licht suffered with Costa's speed, but after certain amount of tries he was able to read Costa's signature move and overall predictability. And Costa became a hindrance instead of help for Bayern.

He's a lefty playing as a left winger, he can cut in. Lefties often don't have a right foot, imagine Dybaala, Robben.. trying to cut in using their right foot lol. Robben plays in the opposite which allows him to cut in and find more space in the middle, shoot from time to time and have the RB double up with him, a luxury costa didn't have yesterday.

 

[Osman]

Thats obvious, but it doesnt excuse poor decision making/end product. If you cant cut in you take players out of position with your action and then pass inwards/sideways to keep things moving. Robben didnt cut in every time, he chose well when to pass back to midfield/defenders alot. For Costa it was allways trying to run and cross, and it usually lead to little. It didnt help he was bit alone on his wing, but still fairly average from him.

 

[Red]

I thought Costa was alright.

He delivered enough good crosses that I would be questioning why Lewandowski and Mueller weren't threatening to score from them.

 

[Post Ironic]

Nah, the first goal is actually a very good example, because it's pretty much the same situation as Bonucci vs. Roma last season.

I think both should've been a goal for sure, and both were.

And my point goes right over your head...

 

[Osman]

Muller was thankfully very dissapointing too besides the goal. His passing was very erratic and he seemed to not know were to be, in a well oiled machined dominating performance like first hour, he was bit off. But he is all about end product. And aslong as he is supposed to be where he was to score, he did his job, kinda. I saw the game vs Darmstadt, similar story, he was nowhere to be seen for duration of the game until he popped up and scored two clutch goals like it was nothing.

Lewandowski, who is the striker and not the midfielder unlike Muller, is in comparison involved quite alot and well in the build ups. Strong and complete striker.

 

[duranfj]

I just realize how Hernanes was jugging in robben goal. He was just 10 minutes in the field :Sergio:

I still were surprise by his performance but with marchisio in his placer It could be different

I was extremely fed up with Müller yesterday. Too many technical errors leading to missed opportunities.
Talking about Lewandowski though, the pass to Müller was bad. Should've definatly been 1-0 if he didn't pass it into Müller's back.

 

[Osman]

The pass was bit heavy, but it was still Mullers fuck up, he completely misculated how the ball would end up infront of him. That was the best attack in the game, such a huge miss.

Yep. You can't imagine how furious I was. Similar to that Lewy miss against Barca last season in the Camp Nou.
I thought that was THE chance and would be the only one tbh.

Well, it would have been a very very weak penalty.

If you want the ref to be strict there, you also have to be strict with Vidal and send him off with a second yellow in the first half. It was great that he didn't do either.

Vidal did absolutely nothing worthy of a second yellow. He certainly deserved his first, but none of the 3-4 fouls he committed after that were yellow card worthy. Ridiculous.

And that was not a weak penalty. At worst that's a 50/50 call, Alves rugby tackling Pogba. Not in the slightest similar to Lewandowski yesterday. The fact you compare the two is hilarious. If Bonucci tackles Lewandowski as badly as Alves did Pogba, or if he had tackled Suarez in CL final like that, 100% they get penalties called in their favour. That rugby tackle only wasn't called because it was a CL final and Pogba doesn't get the benefit of calls these big team strikers get.

And you simply know he'd be the first one to come here and defend that decision

 

[duranfj]

Alves tackle was penalty from here to the moon but if we wanna be top club again we have to deal with that kind of shit for a while

 

[Zacheryah]

It's always bizarre and extremely offbeat when a Juve fan talks about how much he hates Italian football.

Yeah, i dont get that either

Not sure if mentioned already but the last six fixtures in which we drew the first leg of a knock out CL game at home we overturned the result and qualified each time. Can anyone confirm this statistics and break it down for us?

confirmed

I think we missed Alex Sandro yesterday.He's one of our important elements in our counter-attacking game.
Evra was just too slow and ineffective going forward to cause any threat down the flank.

But we got him back for the return right ?
