I don't get why tho. Spurs style simply can't have been a surprise to him. Was he expecting soemthing else from Pooch or did his players misunderstand the tactical plan; or perhaps he was outcoached.

High press; direct balls towards Kane, Alli, Son (a lot of of-the-ball movement); overload around the 2nd ball, win it and establish your play with Eriksen and Dembele; lose the ball-> high press (rinse and repeat). When in a while you see Vertonghen or Dembele build-up but usually when the high press is already working.
It's probably just the fact that Higuain/Dybala can't be benched so the formation picks itself. And when you combine the fact that you'd be dropping one of them for a CM like Sturaro, then it's probably not worth it.

The press has been really kind to him tho. If it had been mourinho, wenger or conte who had blown an effective 2 goal cushion, they'd have been crucified.
I think that’s because he lost to the two time runner ups in the last three years and played pretty well on top of it. If they had lost to a different team, he’d catch a lot more shit.

People at thefighing$#@! forum keep talking about Agnelli and Marotta influencing the ref. No one talked about real things actually happened in the field such as DC penalty or Kane's offside. Totally lacking common sense.
lol wat

If you told me they said that Marotta brainwashed the ref with his posessed eye i would believe it more

Those few minutes where Dybala and Higuain scored were probably the best couple of minutes all season for me in what has otherwise been a horrible season. Fuck Spurs and Harry Kane :D

arsenal fans at work have been hugging me and shaking my hands thanking us for a job well done since beating them :lol:
We have little to be happy for this season, so that night was a good release to be honest. The manner in which it happened was the best, before those vital few minutes, Tottenham really believed they were going through, so how it was taken away from them in a matter of a few minutes was so enjoyable to watch, I think I supported Juve more than Juve fans in that game :lol:
