So what now

 

[Mike-e-y]

You can see that from that GIF Chiellini isn't even looking at the ball until after his arm is raised. I think if he's looking at the ball then he doesn't even give the officials the opportunity to do the home fans another favour

 

[AOD4]

Im happy Conte changed to 4-3-3. If only we had a winger like Di Maria.
The guys played well, Tevez, Pogba and Barzagli was the most impressive.
I always think Chielini has lost his game, he, Pirlo and Buffon is the past.

As much I would like to rant about the referee, I will take from Conte's word that we should just get on with a referee mistake.
After all we had been given some wins in Serie A with referee mistakes as well.

I hope we stick with 4-3-3 after this, and considering we were missing Vuci and Lich, thinks can only be better.

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

Can not be playing Pirlo in these games any more

Chiellini should never have seen red but he's been fucking shit this season and isn't good enough right now.

Vidal is fantastic.

 

[jukazem]

Asa is never Juve worthy. He is boring predictable and lacks ideas.

That still makes Asamoah better than Ogbonna who's rubbish and shouldn't have been bought.

 

[Emmet]

Our lads can be proud of themselves (except Ogbonna). We did very well considering the circumstances.

Real won't get very far in the competition based on tonight's display.

Pogba MOM for me, Caceres was a warrior as well.

Marchisio was casper, if Monaco come calling again this summer we should sell in a heartbeat.

 

[HAZEM]

this team can do very great new performance without pirlo.. and maybe play 4-3-3 too. i mean look at pogba and teves and giovinco they played great passes to each other.. we looked much better without pirlo and asamoah is a beast in the middle.. he can do the box to box thing to cover our ass. great approach to the game and subs too. just not our result but we need to continue on this. more giovinco with tevez and lil pirlo and of course Caceres should play.

 

[vaper]

was the ref a la liga ref ?

 

[Linebreak]

You were praising him lately and now this.

Today was a big game and he didn't turn up.

He takes no responsibility in the game, shows no leadership, and is generally just a frail cowardly player when it matters.

 

[JuveJay]

I swear one of the 5th officials was eyeing Ronaldo up at the hand shake.

 

[Salvo]

Gala will beat an already qualified Real and buh bye!

Respect to Juve and Conte today.

13+2m for Ogbonna huh.

Yeah Real being through worries me. I feel like Gala will get a draw. The Ogbonna thing will pay off I think.
We need to win the next, put us on 5 hopefully Gala will on be on 5 as well and then we can go through. Because we would only need to beat Kop if Gala lose. Then a draw in Istanbul would do it.

 

[JCK]

Problems at the back, lots of fouls in the middle and totally out of ideas up top. All that combined with cowardly decisions and pussy approaches. Yes, this is our Juve this season. I will not focus on the referee, bad decisions or not after the red card we went back to pussy football by removing our only goal scorer and leaving Pirlo in a 10 man team where he will not get the space needed to play his game. He was never going to touch the ball and his defensive contribution is almost as good as mine. What makes us even more pathetic was that Real were playing at 50% of their potential and yet we couldn't even threaten them. The Champions League journey is over, actually it was over in Denmark when Giovinco came in because FCK's defenders were good in the air.

Buffon 5.5

Caceres 5
Barzagli 6.5
Chiellini 2
Ogbonna 4

Vidal 6
Pirlo 5
Pogba 6.5

Marchisio 4
Llorente 6
Tevez 6

Bonucci 6
Asamoah 5
Giovinco 6

Conte 1

 

[enzo]

Proud to be Juventino right now. Forza Juve!

Vidal, my hero. We will beat them at home, whatever may come

 

[sgjuveboy]

That still makes Asamoah better than Ogbonna who's rubbish and shouldn't have been bought.

U r right actually. Ogbo doesn't seem to understand the meaning of wearing a juve shirt

 

[Monco]

I'm proud of our team. Great result considering we were playing 10 against 11 for almost entire second half, we didn't go in "Juventus turtle shell" mode and kept on creating chances until the last minute. I would definitely like to see some more of this formation, especially with Giovinco in Marchisio's place. He looks completely different when he's given freedom to roam around, instead of having to fight against 30cm taller center backs. Llorente was great too, he's linking up with Tevez very nicely. Caceres has been a true warrior, love that guy to death.

The biggest disappointment is probably Ogbonna or Pirlo. Ogbonna was completely out of rhythm for the whole match. Seeing as he was bombing up the field while playing as center back against Verona, I thought he could do really well as a left back, but his lack of ball control and dribbling technique let him down. Meanwhile, Pirlo is getting slower, clumsier and generally worse with every single match. It's too early to judge whether he hit the point, where his game quality drops drastically, but it is concerning. We should rest him for the next couple of matches in order for him to be ready to play against Real in Turin.

My formation for next match (if everyone is available, except for Chiellini of course):

Buffon
Lichtsteiner Barzagli Bonucci Caceres
Vidal Pogba Asamoah/Marchisio
Giovinco
Llorente Tevez​

 

[Badass J Elkann]

fucking cunt ronaldo was even peeking to make sure the ref bought that shit, I fucking hope he dies

 

[Salvatore]

What a game - we looked okay, not great, but okay for the first time in the season, but a combination of Chiellini's worst game ever and a ridiculous referee meant we only just lost.

Notes:

- Why was Conte telling us all season that he doesn't have the players for a 4-3-3?
- Chiellini is unable to play as a CB in big matches
- Other than the early shot, Marchisio is a nothing player
- Pirlo has expired
- Vidal played like a lion
- Giovinco made a noticeable difference when he came on

 

[Vlad]

Today was a big game and he didn't turn up.

He takes no responsibility in the game, shows no leadership, and is generally just a frail cowardly player when it matters.

But that doesn't come as surprise, no matter how much his fanboys want him to step up. He simply can't, doesn't have it. Mediocre player at best.

 

[GrandePavel]

Very proud of the team tonight, so unlucky, out played Real for most if not all of the game. Yet again german refs looking to help Bayern and BVB by taking out their main rivals for the Champions League.
Buffon only made 1 or 2 saves, if not for non existant red card or pen (very unlucky Chiellini on both occasions) we would have deservedly won game.

Conte still the best manager in the world, willing to take the game to Real Madrid, even with 10 men.

Play like that from now on, 3rd straight scudetto in the bag.
