[CL] Lyon 1-0 JUVENTUS [February 26th, 2020] (13 Viewers)

This match is so easy to predict. We will out-possess them 75-25%. Out pass them 600-150 (mostly side and backwards passes). Will get 2 shots on target, probably both easily saved by their GK. Lyon will score on a counter around 75th minute after a giveaway by Matuidi and straight up fuckery by Bonucci. Season over.

Lyon vs PSG today, a competitive match. Interested to see if Lyon players would be lacking sharpness like many are predicting.

Watching them against Paris. Lyon look solid, aggressive, and fluid. The second half will show their fitness level, but so far they play almost like there was no lockdown.

No way we are beating this Lyon.

Come on guys. They can barely string 3 passes together, there's really nothing fluid about this side. They have 8 butchers and 2 players who can produce something in Aouar (who's having a terrible game) and Depay. Press the back 4 and they will kick the ball out or a long pass towards Dembele. It's a side that plays on nothing else than pure physicality and aggression. Baffling how we found ourselves in this position against a team like this. If only we weren't mediocre ourselves...

Their passing has been quite poor indeed, but they compensate it with their physicality and aggression, which allow them to have agility and fluidity, even if it's a bit clumsy. Not sure they will be able to maintain it for the entire game though.

They´re doing a hell of a job on Neymar. If he can´t break them down, and don´t see any player in our team who can. Biggest hope is crosses into Cr7 but we all know this team are incapable of that.

I dont expect them not to be fit, they will easily outrun our players.

I can't wait to see how our master tactician, Il Mister Tobacco Breath negotiates this hurdle. Or, if he inevitably fails, what pathetic excuses he will have?!

Yup. At the same time, they showed zero creativity (even worse than Conte's Inter level of creativity), so unless there are some individual mistakes from high back line of Juventus, Lyon are unlikely to have more than a few chances to score.

To be fair, it's not only about those possible legendary Leo's back leg tackles - fullbacks will also have to play their best defensive game of the season, because they will be under significant pressure as well.

 

[GarfielD]

If they dont score, I think we can make it. They play aggressive, there could be a PK or a red card here and there.

Man, the pessimism is in full force on the forum!
Chin up guys.
Whom am I fooling?

How was second half?

Rightfully so. We limped to a title, not because of our coach but in spite of him. The toilet bowl tactics we've been deploying over the past couple of months might have worked in Serie A, largely due to individual brilliance and failure of others, but they're unlikely to work in Europe. One error and you're out. We're already nursing a deficit, so the margins become much finer, much thinner. If we had Allegri, I'd be confident he'd figure something out, but with Il Mister Tobacco Breath, I have ZERO confidence.

We should avoid letting the game be decided by fitness

 

[Snobist]

Imagine, they waited 5 months for this game. During all these time, they managed to train, run, be on top of their fitness level, and they had the chance to analyze and overanalyze our games. Unless sarri was fucking with their heads by playing terrible football.
