I don’t know why, I cannot get the players to understand the importance of moving the ball quickly. This is fundamental, we’ll keep working on it and sooner or later this concept will get into their heads.
Im not a Sarri fan but how any coach in the world could play fast with Pjanic, Rabiot, Bernadeschi, Sandro on the pitch ?

After this 1-0 I'll be panicking at 0-0 if Lyon get a corner or free-kick in a wide area, as should everyone else.
I saw nothing special from Lyon tonight, they're clearly a very average side for CL level, which is what the general consensus was before the game as well, but it makes tonight even more annoying seeing this. We could very well steamroll them in the second leg, but I've seen nothing recently to suggest that. Hopefully they'll be overwhelmed and we go a goal or two up early on, maybe Douglas Costa will be fit for his 1 in 5 game and destroy them, maybe pigs will fly.
But we do this every time we are expected to win, our attitude is shite and we have these same conversations post-game. It's a curse of a continually winning team.

That's because we were shooting off target 
We did have one or two great chances, irrelevant that the shots went wide. Higuain should have scored. Dybala usually gets those shots on target instead of blasting them like that. But all those chances came in the last 10-15 minutes.

But Sarri is a coward, as is most of the team.
This is the one thing that continually bemuses me, knowing Sarri's teams. We revert to type of Juve the past 10 years and play this slow-slow-slow tempo because that is what the players know. But 5 or so months in shouldn't he make hard decisions or be able to get his ideas across? This is surely on him.
Our players and coach talk a lot before games, a lot of hot air, BS, and utter nonsense.
We need to have the right mentality, the right focus, we'll be up for this CL fixture, we won't underestimate Lyon, we need to do this and that.
Game starts? All talk, no walk. Same shit against Lyon. I've seen this movie before - the story repeats itself. Shut the fuck up, go out there and do your job, instead of
It's like a basketball team consistently talking about playing defense or being locked in, or improving on D. It's your fucking job - you don't need to mention it after every game. Just fucking do it!

We played like this in the last 10 minutes, because Lyon were dead physically and started to jade mentally. Now, by hook-or-crook, they know they can keep us at bay - 0 shots on goal would be 0 goals in Lyon, Turin or Mars. They have believe and we must attack at least for the last 2/3rds of next game unless we have a friendly ref.
It will be a disgusting game and there is a reason why the AM performance last year was an exception. The best way I see us win is nicking one goal by 60th minute and putting tactical doubts in the violin player and his team.
