Bt sports pundits doing their best to shit on this win. Speaking like Monaco is one of their own and Rio Ferdinand saying Alves should choose the EPL over staying at Juve
It's obvious that PL 'neutrals' would want the underdog team who play ultra attacking football, especially against the cynical and miserly eyeties.

At some point I heard Steve McManananaamamanaaman say Higuain "wasn't fast enough". Silly micky twat, it's another example of how it's conditioned into English (you could say British or Irish as well) football fans that the faster everything is the better.

But overall I think we do generally get a fair bit of begrudging credit now for the sort of team we are, we are considered one of the best if not the best in Europe currently even over here.

That was before 4-2-3-1, since January this overall team shape and performance is best one since 2003.


Pre January I would say was the weakest since 2011.


Allegri is fucking amazing.

Yeah. I know. I'm just teasing.

Even when we shift formation that little bit, like tonight, we still look fantastic. The confidence the entire squad has picked up since shifting to a 4-2-3-1 is amazing. It even makes us look so much better when we shift back to 3 man backline.

All that resting from jardim back fired, second half they looked tired. Maybe even first half. Lol

Man Pogba would be such a monster for this team, coming on in the 85th minute.
I don't buy this premise. Allegri and the mgmt chanced the team from focus on midfield to focus on the attacking midfield and attack. We're a different team. It may could be coincidences, but @King of Kings and I talked about this, when we sold Pogba.

Edit: I lost a lot of faith in that thought during the season (even though I didn't go full retard).

Yeah, there is some credit, "professional" sounds a little bit like what they would call the German national team. It's about time we are getting credit although they kept commenting on how tired Monaco looked more than what a great job we did.

My post was a joke about how Pogba wouldn't make the team..
