[CL] JUVENTUS - Borussia Mönchengladbach (October 21st, 2015) (19 Viewers)

I'd be surprised if he plays Evra again, but I suppose the fact that we have a very winnable home league game next makes it easier to justify the experience for this one and then Alex Sandro and Dybala for that game.

Actually, we have something of a ridiculous fixture list coming up after Atalanta, so I'm even more convinced that we will see the two expensive buys a lot more soon:

28/10 Sassuolo (A)
31/10 Torino (H)
03/11 Borussia MG (A)
08/11 Empoli (A)
21/11 Milan (H)
25/11 Man City (H)
29/11 Palermo (A)
04/12 Lazio (A)
08/12 Sevilla (A)
13/12 Fiorentina (H)

We're constantly playing big league games before our CL games, even after in the case of one.

Damn what a schedule! It will be interesting to see our strength after the rats game. This is only what shows what a team is made of.

We'll hopefully have the group sewn up after playing Gladbach away. Hopefully that allows us to focus on smashing the league.

I read an interesting statistics yesterday; basically, we score every 17 shots at goal, whilst the teams at the top have all got an average of approximately 1 goal every 7 shots. We are the bottom team of Serie A in this respect and we are also bottom of the goal conceded: 1 goal every 8.5 shots by opposition, even worse then Bologna. I think our season so far is pretty much summed up in these numbers.
As far as tonight is concerned, I will be in the Stadium so no other result but a win.

A lot of our shots were from very non-threatining positions. I mean we definitely should've scored more, and I do believe that our finishing is perhaps the main reason for us being that low in the table, but these statistics severely distort realitiy when taken at face value.

 

[JuveJay]

I'm surprised it is even 1 every 8.5 shots conceded, although that will include hit and hope shots from nowhere. Goals conceded per shots on target would be interesting, it seems to be nearly 1 every 1.5 shots or something.

Imagine Brozovic's shot had crept in under the bar, I'm pretty sure that would have been Inter's only actual shot on target. This is happening again and again and really just comes down to luck.

Easy fixture, I'm serious, specially if Juve wins tonight.

If I was in Dybala shoes I'd leave next season without a doubt. I'm really starting to dislike Allegri.

Talk about an overreaction.

He's been our striker with the most minutes actually

So he played almost all of the previous three games to Inter

Someone free this man from the tyranny of Allegri!!!

Ours looks poor but consider the fact that all but Morata are new to the team, they are still gelling. You might say how does that effect their finishing, well I'd say it more effects the type of chance being made, less clear cut. Couple that with a bit of bad luck and you have our current situation.

The attack is going to take time to settle, for sure. It's completely new, and I include Morata in that because he doesn't have the partnership or guarantee that Tevez brought to lean on. It also doesn't help that he hasn't really been 100% fit for any part of the season so far. Add in Mandzukic's issues and you are losing what should be goal guarantees, on paper at least.

That's exactly my point

That's exactly my point

I was sure that's what you meant too, just added the stats

Mandzu has missed some sitters as well, not quite clicking yet.
