[CL] Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 JUVENTUS [March 7th 2018] (7 Viewers)
- Thread starter Hust
- Start date
Spurs are not anything special. They don't play a single ball out from the back. They smash everything to Kane and win the 2nd ball. Somehow Allegri chose this tie to scrap a CDM that would sit on Kane and win that ball.
Their front 4 have no organization after they attack and the CDMs are heavily relied upon to counter press.
The backline is a bit of a joke. It's such a high line and the fullbacks couldn't stay in line with the CBs if there was a rope attached to them.
They smashed us because we have 2 strikers and neither provide a target so Spurs can go full retard press and we were helpless. Any time we actually got it to Higuain's feet, we looked like we would score ffs.

We would have destroyed
They have quality, no doubt. Their individual quality is underrated in fact.
I just don't think they would have played through our usual 4-5-1. And I think we just made it harder on ourselves. FFS, we scored 4 goals, missed a pen and had another 100% pen and we barely had the ball in 180 minutes.
I think they were setup to be beat 2-0 or 3-1 on aggregate and we just simply made it harder by playing exactly into their strengths.
When you play a high line like them and the fullbacks have no understanding with the CBs, you are not a serious team IMO.

No way man, my bad if it seemed like that, i wasn't meaning it in that 'bashing all that is Juventus' sense 
, i was just saying regarding the pessimism during the live thread tonight. 
Fino ala fine! :theflag:

On topic: As @Maddy said, the morale boost from this game shouldn't be underestimated either, for the first time in this UCL season luck was on our side for a change, hopefully we can build on this and improve even further, tho injuries again will play a huge factor in our development from here on, the lesser the better.

Didn't think we had much of a chance even after first goal. Till then, they targeted our weakness, packed the midfield, and outran and outmuscled us to every ball.
After the second, it was a familiar sight. Same old defensive organization and body language with our players gritting their teeth and not giving an inch away. Knew we were through.
It was Dybala indeed who beat their high line. And we were finally able to go around them and spread them with Licht coming on and overlapping.
A 36 yo CB marking wingers and playing as RB makes no sense.
DC and Chiellini:. And half-fit Pipita and Dybala did their job.

Edit: I was actually hoping we would get up after Spurs scored. This Juve needs a wake up call sometimes.
