[CL] JUVENTUS 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur [February 13th 2018] (22 Viewers)
- Thread starter Hust
- Start date
The 4 attacking players looked good on paper. This was to mask the thin and lightweight 2 man MF. But in fact we didn't attack as much as Tottenham on our own ground. Had Blaise didn't get injured, Allegri would have play 3 man MF. Bentancur is not ready for CL knockouts, Sturaro is not good. The last option is Marchisio. In my opinion, Marchisio should have been played instead of Mandzukic. Then Bentancur could replace Marchisio when he was out of gas.
Bolded part. Spot on.
Allegri needs to sort his shid. This game was very wiNnable but not with that gung ho line up he never uses against minnows like benevento.... But suddenly pulls them out of his arse against a dangerous CL team in a KO phase.
Im all for doing a more attacking minded team, but no without even having trying need before, specially with the maniacal kedira 2 man mid. Madness!!!
This tie is 100% on allegri.
Like i said before, forget burger man, even useless khedira.... MAximiliano allegri is the true culprit of todays debacle.
Ill reserve my final judgement for the away game, but unless he overcomes this and demonstrate he can take this team forward...
Yup. Insanity. We have no excuses.
I think u are spot on. Something in italian football is not clicking as a whole, and this includes the italian coaches like allegri.
Good job. You Saw it coming clearly.
I never thought allegri was going to return to a kedira 2 man midfield tho....im speechless tbh.
The bad part about him is that it seems he is a bad man manager like Giaccherini said, and also lacks CL experience, as we have seen with Napoli.
But i would love to have a world class coach, with sarris offensive approach but savvyy enough to balance defense and offense it when it matters.
Right now we are too italian minded,

Let's be logical here.
As much as I believe khedira is a slow and ineffective player on big stage, it is hard for allegri to drop him after he has scored those goals in the last games.
Higuain is not a choker that you guys claim. He fucking chew their defense.
We have two key problems:
The problem was our players do not have much experience in streamrolling opponents. Hence, when they go 2-0 up so early, they are kind of lost about how to approach the next 80.
Next problem is allegri. His reluctance to rectify problems and make good subs during the game is a killer.
Moving forward, leg 2 is extremely tough because juve is not used to chasing a game, and we will be chasing it for 90minutes. I am worried for dybala as he will be under too much pressure to perform. costa and mandzukic are the only players who are used to this scenario (when they were with Bayern, before they were tainted by allegri italian negative mindset)

Emabarassing! The most disappointing part was the defensive display in first half. They basically have one real striker and everyone in the world knows that and we let him get 3 clear cut chances in 45min. And every time there was 1 or two defenders near him jerking off instead of marking him. If none of our CBs are going to mark their only ST, then let's take out at least 1 and put another attacker. You'd think Allegri is not a complete retard and has learnt his lesson after the fiasco with Ronaldo in final, but I guess not.
It seems not having watched the match is an advantage at least on the self-happiness department for an hour and half, yet I cant believe after leading so early with that advantage, Juventus did not completely go and destroy them. I hate the stand back mentality, this match should have ended 5-0. If mentality does not changes Juventus will never win again a CL.
