[CL] Manchester United 0-1 JUVENTUS [October 23rd, 2018] (9 Viewers)

[Snobist]

Bernardeschi should be starting instead of Bentancur.

I would love that. We would be much dangerous. But Allegri is going to play a pragmatic game.

I hope Sanchez doesnt start. If he has a good night it will be a nightmare for Cancelo and Bonucci.

Lol wat

Yeah I mean if we’re gonna play for a draw, why not go 352? This formation has all the making of a 0-1 loss.

What makes you think we’ll go for a draw?

 

[pavluska]

This is what I love about our team, with the given lineup, we can’t predict what formation we will play in, nor our players’ positions.

Defensive shape is 442 as has been the case for two years.

Attacking shape is 433.

 

[Arcticdaly]

United have one of worst defences in europe going for a draw here would be incredible stupid and dumb for alegri when they are there for the taking .

 

[DanielSz]

What makes you think we’ll go for a draw?

No Bernardeschi, no Costa, three CMs.

No Bernardeschi, no Costa, three CMs.

4-3-3 is far from a defensive formation.

4-3-3 is far from a defensive formation.

Not when the worst offensive winger is starting, guessing mainly because of his defensive contributions.

 

[piotrr]

1-1

we score and then wait for the rest of the game for Bonucci's special.

Stop giving away Allegris tactics.

 

[JuveJay]

Yeah I think
Why? Do you know this place?

2-0 Dybala and Matuidi. Ronaldo to have a hand in both

Yeah been there a couple of times, I usually stay around the corner.

Some potential pitfalls in this game tonight. It's Man Utd away, so I don't really need to say that, even if they are not the team of yesteryear. Mourinho might be a bit of a football dinosaur these days but they've found a little glimmer of form and don't be surprised if they pull out either an expansive, attacking performance or a tactical clincher, because he can still put something together for a one-off game. And if the crowd gets behind them it's a difficult game, but we obviously have considerably more quality throughout, even with the omissions.

Hopefully that Genoa game was with this one in mind, but I did see some players who looked a little jaded. A point here would probably be good enough as I expect us to win the home game, but we don't play for that kind of thing much these days. We can hold a result with the defensive unit we have but it's risky against a team with power and pace, one long ball or turn and the game changes.

Knowing Allegri, he's prolly also using this as a practice match for CL knockouts.

Shutting down defensively and targeting FBs with crosses was all too common last season.

 

[DanielSz]

Going forward this should be our A side

Szczesny

Benatia Bonucci Chiellini

Cancelo Pjanic Matuidi Sandro

Dybala

Mandzukic Ronaldo

I just don’t trust Bonucci in a four man back line. But in a three man, he shines.

They also have a decent record against bigger teams.

[Bianconero_Aus]

brave Anglos are always classier than filthy Itys

That may be true, but I’d take the superior genetics of pure Latin women over the man-jawed yellow teeth Brits.

 

[Dominic]

Because he will be used as midfielder if that’s neccesary. We have no midfielder on the bench.

All the more reason to have bentancur as alternative from the bench.

Berna and Costa to turn the match around as subs.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Ok that’s a 4-4-2 imo. Matuidi wide on the left. I love when Max plays him there, always does well.

And Snobist has even more terrible football opinions than Fr3sh does.

 

[campionesidd]

You know what? I like the attitude at redcafe much more than the attitude at Tuz.
They always have faith in their team, even if it’s delusional at times. On the hand, people here are never satisfied with anything and are always writing the team off at every opportunity. It’s getting boring honestly.
