I think everyone here knows my belief in Juventus is endless. But our team is the weakest it has been in years. I really doubt we are going to get anywhere near Real.
Did you read that column on FI last week ? About how juve had changed from the final etc ?

Costa and Higuain will have a couple of good 'spots' and thats it

Preparing for another squash match ffs

Cant wait to see our defense sell Cristiano's goals amazingly though :baus:
Costa, Pjanic need to strike and shoot on goal whenever they get a chance...those kind of Benevento golazo from Costa are needed

Three man midfield please. Had we tried three in the middle at all in our last two encounters against RM? I reckon it's worth a go.

Yeah, if we had Dybala or Berna available you could argue for technique and courage, but sacrificing a mid for Alex Sandro or Mandzukic upfront doesnt make sense

Alex Sandro can play left back, no? Even if Asamoah was good last match, AS was pretty rubbish as a winger. We need to try to win the midfield and hold the ball. Counter attacks aren't going to work against Real Madrid. We have Cuadrado and Douglas Costa but who else is going to make it up the pitch in time to support them? Higuain doesn't have the pace, Mandzukic won't. Matuidi will probably try but if the counter fails and the ball quickly turns back over, Pjanic is left stranded with his dick in his hand. We will never keep a clean sheet trying to "absorb pressure" against Real Madrid. That's all a two man midfield will give us - cheap, half opportunities for counters.

Do you realise that you didn't put a single argument in there?

I placed more arguments than you did.

1) we don't buy big unless we sell big. By big I mean a big figure given to sign a world class player that plays for top clubs. We don't do that.
