People say luck when we have two penalties lol? Have I missed something?

Funny what happened when we actually ran at them

 

[Badass J Elkann]

As I feared our midfield was completely over run. With a completely different tactical approach and a full strength line up we could beat them next week but neither look likely to happen. In any case, Marchisio needs to play in a three man midfield next week.

Allegri has a complex about phases in games in which his teams both attack and defend, push high and stay deep. It never works against sides that actually have the technique to keep the ball off you. Just give them the chance to control the game and they will. It kills the players confidence to run without the ball for five, ten minutes at a time. But you can still hear it in Bernardeschi's post match:

“After going 2-0 up, we couldn’t possibly maintain that tempo" ... After ten minutes?

it was the CL final all over again.

I really don't get it, these are professional athletes who cannot hold concentration or maintain intensity for more than 10 mins? i can accept phases to take your foot off a little but to burn out after 10 mins? wtf are the coaches doing?

and Licht too.

De Sciglio played well i thought, still a little tentative at times
Needs to overcome that

 

[Ventus]

its $#@!ing Tottenham... Let’s not overrate them too much, yeah?

Have you not seen them this season? Did you watch them against Real? In what planet do you think we could beat them in their own ground when we have the likes of Khedira leading the centre?

 

[enzo]

Is that really a surprise?

We have a rubbish attack with no attacking gameplan other than random flicks, crosses and long balls now and again

I rather think our weak midfield was the problem. Higuain tracked back more than Khedira or Pjanic did.

 

[Alen]

what about matuidi's recovery? is it even remotely possible that he's in the squad for the 2nd leg?

It's gonna be a race. On Friday (4 days ago) Gazzetta had him out for 30 days, which means he should be back in 26 days or so. We might rush him in and hope for the best.

 

[s4tch]

Yeah he'll be back at this stage. Will need match-fitness though.

He probably will be and so will Dybala which is a massive plus

i saw that dybala already trained with the team yesterday, but i had no idea about matuidi. it'll be a completely different game then.

 

[DUKAC]

Ucl matches involves an element of luck which can be deciding factor between two teams

I agree maybe for a penalty or a Kane's save by a Gigi.But you just can't have a lesser possession and defend when is 2-2 at your own turf.

 

[Ventus]

The only advantage I see is that we tend to play better when we have 'all to play for.'

 

[DAiDEViL]

When you sit all 11 that deep and invite them on for 30 minutes then you are playing to their strengths. You can't play against good teams and treat them like they are cagliari.

Yeah.

Sitting deep against way better teams has never worked for us before, or has it?

You'd think they were sprinting through a marathon hearing that? It's all mental weakness which has become part of the character of this team.

It's not possible. Simple as that. Must be tactical instructions from the coach.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

We're getting eliminated. TOGETHER

I don't recall Conte's Juve lacking intensity to this grand scale

Fuck it I'd have started Matuidi in his current state over khedira still

 

[enzo]

Yeah.

Of course it has. But we should have seen it coming after the first half, no?

 

[DUKAC]

No chance at beating Tottenham in London, its over move on.

No,it's not over yet.But we can't compete about the CL final win.No way.Will be lucky if we eliminate this cunts.

Merda. I'm Late to the Discussion because I had no reception during the game.

What the fuck happened? It looked as if we were more surprised by our lead than they were.

Nothing is more true.

 

[GarfielD]

Matuidi must play at the return leg. Otherwise it will be very hard.

It is not impossible to advance, since their defence is not very good. But we will need a perfect game and Matuidi out there.

 

[Vialli_92]

I rather think our weak midfield was the problem. Higuain tracked back more than Khedira or Pjanic did.

We just show no desire to win a match against good teams

Play a defensive game and hope to nick it with a goal or two while not conceding

Football has moved on and passed us by, our tactics are just that of an underdog team who are playing a team they know is much better than them

We are Juve not a bunch of bums yet we make Tottenham look like they were Juve playing at home

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Allegri can't work miracles every time we weaken our squad every summer and then expect to win ucl

That's only a small factor, fact is players like Marchisio and Bentancur are sat on the bench for waste gash players like khedira and even sturaro at times

 

[Showdown25]

Yeah.

sit in your half, at home, against a team with good attackers and gift them possession.

masterclass.
